Yes, it's a straight copy/paste. Yes, I don't post anymore. Read anyway and pretend it's me writing. - JLR

The Golden Compass movie is set to premier on December 7, during the
Christmas season, and will probably be heavily advertised. This movie is
based on a the first book of a trilogy by atheist Philip Pullman. In the
final book a boy and girl kill God so they can do as they please.
Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003
interview that "My books are about killing God."

The movie is a watered down version of the first book and is designed to
be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting parents will take their
children to see the movie and that the children will want the books for
Christmas.

The movie has a well known cast, including Nicole Kidman, Kevin Bacon,
and Sam Elliott. It will probably be advertised extensively, so it is
crucial that we get the word out to warn parents to avoid this movie.

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.

You can research this for yourself. You might find the

Not tired of reading about the movie?

Here are more details:

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 sai d of Pullman that he is "the writer the atheists would be
praying for, if atheists prayed."
