A new movie to not see...
Snopes says it is true
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp
There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The Golden
Compass". 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.
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 posted something about it on my blog, too. My mother in law is going to send out a huge e-mail. How did you set your blog to not allow anonymous comments? I can't find that option anywhere...
TAG YOU'RE IT!!! go to my blog and see what you have to do.
I got a couple of emails from friends already about this so I'm glad the word is getting around. I was intrigued when watching the preview for it, I love fantasy and mythical movies, but I will definetely NOT see this one. We hope you and your family had a fun and safe Halloween!
