Candy-coated Atheism

This is how Christians describes the new movie, The Golden Compass. The devil has always a way to advocate the non-existence of God and this is practically one of his best ways. The film did earned praises from reviews and indeed, it does have great CG animations. If you would go see the movie, it would definitely make you say "wow" over and over. Just like Harry Potter, it was also a movie at it's best but what? It teaches us that witchcraft is good and many turned out wanting to be a witch!

So what is the price to pay for all these? Imagine, the three-part story of this new movie ends in an epic battle in which God dies! Those children who would see the film would implant into their minds that God can die! Author Phillip Pullman denies that he is promoting atheism. He said in an interview that "he is just a story teller". He might be right in a way -- he just doesn't know. Sometimes, we are not aware that the devil is using us for his schemes -- that is if we don't know God's ways. It is important for us to know what is light to determine what is darkness.

We, Christians should guard our faith. The campaign to boycott the film doesn't stop millions from seeing the movie. The only way for us not to be deceived is to read God's Word, know His ways and share God's love to others.
