Golden Compass

Do not remain silent on this issue. This is a time for the family of GOD to stand together. The movie has been described as 'atheism for kids' and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled 'His Dark Materials' written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist.  [remember, most Atheists are not people who don't believe in God--they are people who HATE God!]

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, '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.

... I began to sense that something was wrong with the book. 

However, I was completely unprepared for the ending in which one of the major characters imprisoned and then killed a boy as part of a plan to challenge and eventually kill God. 

It was the most horrifying example of child abuse I have ever read in literature, yet the killer was portrayed as a heroic person trying to destroy God. What at first seemed to be a creative and compelling story line descended into well-written evil in which child-murder is portrayed as a way to gain spiritual power, and God is portrayed as a horrible being. 

The producers of the soon-to-be-released movie version of the Golden Compass have removed some of the most evil parts of the book. They say, however, that if enough people pay to watch the movie they will make two followup movies that are more "true" to the books.

 Consider carefully the message you would be giving to the producers by paying money to watch this movie. Consider too whether or not this is the type of message to which you want to expose yourself and your children.

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 boycott 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.

Friends, when will we learn not to allow our children to feed from the world's fodder. Does not even common sense tell us that Satan rules in the worldly entertainment? So many 'Christians' seem to think if it is for children, then it is 'cute' and innocent. How naive can we get? It is Satan's purpose in this last generation to so contaminate the minds of our children that there will be no possibility of their being saved and being used of God in the final work of warning a dying world. Is it not time to return to the scruples of our people in earlier days, who would have no more thought of allowing their children to watch or read the popular entertainment of the day than they would have offered them as a sacrifice to Baal in the front yard.
