But they'd better watch out about what God is capable of...

Some will see it and some will not.
To each their own.
so blatant. it will be interesting to see how many irresponsibly go to see this movie with their children that call themselves Christian.
Don't care to know either.
I went to the web site and wasn’t particularly impressed with the concept they were trying to sell there.
When they propose you (children) have to link up with the sprite (forget if this is the right word for it or not) of your choice, they lost my support.
It’s one thing to have a character that kids admire in a movie. It’s another to sell them on the idea that they can’t fluorish/survive without that entity.
I hope everyone here at FR has learn more damage can be done to a film you disapprove of by not showing up for it than to become some news magazines “kook of the week” at a theater protest.
Just quietly kill it with your word of mouth, make sure you watch for the name Deborah Forte the producer( because they are the ones that have financially backed it) and not buy or rent her stuff again.
At some point hollywood will learn or the investment groups behind them that creating hostile entertainment against Christians is a losing business. These people only understand box office. DONT publically protest it and start a buzz about the film.
how can an atheist kill something he doesn’t believe exists in the first place?
bump
“Our kids are big LOTR and Narnia fans so hopefully we can avoid
the previews.”
The previews/trailers for “The Golden Compass” might be a good
“teachable moment”.
From what little I’ve seen, it looks like “The Golden Compass” is
just work of a faker (director) hoping to hitch his DERIVATIVE
work to the tail of Narnia.
And hoping that will get them plenty of $$$ at the box office.
The message of the books is that God is actually a petty, jealous Power who is deliberately stunting the potential of Man, so that he can remain an uber-dictator for eternity. The only solution is to rebel against God and kill him, thus freeing the omnipotence of Man to do whatever he wants.
Makes Harry Potter look like a saint, eh?
I’ve already told my kids we aren’t see this movie and to not ask me to see it, lol! I told them it is evil and about kids who want to kill God.
Lord of the Rings and the Narnia books are both overtly Christian books, written by Oxford Dons who were trying to convey Christian ideas and ideals largely without mentioning any specific religious names or history. They were part of a group that called themselves the Inklings. There is a fairly large body of evidence (including her own statements) that J. K. Rowling was trying to continue that tradition with the Harry Potter books.
The guy who wrote these books is an anti-Inkling, trying to tear down Christian ideas and ideals and specifically intending to bring about the downfall of any Christian church, but most specifically the Catholic church, as I understand it.
People have been trying to kill God for over 2000 years.....
If what is what this author really thinks, he is wasting his time!
"Golden Compass" was the only children's book I ever threw away!
Where "Narnia" is a Christian allegory, "The Golden Compass" is a satanic allagory with the kids following the beautiful angel that God threw out of heaven because of his jealousy of his beauty, and the kids have their own demon(daemon) sidekicks. Just sick.
Before you think I would be horribly picky about everything my kids read, they loved Harry Potter series, though I did use it as a teaching tool;-)
This covers multiple Moral Absolutes, doesn’t it?
But they'd better watch out about what God is capable of...
They’re still excellently written books.
