Ok so i'm sure you've all heard of The golden Compass[Idk why you shouldn't if you didn't becausethey've been advetsing it like hell.].
And some beleivers are boycotting this movie because they think it sells kids to Atheism. So my question is, from what you've seen in the previews, do you think that this movie does sell atheism to kids. From what i've seen, no. I mean I don't really no the story or anything but it doesn't look so bad to me. IT looks like a fantasy, kind of like narnia but you know, written by an atheist. So what do you think? |

Why does everyone seem to think I'm trying to convince people to boycott this movie. Is pointing out articles on the movie or typing my opinions based on what I know before seeing the movie a boycott. NO it's just merely an opinion, and that's it.
I have no desires to allow my child to see it, one because of age, and two becuase I would prefer to see it before I allow her to watch it to make sure it's even okay afte rlal the hype about it. I probably will see it eventually, but I also have no desire to see it in the movie theatre and can wait till DVD. I haven't seen Narnia or LOTR or anything along those lines only because they aren't my thing. As for the "In God We Trust" the only reason I think it's pathetic that it's even in the court system is because it's been on our money forever, leave it alone. LIke someone else mentioned, I don't even look at my money other then to make sure I'm grabbing the correct change or dollar bill. Half the time I don't look at anything other than a number. And as far as the Pledge of Allegiance goes, "one nation under God" is not representing one God, or just a Christian God. Some people beleive in Buddha and Allah and all those other religious Gods. Who ever said I was referencing it to mean One Christian God? You can beleive in any God you choose. So many are quick to point out they can do what they want, when they want and how they want... and your right you can, just as much as I can sit here and debate this topic.... after all this is a forum isn't it? So to clarify, I have neither pointed out if I am religious or not, if I beleive in magical powers or not, nor have I tried to persuade anyone of you reading this to boycott the movie. I could care less. I hope you all enjoy it really. I hope that the horrible hype it is getting is false. But I do know that the man is an atheist. That is fact, and that is all I was tryign to point out in the first place to the very first girl who posed the question if it was true that the movie had anything to do with aetheism. The movie itself may or may not... the writer who wrote it does. So who is going to see the movie this weekend, and share all about it with us. I'm interested to know! |
