It is marketed for children and in the end they kill God and everyone can do as they please.
It stars Nicole Kidman, which will help to make it seem mainline and OK.
However, it is written by Phillip Pullman, a proud atheist who hates Chritianity and wants to 'kill God' in the minds of children. The movie is a 'dumbed-down' version of the first book in a trilogy which themes get progressively darker and darker.

I wish you would read the books first or at least the
SparkNotes: His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass - don't forget to use the pull-down menu to read the next two books. I read the books long before I heard about the Christians having problems with this. I wasn't thinking of castration and female circumcision when I read about the part where the Gobblers separted the kids from their 'daemons'(animals that always hang out with the kids). I see the "daemon" more like the person's soul/personality. I see that the Gobblers are taking their souls away and turning the kids into something that isn't quite normal (as in fooling around with nature). Lyra and her friend Roger seems to be the good characters. One can't help but root for them.
I started reading Harry Potter after I heard about the Christians complaining about it. I don't see anything bad about it. What is wrong with love, friendship, and loyalty? It still is about good versus evil. The only problem for the Christians are witches/warlocks and witchcraft. If one believe in witchcraft, one has given power to witchcraft. For example, I don't believe that witches/warlocks have any real power to do anything so they can't use my fear against me.
I have read Narnia and found it to be full of violence especially at the last book of the series. The Bible also have some violence in it. And also sex (you ever read the Song of Solomon?)
Mods: I know we are not supposed to talk about religion and I agree. I just want to point out that the Christians shouldn't give so much power to the witchcrafty. Maybe it is me that see witchcrafty as fable. If my post causes any argument, my apologies ahead of time. People, no arguments please. :-) Thank you!
