Cause Pullman is a hedonistic tardface.

Most of the hatred towards this movie comes from either a misunderstanding of the novels, or a failure to read them in the first place. The characters do not seek to kill God. The characters seek to kill a false god; one that is in no way like or equivalent to the Christian God.
The other assumption, that the novels attack Christianity, is also misled. "His Dark Materials" is not a declaration against theism; it is a literary work like "1984", "Brave New World" or "V for Vendetta," speaking against corrupt and subversive governments.
If you want to boycott the movie because the books speak against injustice, then tear down the "95 Theses," burn the "Declaration of Independence" and lock Martin Luther King Jr. in jail with Ghandi.

We also need a Christian anime, one that tells the truth about everything we as Christians have to deal with everyday.
minakichan wrote:I think a Christian anime is definitely possible, although not necessarily probable. There are plenty of anime that do not have Japanese cultural elements in them at all, and some are adaptations of Western literature or whatever. Why not the Bible, or at least with a Christian concept? There are some anime that portray Christian characters positively, and no one gets offended or anything (thought they are usually nice, kind, tolerate old priests).

This however is not what Cephas was suggesting. He was suggesting an anime about a person in modern times, in real life, living as a Christian. This will pretty much never happen in Japan, for the reasons I stated.

Honestly, that is exactly the reason that I will be watching this movie and reading these books. As I see it, I should be ready and prepared to defend my beliefs. By watching and reading things that take a stand against my beliefs, it gives me a chance to think about the point brought up critically. I find that more often than not, the criticism has some truth in it, which in turn drives me to address whatever truth is contained therein.
Not something everyone enjoys, but it is certainly something that I enjoy doing.
I can't help but to comment on this. The Royal Canadian Air Farce makes it's living on making fun of everything. It sounds like you watched it quite a lot, but as soon as they slam you, they are jerks?
