Movie - The Golden Compass... allowing for the idea of NO GOD

[Guest guest]

I was driving out of the Adirondacks months ago and I heard this on a

local NPR affiliate. I hope it broadens this discussion, or at least

prompts some further thought and inquiry.

"Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by

kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more

thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around."

I have no idea what it means to "kill God in the minds of children" but I know that extremism and intolerance are more dangerous to the minds of children than a movie based on a well respected series for children. My kids never took to the series - we have one or two on a bookshelf somewhere. But several of their teachers highly recommended The Golden Compass, et al, and I look forward to seeing the movie! (It looks good, doesn't it?) And I'll be sure to bring my kids!

In love and light,
