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? |

I think people ignored my post?
I'm a Christian and I saw no anti-Christ allusions in the movie. Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. But if it takes analysis to see the Aethist symbolism in the movie, I doubt little kids would get it. |
