Atheist’s Movie for Children to Hit Theaters in December

On the Crosstalk Show today, I’ll be talking about The Golden Compass movie that is scheduled to open just before Christmas. This children’s fantasy movie is being dubbed the “Atheist’s answer to Narnia” because it is based on the atheist trilogy of books called His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. God is evil and bad and gets killed off in the books. Such clever children, to kill off God. Unbelievable.

The hatred for God is getting louder in our culture, and countless evangelical children with their clueless parents will undoubtedly help make Philip Pullman an even richer man. The movie is based on the first and reportedly least offensive of the books and has removed some of the most despicable portions. Marketers are hoping that the movie, however, spawns huge interest in the book series which presents hardcore atheism for children. The Catholic League is so alarmed over the movie that they have produced a 25-page book warning parents about the agenda of the atheist behind the project.

Christian parents need to stop running to the theaters with their children to catch every latest offering. The world has always hated Christ and now that it’s socially accepted to say so, the moral squalor of our popular culture worsens hourly. Christian children need to be given books and materials that are based on truth. We have a standard for truth found in God’s Word. To keep running to the world that is in rebellion to God in order to entertain ourselves and our children is sin. There are wonderful Christian alternatives in books and movies and wise parents will look for them.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

–Matthew 18:6
