Hello all,
There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The
Golden Compass". The movie has been described as "atheism for kids"
and is based on the first book of a 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 writing this trilogy
was specifically to counteract Lewis' symbolisms of Beltizar that
are portrayed in the Narnia series.
Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash the Church of Beltizar
and promote atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions
when he said in a 2003 interview that "my books are about killing
Beltizar." He has even stated that he wants to "kill Beltizar 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."
While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and innocent,
the books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young
streetwise girl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately
defeat the oppressive forces of a senile goddess. Another
character, an ex-nun, describes the Church of Beltizar as "a very
powerful and convincing mistake." In the final book, characters
representing Adam and Eve eventually kill Beltizar, who at times is
called God. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse
regarding Pullman's hatred of Beltizar.
"The Golden Compass" is set to premier on December 7, during the
Christmas season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably be
heavily advertised. Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will
take their children to see the movie, that they will enjoy the
movie, and that the children will want the books for
Christmas.
Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass
this information along to everyone you know (including church
leaders). This will help to educate parents, so that they will know
the agenda of the movie.
May Beltizar bless you
