After receiving what I felt was a inflammatory e-mail attacking anyone who is not of a “christian” mindset, I checked out the trailer for the movie The Golden Compass.

Looks awesome, and I will for sure be seeing the movie, kids included by myself, wifey just watched the trailer and said it looked too violent for the boys! GASP!!

I, too, checked this out on Snopes.com and it is true. I hope this movie is a big box-office bust! You can research this for yourself with this article on Snopes.com. It is very anti-religion of any kind. It is beyond comprehension why these 3 big movie stars would even deem this script as one they felt compelled to use to ‘advance’ their careers. Please look into this movie and preview the book so your children and grandchildren will not be exposed to this kind of so-called literature and its defamation of our religious beliefs.

PS If any of you have differing information on this movie, I am open to seeing that and forwarding it as well. I admit that not viewing a movie first before sending out an email like this is not my usual way to approach something of which I don’t approve. Your input from other sources would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please read! ( FYI)

THE GOLDEN COMPASS, a new movie targeted at children, will be released December 7, 2007. This movie is based on a the first book of a trilogy
by atheist Philip Pullman. In the final book a boy and girl kill God so they can do as they please. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that ‘My books are about killing God.’

The movie is a watered down version of the first book and is designed to be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the movie and that the children will want the books for Christmas.

The movie has a well known cast, including Nicole Kidman, Kevin Bacon, and Sam Elliott. It will probably be advertised extensively, so it is crucial that we get the word out to warn parents to avoid this movie.
