The Golden Compass

Just a quick note - there will be more to come - PARENT ALERT!

The Golden Compass a movie marketed for kids but is it intended to steal their souls?
This movie hits screens in December heavily marketed as a family film in the tradition of Narnia, the author's intended message, however, is very different.
Before loading up the minivan and taking your family or chatting casually with your church kids about this latest release, take time to read some of the disturbing comments from the author himself. Philip Pullman is a self-acclaimed agnostic who says, "There is a God, but he is a lair and he's mortal." Although a watered down version of his books, the movie is still full of witches and daemons (pronounced demons) with adult themes that even MTV says, "This is no mere children's story….It's more for adults."

I have checked out the website for this movie - it is crazy what it is there - for example you can find your "daemon." And learn to work the compass - like fortune telling.

I have read that the movie is a watered down version of the first book that is intended to entice purchase of this book and the other two in the trilogy where each book gets worse in the depiction of God and anti-Christian views.

Check back soon - I will be doing further postings on this topic
