kitkat's blog: "Me"

created on 09/25/2007  |  http://fubar.com/me/b133656
Many of you have seen the ads about the movie "the Golden Compass" or maybe you've seen the book. Today a friend from Ikebana school sent me an email asking me to boycott the book & movie because of the authors atheist views. Who cares what the authors views are if the story is entertaining? I read the first book and saw nothing about his views about religion and i look forward to seeing the adaptation of the movie. Enclosed is what I got and what I sent. From my friend: "The Golden Compass" movis is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas season, and will probably be heavily advertised. This movie is based on 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 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. Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know. This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the movie. You can research this for yourself. You can find the following article from snopes.com:http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp The movie has been described as "atheism for kids" and is based on the first book of trilogy entitled "His Dark Materials" that was written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist who despises C.S. Lewis and the "Chronicles of Narnia." His motivation for wiring this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis's symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series. Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash Christianity and promote atheism. He has openly even stated that he wants to "kill God in the minds of children". It has been said of Pullman that he is "the writer the atheists would be praying for, if atheists prayed." Please pass this on to everyone you know! Families, (particularly children) are in great danger of this twisted mindset!" From me: Sorry, but I've read the 1st book and found it to be entertaining. In the first book there is nothing about religion at all unless is was so vague that it was not worth noting. Since I don't pay attention to the religious views of writers, I just enjoyed the story. His views are just that, his views, and he is free to express them as he sees fit. If I spent all my time analyzing every last little thing I read or watched, I would never have any fun at all. I don't need to know the meaning of life to enjoy life. Please remember, movies are for entertainment, not for the meaning of life. Enjoy them while you can. If Pullman's books upset you, then I suggest you read "the Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe" stories instead. You may find them more to your liking. Happy Holidays!
