Cap’n stace

I recently received a  message not to let my children (which I don’t have) watch the upcoming movie “The Golden Compass”, because it was completly anti-christian.  I have seen the previews for this movie and was intrigued so I immediately went and purchased the book.  Has anyone else read the book?  I have just finished it and it in no way bashed religion.  It did however express an Idea called Dust.  Which pertains to the fact that as humans get older they discover more about what is right and wrong.  The adam and eve story is cited in the book stating that adam and eve had no Dust until they ate from the tree of knowledge.  I don’t know how closely the movie follows the book, but just like Harry Potter and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this movie is based on fantastical fiction, and may be a bit on the extraordinary side with talking Polar Bears, Hot air balloon riding men, gyspies, and whiches which are all on a mission to save children.  Also there is the idea that one could travel between universes or planes if one could ride the Aurora (northern lights).  I haven’t read the other two books in the series, and the triliogy is called “His Dark Materials” but I didn’t understand why.  Maybe when I read the next two books I will find out.  And if the Author is an Atheist he has helped to deepen my faith in God because of the points he makes in his book that children are to young to understand.

This is a test. I just downloaded WP 2.3.1 and I think it works! Techie will be so proud!
