Athiest Movie...The Golden Compass
 

Atheist Movie Headed to Theaters

This is TRUE as noted at: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp

There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The Golden Compass", staring Nicole Kidman. The movie has been described as "atheism for kids" and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled "His Dark Materials" that was written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the "Chronicles of Narnia". His motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis' symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series. He wants kids to denounce God and Heaven but he does it in a very subtle way that parents may not pick up on what his true intentions are.

Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash Christianity and promote atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that "my books are about killing God." He has even stated that he wants to "kill God in the minds of children". It has been said of Pullman that he is "the writer the atheists would be praying for, if atheists prayed."

While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwise girl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat the oppressive forces of a senile God.

Another character, an ex-nun, describes Christianity as "a very powerful and convincing mistake." In the final book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse regarding Pullman's hatred of Jesus Christ.

"The Golden Compass" is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas season, and will probably be heavily advertised. Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, and that the children will want the books for Christmas.

Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know. This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the movie.

I have gotten sooooo many emails about this movie!! I have a ton of "mommy" friends and none of us will be taking our children to see it!!!!

Shame on Nicole Kidman!!!! She has children...why would she star in a movie like this?

Glad you started this thread!!!!!!!

Thank you for making this tread. I myself don't have skin kids but I do have a lot of friends that do and I will be letting them know about this. I myself was not aware of this but then againg I haven't gone to the movies in over a year.

Wow. Thats crazy. This movie is already being heavily advertised on Myspace also.

Give me a break. As if a movie is going to convert children to atheism.

wow. now you see, i want to read the books just because of all the trouble its going to stir up just to see for myself.

I watched the trailor and it actually looks good, but it may just be a good trailor. I don't have kids, so I might watch it. I won't let it change my views on things though.

I was thinking the same thing...

exactly. children aren't going to see the movie the way we do. From the looks of the trailer it looks like something kids would really like without reading too much into it. i've never heard of this movie or the books before this thread and if i had watched the trailer before reading this i would have never thought it had a hidden agenda.

Children are impressionable. Most learning is done in the formative years. I wouldn't poo-poo the idea off handedly.

btw, you avatar threw me!! LOL I keep trying to wipe it off my screen!

I don't like that they're making a movie like this. I heard that there's a character called 'God' that gets killed at the end or something

I've been seeing commercials for it and thought it looked interesting, but now I will not see it, just as I and my kids didn't see any of HP movies.

People against the true God have very subtle ways of getting through to children - using media to the hilt. I'm glad my kids are not small anymore.

Well the books have been out for years...I plan on reading them myself and have already reserved them at my library..he has written a ton of books..

Dawn

wow i am not going to go see that how horrible that they are targeting kids:( im definatly going to tell my whole family were seventh day adventist and when the narnia came out the whole church went together to go see it but this is unbeliveble:eek:

This author can possibly "kill God" with a movie or books? I know most kids have lost their innocence and may read into it. Maybe God could be "killed" in their lives, but God would never die in mine. I will be letting my sister know about this movie, and let her be the judge on letting my nephew see it or not. Good thing I don\'t have children.
