The Golden Compass is a new movie which is coming out in December. It is an adaptation from one of the books by Philip Pullman who is an atheist who from what I hear despises C.S. Lewis and his wonderful Narnia Chronicles.
There is quite the number of articles out there talking about how horrible it is for this movie to come out, especially at a time so close to Christmas. The movie is supposed to spark an interest in kids to read the books by Mr. Pullman in which he shows of his anti-Christian side.
All of this is quite true, however I don't think the movie is a threat to me and my kids at least. If at this time the parents have not gotten a message that they should pay attention to what is being offered to our kids than I'm sorry but this movie will not threaten any child, because that child is most likely already exposed to hundreds of similar attacks. It is one of the most important roles a parent has, to filter the junk the world tries to throw at our kids. I would never take my child to see anything in a theater or on TV for that matter unless I know exactly whats it is.
It was the same with The Da Vinci Code, it was sad for me to see tons of teens reading this junk, yet I wonder how many of their parents knew about it. Sad sad sad.
This is a fight for our kids. Their future is in their parents hands. If we don't protect them no one will do it for us, thats for sure.
