I read Golden Compass and loved it. I sensed a little anti-Christian bias, but never thought much of it since there's a lot of anti-Christian bias about nowadays.

I then read Subtle Knife. Oh my...did I get blasted with some anti-Christian garbage. But, I suffered through it to the end. The book left a terrible taste in my mouth.

I discussed this on Free Republic and heard from various posters that the third book, Amber Spyglass, was FAR worse. I chose not to even attempt it as I don't need to read nor support that kind of nonsense.

It is very obvious that Pullman intentionally wrote a trilogy of young adult novels specifically designed to pull the reader in and increasingly work to pry the reader away from his/her Christian beliefs. The payoff in the final novel is that God revealed to be a weak creature and he can be killed.

After reading the first novel, I had few reservations about recommending it for my children to read. But, having read the second one and learned of the contents of the third, I threw the books away and I've warned several fellow Christians about the trilogy and its nefarious intent.

I'm concerned that while the upcoming major movie of the first novel will strip a lot of the anti-Christian content out, that it will still draw adults and children in to read the trilogy. I know that the trailers for the first film are what caused me to seek out the trilogy and start reading in the first place.

I’m praying for better discernment as a parent. The trailer didn’t phase me and it looked really great. That’s quite scary now that I know the rest of the story. When I watched the trailer again, I saw many red flags and was shocked that they passed me by the first time around.

The father of deception is making headway on this one. I can’t believe I was blinded to it at first.

I’ve read the first five pages of the Golden Compass.

I knew it was Satanic as soon as I read the FIRST sentence!!!

It talks about “Lyra and her daemon”!!!!!!!

How much more anti-Christian can you get than that???
