An interesting religious debate

New movie out with Nicole Kidman called “The Golden Compass” has raised an interesting debate:

Why is it that the Christian right can have all of there movies with their Christian overtones, but when a movie comes out that even remotely promotes athiesim everyone gets their underpants in a bunch.

I’m sick and tired of the whopping double-standard that is so pervasive in this country.  We believe in freedom of speech but only to a point.

Christianity (in all it’s forms, Evangelicals Christianity, Catholicism , Islam, Judiasim) has run it’s course.  It’s sad when no-one can see that they are all different flavors of the same poison.  Christianity holds back human development.  It saps us of free will, responsibility, and the ability to think for ourselves.

Congratulations to Philip Pullman for his daring foray into truth for the sake of truth, and for getting his day on the big screen.
