“It’s the most seductive, diabolical thing I’ve ever seen.  And the worst part about this:  it’s aimed squarely at children.

Dec. 7th, a new $150 million movie debuts starring Nicole Kidman, who says she’s a Catholic.  The movie is based on the first book of a trilogy called His Dark Materials by the militant atheist and children’s author, Philip Pullman.

Ten reasons to work against this film:

1.  Pullman completely flip-flops good and evil.  His alluring trilogy makes evil seem tood and good seem evil. Yes, masked with confusion, paradox

2.  Pullman presents demons as cool and neat.  Each demon is in the form of an animal; they’re like talking pets. How attractive..

3.  Children without demons are unhappy, misable and pathetic.

4.  Movie’s website shows children step-by-step how to “meet your demon”!

5. What the nun said as she threw her crucifix into the sea and embraced the sin of fornication without guilt or regret.  Humm, pretty damning

6.  How a child discovered tha he did, in fact, have his own personal demon, which he considered his friend and life-long companion - sad.

7.  How a 12-year-old temptress seduces her 13-year-old boyfriend in a way the blasphemes the Virgin Mary.

8.  A nightmarish picture of the final rebellion when the demons triumph over God and Christianity.

9.  In this movie, God and the forces of good are portrayed as nothing but a phony - even more laughable than the “man behind the curtain” in the Wizard of Oz

10.  Pullman glamorizes a moral system that could be summed up as: “If it feels good, do it!”  No, let’s not go back to the ’60s.

Kids will get Demon action-figures in their hamburger meals!

Pullman has won every imagnable literary award for children’s literature - more awards than J.K. Rowling.  His books are huge sellers in England.  I shudder to think how many children will actually begin playing with demons as a result of Pullman.  Make no mistake.  Demons are real. 

Pullman aims his poisoned pen at nuns.  A nun starts flirting with a man she met at a conference. As PUllman writes, “She felt her body aching for this man.  She thought to herself, ‘Will anyone bet better off if I go back to the hotel and say my prayers and confess to the priest and promise never to fall into temptation again?’

Action-figures with your burger dear?  Yes, forty corporations have licensed the little toys, games, and gizmos. 

What’s the Big Deal?  It’s only fiction. It can’t hurt anybody”

Well, you’re half-right - it’s fiction.  Uncle Tom’s Cabin was only a work of fiction, right?  Yet it turned America uside down - for the GOOD purose and effect.  Uncle Tom’s Cabin gives weight to the adage “the pen is mightier than the sword.”

Few forces on earth are more powerful than words.  In the hands of a skillful author like C.S. Lewis, words can promote virtue and faith.  In the hands of a skillful author like Philip Pullman, words can promote vice and atheism. 

Pullman HATES C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.  He says, “I hate them with a deep and bitter passion.”  He calls Narnia “one of the most poisonous things” he’s ever read.

You see, I have to give the devil his due.  Pullman is a much better writer than J.K. Rowling.  And that’s why I think he’s even more dangerous.

Last month Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling announced to children worlwide that the beloved, grandfatherly character Dumbledore is “gay.”  As one Harry Potter fan said, “My head was spinning.  Wow! One more reason to love gay men.”  And homosexual activists hail Rowling’s announcement as a giant step forward for “gay rights.”

Four years ago, I warned Catholic parents to stay far away from Harry Potter  because it glamorizes occult practices.

Four years ago, in my radio broadcast of Set. 18, 2004, I predicted this (Pullman’s His Dark Materials book made to a movie) would happen.  I warned that Pullman’s trilogy books would be the next big craze after Harry Potter to lure children into the world of demons.  

The movie will hit America’s shores with Tsunami-like force on Dec. 7th, 2007.  (end)
