Answer 2

the author of The Golden Compass is an atheist. the story is that he became uninterested in all the attention given to the Chronicles of Narnia, that is in accordance with myths and ideology of Christianity. He wrote an identical tale, with the objective of exhibiting the unfavourable fringe of religion. They stored between the main important matters from the books out of the action picture to circumvent countless controversy. The topic became that area of the seek is to break God. From the viewpoint of the author, this skill destroying the negatives at the back of faith. think of of it as interior the rest room Lennon music "think of." the author desires to do away with the suggestions of heaven and hell because of the fact he feels they don't seem to be genuine and the assumption of heaven and God could reason countless harm.

Answer 3

Wrong in what way?

Are you perchance suggesting Pascal's Wager?

Christians sometimes proffer Pascal’s Wager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager ) suggesting to non-believers that they should accept Jesus (per John 3:16) as some sort of insurance policy against hell, just in case it turns out god really exists. The fallacy with this line of reasoning is that faith in god for some reward or to avoid punishment is no faith at all. It is a selfish act to receive something in return for a belief. The whole point of religious belief is so that one can become a better person or achive spiritual enlightenment, not to receive a reward or please a spiritual being.

Answer 4

Wrong about what?

Guess what, people are wrong all the time, know why? Because we're human and we make mistakes.

Second of all, it's a movie...who cares if you're wrong about a movie?

Third of all...it's a realllly good movie! lol

So I don't know what your question actually is or what there is to be right or wrong about, but you should totally see the movie, it's really beautiful.

Answer 5

It is not possible that I am wrong.

Armoured sentient polar bears are inherently awesome. It's like, a law of the universe or something.

There is nothing that can change the fact that they are awesome.

Having Magneto and Al Swearengin as the voices of the sentient armoured polar bears just makes them awesomier.

Answer 6

*drink*

Thanks for the excuse to drink. Golden Compass questions must be drinking questions by now.

Answer 7

What, that its a fictional story?

Sorry man but if your religious foundation is so unsturdy that one movie written by someone of a faith not your own causes you such distress... then maybe you should re-examine your faith. All this story is saying is that you should critically examine the world and not leave it to others to tell you what to think. Simple as that... in fact, it actually implies a spiritual world... I don't get the offense.

Answer 8

Barkeep! Make it a double!

Can you work evolution, athiests (sic) in the R&S section and the difference between Catholic and Christians all into one question? We'll call it a triple play.

Answer 9

It's just a movie. I haven't seen it. I have no plans to see it. I can't even tell you what it's about so I'm not worried about.
