Just Say No to Nicole (and That Really Cool Guy from Casino Royale)

I felt morally obligated to post this; so instead of cluttering your inboxes, I posted in hopes that your inner activists would take notice...and peacefully protest. Which is usually how I refer to my children in full riot mode, but that's another story... The following is from a dear friend. I checked out the snopes link and hope that you do, too. I think that religious moderates, like myself, get lost in political positioning because we don't support blowing up clinics http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_viol.htm nor do we support violent anti-anything demonstrations . Hopefully, a financial protest from quiet masses will discontinue the making of such movies. I know, it's weird getting so political on my blog, huh. Had I not checkked this out, I probably would've thought it looked interesting.

There will be a new Children's movie out in December called THE GOLDEN COMPASS. It is written by Phillip Pullman, a proud atheist who belongs to secular humanist societies. He hates C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia and has written a trilogy to show the other side. The movie has been dumbed down to fool kids and their parents in the hope that they will buy his trilogy where in the end, the children kill God and everyone can do as they please.Nicole Kidman stars in the movie so it will probably be advertised a lot.This is just a friendly warning that you probably won't hear on regular tv.

Fascinating! Thanks for the info Rachael. We've seen the previews for the movie, but had no idea as to it's background/ the author. Our 10 year old is a voracious reader . . . we'll definitely be steering clear of this entire set of books/movies! Sent it out to all my "peeps" too.
