The Golden Compass

Viewer Beware!

This film is set to be released on December 7th. There are a number of Christian organizations that are alerting Christians to the film's potential dangers.

The film is based on Phillip Pullman’s book Trilogy. The three books in the Trilogy are The Golden Compass, also released as His Dark Materials; The Subtle Knife; and The Amber Spyglass.

It is a story of a battle against the church and a fight to overthrow God. In the end the children kill God and everyone can do as they please.

The following information was sent to me by a Christian lady in Virginia.  It is true.  I checked it out at Snopes.com.  At the end there is a link you can use to go to the proper page in Snopes.com.

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.
