I hate that line. So, we are supposed to act dumb and not question anything? I like questioning. I like teaching my six year old to find his own belief. If you are looking - I think you are more spiritual than those who acknowledge a god and live in hypocritical evil. Why do beliefs have to be different? Does anyone else see that they are all the same? The Golden Compas, the Bible, Buddah... it's all the same....<BR/>So, ban the movie. Go ahead - you fearful self righteous freaks. I have pity on you. You are the same as those who kill abortion doctors. Killers. Killers of thought. In the name of fear. In the name of God. In the name of the Lucifer. Do you all get that? The only thing I like about a catholic mass is when they Give peace. Peace be with you. And all of you. God I pray.Joyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025170209836516253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-3461168319023362292007-12-02T20:32:00.000-08:002007-12-02T20:32:00.000-08:00I think that as followers of Christ we should enga...I think that as followers of Christ we should engage the culture and be thoughtful in our criticism and not just reactionary. I keep hearing all this talk about banning the movie...I think that is a big mistake.<BR/><BR/>We shouldn't be threatened by ideas that are contrary than ours. We should be able to talk through our differences.<BR/><BR/>I posted some thoughts about the Golden Compass on my blog here:<BR/><BR/>http://provocativechurch.blogspot.com/2007/11/power-of-story.html<BR/><BR/>Also, ChristianityToday posted a helpful piece by Jeffery Overstreet that give a balanced view and addresses questions and concerns Christians have about the books and movie.<BR/><BR/>http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/commentaries/fearnotthecompass.htmlBill Reicharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760818211029009936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-39671764294104005432007-12-02T08:00:00.000-08:002007-12-02T08:00:00.000-08:00Finally, someone who is keeping whithin proportion...Finally, someone who is keeping whithin proportions. I agree with your opinion. Yes, I can understand how people could be threatened by this, but it's still odd to me.<BR/>I'm a 20 year old Israeli girl, and this trilogy has been one of my favourites for over eight years now. It has hurt me to see the way it is being spoken of now, as devilry, and an atheist ploy. A lot of things in it were misinterpreted. It seems as though we've gone right back to medieval ages!<BR/>In a free, democratic world, everything should be open to criticism, including religion.<BR/><BR/>Leore.Leore_Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527380922964123540noreply@blogger.com
