That’s right, it’s been a while since Christians have had something really demonic to boycott. I mean, sure, the final Harry Potter book was released this summer, but let’s face it: boycotting Harry Potter is soooo five years ago. He’s a wizard. He’s evil. Booorrriinnngg. We need something new, exciting and chic to boycott. Thankfully, those sinners out in Hollywood are always thinking of ways to undermine morality and offend good people everywhere. Enter: “The Golden Compass”.

Now, I’ve never seen this movie, but they tell me it’s based off a book, which I’m sure is just as evil as the people on Christian Television are telling me that the movie is. The author of the book is apparently an atheist, and somewhat anti-Christian, so I’m sure that his book, and subsequent movie, reflect those points of view. The problem isn’t that this gentlemen wrote an anti-Christian book, but its that Christians expected him not to. Why do we expect people who don’t share our belief system to pretend like they do? If the people in Tinsletown don’t make movies like “The Golden Compass”, but are still atheists, does that make God feel better? Is God less grieved over their being anti-Christian because they don’t say so openly? I just don’t get it. It’s the world. It’s called “the world” because it’s not Christian. Get over it.

Ok, one last part of my soapbox. The show that I was watching spent much of its time complaining that the movie was aimed at children. Instead of simply asking Christian parents not to take their children to see this movie, they were contacting theatre owners and asking them not to show the movie at all. Whatever happened to parental involvement? If you are a parent and you don’t want your kids to see the movie, don’t take them to see the movie. Or, maybe you can take them to see the movie and actually discuss the topics of atheism (if it even brings any up), instead of trying to hide from them. Just my two cents.

Rant.

Offically.

Over….or is it….
