There are many films out there that are so-called Anti-Christian.
Why is this film suddenly so special? Is the Church afraid that it will
influence the Young Children??? It seems to me that the book is a real reflection of what is going on in our lives. Yes the Church has a very powerful influence in this world and Yes they do control the so-called masses.. Hey Guys thats YOU and ME, we are the masses so wake up.
Yes I Want The Sequel. I also want us to actually see what is really going on. We are being controlled and the Trilogy is not far wrong. JUST WAKE UP WORLD.

I’m a little late with my comment but must chime in. I had never heard of the books or the movie until it came out on dvd and I absolutley adored it. Taking note that the writer of the book was “anti whatever”, who cares! I didn’t find it to be any worse than any other fantastical movie that we are comsuming from other writers whose religiosity, or lack there of, isn’t pronounced! The moment that movie was over I felt an overwhelming need to see when the sequal would be released. To my dismay, I don’t see a sequal in sight……argh! I agree with Kevin in saying that I cannot believe, in this day and age, that people have to focus on this movie, which, from what I’ve read and seen, is rid of the vicious anti-religious sentiment. Why don’t the “church people” go to church and worry about the C$&$^ M^&(#&^% priests instead of what they aren’t promoting in the theater!

I watched the movie not too long ago and I thought it was one of the best movies I have ever seen even though I have to say that the petition against the sequels is really unneccesary and shows how much churches want to control our lifes. Most would think, oh you are saying that cause you are atheist but my family is catholic and I have seen how they tried to control me into joining god and all, this is the 7th time that thanks to the churches and religion something that I enjoyed watching is going to be banned and I have to say that all that support churches, with all do respect, are morons cause you let some pastor which follows the words of a man that we arent even 100% sure lived, tell you what to do, what to watch, and what to say. Im sure that Im not the only one that feels this way and so I would really enjoy chatting with anyone that shares my same opinions.

I think thats funny how some think that all christians dislike the movie along with rock and roll. Just like all prejudices you cannt lump everyone who is a christian together. I’m one, saw the movie thought it was very good. Anyway to the point. the end was an open ender, do we know if a sequel is in play??

Hollywood should stop making this trash and shame on the actors for signing up for this. What real role models they are.

This movie is based on a the first book of a trilogy
by atheist Philip Pullman. In the final book a boy and girl kill God so they can do as they please. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that “My books are about
killing God.”
The movie is a watered down version of the first book and is designed to be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the the movie and that the children will want the books for
Christmas.

From what I understand, he’s not “anti-relion” he’s anti-Church/religous establishment.

Also, the movie is supposed to take out all the religous stuff and just focus on the adventure aspect. The studio said they intentionally did this as to not offend certain groups.

I’ve not read the books, nor do I intend to see the movie, albeit that’s not because I’m a Christian. It simply didn’t look interesting (to me, that is) to begin with. But I don’t see how anyone could blame someone for refusing to support a franchise whose primary purpose is to undermine their entire system of beliefs. Most people don’t realize that Pullman isn’t merely anti-Christian, but anti-religion. I do find it a bit disheartening that so many of the cast are actors that I think highly of—I find it hard to respect someone quite as much knowing that they’ve worked on a project knowing that the aim of the writer was to maliciously undermine people’s beliefs.
