The Golden Compass, Selling Kids to Atheism? Options

[StandardEdition]

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.

i don't know who thinks u are trying to boycott the movie, we've all just said those who do are idiots.

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.

god...singular...gods...plural.

if u don't even look at the money, then why will it matter if a phrase that doesn't support the separation of church and state be taken off? why should we leave it there because it's been there for a long time, how about we put the actual national motto that was originally there FIRST.

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?

someone said u couldn't debate it?


i'm not going to see the movie
