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? |

QUOTE(Michelle @ Dec 10 2007, 06:02 PM)  Yes, kind of like how reading Harry Potter will turn in you into a witch. My older brother's wife (they are Mormon) refuses to let their children read anything like Harry Potter because of "witch craft". It's unfortunate, not because they're missing out on prolific writing necessarily, but because they are being so heavily guarded. My sister (who is also Mormon) sent me the big "OH NO IT PROMOTES ATHIEISM" forward a few weeks ago. I love my family but for goodness sake, take things for face value will you? I wish that people would just enjoy literature instead of finding something evil with just about everything. |

Indeed. On a side note, I'm the first person in generations to not follow the Mormon faith. |
