I was just forwarded this email by a parent. I have a copy of the book on our shelf
but have never read it. Any opinions out there?
Snopes says this is true....
The Golden Compass--A Warning!
THE GOLDEN COMPASS, a new movie targeted at children, will be released December 7,
2007. 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 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.
You can research this for yourself.
