The Golden Compass

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 3, 2007, 12:35 PM
From what I heard this book now turning into a movie is about a group of people trying to kill God. I've also heard the author of the book wrote this in response to CS Lewis's, the Chronicles of Narnia. I've also heard that the author is a hardcore atheist.

Now you're probably expecting me to be all up in arms about this seeing how I'm a Christian, but you know what, I'm not. In fact I think it's important that the entire Christian community doesn't oppose this movie or make a big deal about this. You want to know why? Cause that's just what the author is expecting, I bet he loves to see Christians make a huge deal out of this and be outside of the movie theaters protesting this, but I think it's very important that we treat it like any other movie. Why? You didn't see Atheists protesting outside the movie theater when Narnia came out did you? I didn't think so, so for the love of God, quit making a big deal out of this because it's this sort of thing that gives Christians the reputation that it has. I really don't like to be grouped in with those people who stand outside the movie theaters protesting movies that are apparently "atheist propaganda." Quit making a big deal about it, you're not helping anyone.

Hi Keith,

As you know, I am an Atheist, but it's no big deal. I've seen some trailers of this movie, and I don't rate it. In my opinion it looks a little corny.

Take care mate,
Yan

You have no idea how epic and amazing this set of books is, to tell you the truth, the movie will be an entirely dumbed down version of them.

Also, all the christians getting up tight about really need to open their fucking minds and read the books before they pass judgement. ITS A FANTASY NOVEL. So because he wants to kill god to stop people dying, does that also mean that witches will aslo appear in the world and people will start sprouting magical companions called daemons?

I just think its funny how stupid people can be, it doesnt concern them whatsoever, I find it funny that the fundamentalist christians feel that they have the RIGHT to take things away from people who do not share the same view, when really, they are the same as everyone else.

People should have the choice, not the choice taken away.
I haven't read the books in a while, so I must've forgotten that part of the story. o.O

However, it just sounds like another case of what happened with Harry Potter. "It's teaching kids witchcraft!" Which is totally real.


I can fly on a broom, you know. ¬_¬

Always wash your hands after touching your body parts!
If he's an atheïst how can he kill god. He doesn't believe there is one ffs (me neither, but that's not important).

I annoy you, therefore I exist.

Definitely man...this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff that gives Christians a bad rep. I think the movie will be great.
Yeah movies are usually dumbed down versions of books lol. But calm down, not every Christian is the same, I don't want me message to be out of anger for what other Christians are doing, I just want everyone to open their eyes to see that they are passing judgment, exactly what we're not called to do as Christians.

humans in general take too many things personally don't they? I mean they should relax and live life with loved ones since thats more worth while then protesting outside a movie theater

Well an author's job is never done till next time readers
Honestly it doesn't make any difference to me what religion or beliefs the author of the book has, people just like to say, oh he's atheist so obviously this is a movie that will be 1 up for atheists. It's ridiculous.

Or the Da vinci code for that matter lol. Why must people take fiction so seriously.

Exactly my point lol. I'm guessing you didn't make a big deal out of Naria either.
