pointing in the right direction

The Chronicles of Narnia continues with Prince Caspian coming to theaters May 16, 2008. The movie trailer was just released this week.

I know it's 5+ months away, but Walden Media's adaptation of CS Lewis's classic story is important to promote in contrast to all the hype this week regarding another "children's story" The Golden Compass movie (based on book trilogy written by professed atheist Pullman).

Both Narnia and Compass stories include main characters of children and talking animals. However, the ideology is very different. CS Lewis painted a picture of moral absolutes and clear Christian allegory within a fantastic children's adventure. Pullman's His Dark Materials Compass points in the wrong direction, slowly removing moral absolutes, vilifying the church and eventually killing God in the end. The new movie will sanitize much of the religious overtones, but the books tell the real ideological bankruptcy of Pullman's atheistic worldview. And it's the marketing of these books to kids that is the real crime. Parents beware.
