Narnia remake, or satan worship?

I’ve been noticing that a lot of movies have been coming out lately that really resemble the Narnia series. The Spiderwick Chronicles. Bridge to Terabithia. The Golden Compass. The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. Besides a little magic, some of them seem pretty innocent. Others, such as Golden Compass, sound like devil worship. Now if you watched the trailer for the Golden Compass you probably think I’ve gone off my rocker. I mean come on, sure it has a little magic, but it’s pretty much an innocent movie right? Well read this quote from Philip Pullman, author of the book series that this movie was based on.

"if there is a God, and he is as the Christians describe him, then he deserves to be put down and rebelled against. As you look back over the history of the Christian church, it's a record of terrible infamy and cruelty and persecution and tyranny. How they have the bloody nerve to go on Thought for the Day and tell us all to be good when, given the slightest chance, they'd be hanging the rest of us and flogging the homosexuals and persecuting the witches."


There are many parallels between Golden Compass and Narnia. Talking animals. A big scene having to do with a wardrobe. A figure that represents God. However while the God figure in Narnia is a loving, yet mighty character who is willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice to save his often disobedient children, the God presented in the Golden Compass is a tyrant who “needs” to be rebelled against. For writing a book that resembles Narnia in many ways, Pullman says that

I hate the Narnia books, and I hate them with a deep and bitter passion… with their view of childhood as a golden age from which sexuality and adulthood are a
falling-away.


Plugged in, a ministry of Focus on the family, describes the book series as…

…a series of fantasy novels aimed at children that loosely draws inspiration from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. This time around, however, "God" gets overthrown and the "Fall" becomes the source of humankind's redemption, not failure.
So what makes the movie seem almost demonic to me? Because witches as presented as the good guys, and every person in the movie has a soul in the form of an animal called a dæmon [pronounced demon]

I find it incredibly scary how innocently this movie is presented. By watching the trailer you would guess that this is just a narnia remake.

If you’re interested in watching the trailer here’s a youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj61Q5KPues&feature=related

Adriane's song [second try]

An explanation

Ok so Mike’s and Mr. Sutherland’s songs were pathetic. Hay there aren’t a lot of me/dad songs out there are there was nothing good enough for Mikey, so I had to settle for the next best thing – Rascal Flats.

No, I did not forget Chris, but you’ll have to follow the link to get to his song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEPe4fZNf74

Adriane’s song is hopefully self explanatory

Yes Nicole and Dillon, your songs were meant to be a slam. [be happy I haven’t apologized about it… yet]

Mrs. Sutherlands song was just supposed to honoring of her job as a mother. It was better than the second chose for your song. That was the theme song to desperate house wives.

If you listened to all these Nicole I would be very impressed. I mean that would be 7 COUNTRY songs














Ps. Sorry about the slam Nicole and Dylan

Barack Obama on Saturday Night Live

I don't like Obama, but it makes fun of Hillary and the other Democrats.
