But now that the Harry Potter series is over, along comes atheist author Phillip Pullman to put out his version of anti-God books and movies. The first is a movie called the Golden Compass. I always look up questionable movies on ChristianAnswers.net and take their reviews into consideration before making a final decision on what movies my girls can see or even what Tom and I would want to see. Well they had alot to say about The Golden Compass. Here are just a few things:
This film is an adaptation of part the trilogy of His Dark Materials novels by atheist activist Phillip Pullman who was featured in the 2005 documentary series “Why Atheism?”. He is described as “one of England's most outspoken atheists” by New Yorker journalist Laura Miller. For more information, see:
- Pullman said in an interview, “My books are about killing God. …If we're talking on the scale of human life and the things we see around us, I'm an atheist. There's no God here. There never was. But if you go out into the vastness of space, well, I'm not so sure. On that level, I'm an agnostic.” [Steve Meacham, “The Shed Where God Died,” The Syndney Morning Herald (December 12, 2003).]
- “Philip Pullman Realizes ‘Killing God’ Not the Ideal Sales Pitch” (New York magazine)
- “Atheism for kids” (Washington Times)
- “This is the most dangerous author in Britain” and “A labour of loathing” (Peter Hitchens, The Mail)
- “Christian Response and Reaction to Pullman and His Dark Materials” (Anthony Horvath, Christian apologist)
- “The Impoverished Imagination” (Prison Fellowship)
- “The Christmas-Crushing Movie” (L. Brent Bozell III, Media Research Center)
- “Will your kid discover his personal ‘daemon’?” (Linda Harvey, Mission America)
I am very disappointed that Nicole Kidman and Kevin Bacon would have anything to do with this movie. I liked them but not anymore. To read the whole review, including comments from people that have seen the movie, just click here.....Golden Compass review on ChristianAnswers.net.
