This is an article I just read about the movie, The Golden Compass. I am not posting this to say negative things about this movie (although they are negative) I am posting it because as parents I feel we should know the underlying messages of the movies and books we see and read. Use your own judgment based on your own feelings and research. Love you all!
The Golden Compass - A movie to avoid
THIS IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM
DR. BRYAN CUTSHALL
Yesterday, I was handed a children's book by a staff member who
said, "I think you need to see this."
The book is published by Scholastic and is part of a collection of
books. The book I was given is called The Golden Compass. This
children's book is one of the most alarming things I have ever
read.
What makes it worse is that a movie based on the book premieres
in December. Both the book and the movie introduce atheism to
children. The story ends with Adam and Eve killing God.
THIS IS A MOVIE THAT WE MUST PROTEST AND OPPOSE AS CHRISTIANS.
Please educate yourself on this by checking out the links I have
provided below and help me spread the word. Do not remain silent on this issue.
This is a time for the family of GOD to stand together.

I checked this out at snopes.com; unfortunately, it's true...
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" 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' symbolism's of Christ 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,
"my books are about killing God." He has even stated that he wants "to kill God in the minds
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 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 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.
The Golden Compass is a movie to avoid!

I've received the emails about this movie and even though it looks really good and I really wanted to see it, I'm not going to simply so I'm not supporting the author and his "mission". I think it's good you are spreading the word, D!
Thanks for the heads up, we will not be watching this!
Thanks for the heads up. It does look like such a good movie, but now I'm definitely not going to see it. I've heard it's supposed to contradict the Chronicles of Narnia--which are the most uplifting and amazing stories. And the movie was incredible. After seeing those, there's no way I'll watch something that will make me feel the opposite. Later!
