Only if Religion were begot from the face of the earth then the true essence of this planet and it's kingdoms shine like it should. Religion and fantasy are one and the same represented by a coin and by the same forces who create both. There are truths hidden deep within and there are false things painted big like the sun on a midday summer day.
Are we not in a dream world where the ream ends when we subject the body to sleep?
Life is not what it seems to be. The falsities of life are everywhere.
Where theres fantasists there you will find war mongering religionists. You could never find the common ground of harmony and peace in between.
Step back and view your world from a different angle, there you will see that all is not what it seems to be.
Peace is but a thought away. Try it it is powerful and real. Let your thoughts create your tomorrow.

When such films get in to the market rather than find fault in Christian faith offer a helping hand in spreading the Gospel. think of split in the eary church it facilitated a wider coverage of the same, promoting curosity to that religion thus populorising it even to far of people who didn't have the slittest qure of the trueth. emptiness due to caramity or sort of problems compells human beings to seek or think of how and when can a suppernatural power or force help them out of pain troubling them theirfore though straineous the film in a way will bring many to their creater

I have read the books. They are imaginative,colourful and a darn good read - and that is all. Like Dan Brown (and his forgotten Da Vinci Code,) Phillip Pullman is just a story teller. If his books were true they would be non-fiction and why does he think he is the first to 'suss' it all out anyway! Books like these and the infamous 'God Delusion' (which I have read) will all end up in car boot sales and charity shops, read or unread - whatever - then there will be the next 'sensation' I will see the 'The Golden Compass' because I love fantasy films including, and especially Harry Potter, but my Christian faith is unshakable and always will be, because it is the Truth.
