"The Golden Compass" attacks - more thought police and Nazi book burners?

The religious thought police are back on the streets, this time aping jackbooted Nazi book-burners. They are spreading lies about the Philip Pullman books and the new movie, 鈥淭he Golden Compass.鈥? And for the most part none of these little church robots has ever read any of the books or seen the film.

The stories themselves are magnificently imaginative, the writing of the books is superb. There is everything to recommend in the tales of love, self-sacrifice, triumph of good over evil, and much more 鈥?and of the empowerment of children.

鈥淭he Golden Compass鈥?as a film contains NOTHING controversial. Stupid thought police and proto-Nazis are completely wrong and won鈥檛 ever know it because THEY don鈥檛 think.

As for complaints that the book series promotes atheism 鈥?that is debatable. At what point do the religious thought police believe they can prevent people learning other ideas? Wouldn鈥檛 this instead be a great way to get into meaningful conversation with children?

I think most people on the street who are saying negative things about the Golden Compass have never read it--just like most people who spread false rumors about Harry Potter-eg my mother in law, who is very sweet but believes everything she hears--who had never read it but was absolutely sure that it was about the devil and evil witches and teaching children to worship the devil, because the preacher at her church, who had never read it either, said so.
