I saw a clip of the new childrens fantasy movie the Golden Compass. Its based on the first of a trilogy of books by Philip Pullman. Many Christian and Religious freaks, and thats exactly what they are, freaks...are calling the movie and the books anti-Christian.

They really need to get something else to do with their time. They have issues with the books because A. Philip Pullman is openly agnostic, meaning he believes or admits to having no real knowledge of whether or not a God exists. To me in regards to the movie thats besides the point.

In the book and movie itself there is an organization that represents what all are supposed to follow and it is also the organization that is eventually defeated. Well not to ruin it of name anything in the movie or the books if you haven't read or seen them, that organization is defeated.

The Church and Religious freaks out there seem to think that this represents the defeat of religion/God. What an incredible stretch and incredible waste of time on their part.

This is not the first, nor will it be the last time religious nut jobs speak out about a movie or get their panties in a knot over some innocent children's movie. It happened with the Harry Potter books, which in some places are actually banned down in the bible belt of the US. They think that Harry Potter being all about witch craft is essentially evil and anti-christian as well.

I say to all them, get a life and stop ruining good things. You are really reaching on both of these and if anything Religion should be more under attack for promoting its agenda....An invisible being who is all knowing and needs money from us when we go to worship it.....These religious nut jobs speak out about these things like they are going to bring an end to religion as we know it, well I have news for them, they need to be a little more confident and less defensive when something like this comes out. Their beliefs have been around for thousands of years, nothing has changed them yet, why do they think a simple childrens story is going to defeat Christianity, I highly doubt that Jesus would be this defensive and attack oriented.

Personally, Ill stick to Harry Potter and The Golden Compass...Stay home on Sunday and worship my IPOD.
