The author is an atheist and the movie cut out some really bad scenes but it still has a pretty bad message about God sadly.

i was told by someone who saw it tha they try to kill GOD so me and my kids sure wont watch it or read it.

In the trilogy God is killed, so the feeling is an atheist message, but I don;t think kids go to a movie and come out saying

"I wanna be an atheist." Kids are not that easily swayed

Movies are nothing more than audio/visual opinions. It is up to you on how you choose to interpret them. As well as how you discuss the issues presented with your children.

Hansel & Gretal had some pretty awful implications didn't it? How about Little Red Riding Hood? Snow White and so on. Withcraft, eating children. Kind of makes me laugh when I hear people having fits over Harry Potter. Some of the tales I mentioned are far more sinister than any Harry Potter movie I ever saw.

It is far more important that you have a calm and rational discussion with your children about what they plan to see or have seen. I see no value in hiding opinions from them. Teach them to consider the source and motivation behind the opinion maker. And to come to their own conclusions. They will be stronger and smarter adults this way.

This is what I heard....
That since C.S. Lewis's books are highly parallell to Christian stories, that they guy who wrote the books in the Golden Compass series, in answer to C.S.'s books, wrote his to shoot down the Chronicles of Narnia series.

I don't know how long it's been since the previous yahoo members read the books, but the God-figure who's killed isn't even a God at all.

He's a false God, the first angel who fools everyone into thinking he is God because he wants to rein supreme over all creation. They call him The Authority.

Really Phillip Pullmans trilogy is a critique of abusive authority and corrupt institutions that hide behind the divine while they do their dirty work...

...maybe that's why so many Catholics have taken against it!

I can see how the film could be viewed as anti-catholic, but I see Catholicism as a culture of privilege and domination where people are not supposed to question authority.
I mean Phillip Pullman isn't the only person to have criticised the church, Matthew 23 anyone?
"Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."

Basically, the trilogy is about the corruption of the Church, not about anything anti-Christian as far as I'm concerned.

That said though, I do understand why some people might not want their children to see the film.
