From one of their more enlightened readers:

To Kevin Williamson

RE 'All joking aside' (ENT, Jan. 6, year in preview in movies): In the Jan. 6 issue of ENT, you wrote that the "collapse of The Golden Compass indicates fantasy-film fatigue". I would suggest that it is nothing of the kind. The fact is, moviegoers are not interested in "fantasy" films, which portray organized religion as the "bad guy." In this case, Christ Our Lord would also be the "bad guy" for setting up organized religion for the ordered return of souls to God. I write this letter not only to tell you of these things, but also to gloat over the future success of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This movie will completely crush The Golden Compass and other atheist-inspired garbage. Because people in the West want to see "good" movies inspired by the writings of Christians such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, not atheistic garbage such as The Golden Compass.

What all can one say?


1)Check out the Harry Potter franchise, beeatch! I guess Paganism beats xianity then, eh?

2)If you want to see a movie that portrays the church as the bad guy, maybe one could be made involving the sexual abuse cases in the Catholic Church, as well as all the other fun things they did in the past (inquisition, witch burnings, crusades, etc) only unlike "Golden Compass" it would NOT be able to be a kids movie. Still want to complain Mike, you bigoted, self-righteous, ignorant idiot?

3) (I've ran out of steam here, insert your own).


I'm considering writing a reply to that prick.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

3) Neither the Golden Compass movie or book are actually "atheistic" (although the author is an atheist), since "god" exists as a character. Being anti-established religion does not equal "atheistic."

Not that it had great commercial success (at least compared to H Potter), but Magdalene Sisters might fit the bill. Well worth a look.
