LETTER: ‘The Golden Compass’ is anti-Christian

I am totally outraged about the movie “The Golden Compass,” an upcoming movie for children in December. It is my hope that I do not see this movie at any Hutchinson movie theater. I want to warn all readers not to solicit this movie.
“The Golden Compass” stars Nicole Kidman. I don’t know if you have heard anything about it, but they are going to advertise it as a normal children’s movie but in the end it is trying to teach children that there is no God. It is based on a trilogy of children’s books and the author is an atheist. They evidently do some strange things in the movie and at the very end a girl and boy are supposed to be depicting Adam and Eve and then they kill God. They are trying to be very mild about it through the movie until the end so a lot of parents won’t even know that it is coming. I wanted to pass the information on before you decide to take your children to see this movie. Also, the studio will be promoting the author’s books so you may want to become familiar with the author’s name and the books that he writes.
If you want to read more info about it, the Web site is: http://snopes.com/ [1] politics/religion/compass.asp
I know that I was astonished that someone would make a movie like this and especially directed toward children!
