Horrible. And a good sign of the end age. How much easier would it be for the Anti-Christ to rule over the earth with a generation brainwashed in this way? It's all propaganda, and it's setting things up for the Anti-Christ to rule. DON'T let your kids anywhere near this movie. Especially when they're under the age of 7, which is the age when they're still developing their habits and how they conduct themselves. Whether you'd like to believe it or not, they're extremely maleable at that age. You do everything in your power to keep their influences good and the like. This is something that shouldn't be tolerated. I'm seeing more and more signs that we ARE living in the end age. We need to take this seriously, this isn't a game. Don't even as much as tolerate the unacceptable, that's extremely dangerous ground. Don't compromise.

hmm... i'll probably go against the grain and say i do plan to see this movie.

i don't usually like taking someone else's word for things of this nature it very well may be true that the author has an agenda but this does sound like the Harry Potter & Da Vinci Code crazes that went through the church. and in both instances, once i actually looked into them myself, i realized it wasn't any where near as horrible as i was being told. And, having actually looked into these things myself i was armed to actually discuss them with whoever i needed to.

I know on the authors website he is quite open about his animosity towards organised religion so i will admit there is likely truth to this but unless i do my own research all i can ever know about it is what i read online from someone i never met and all i have to refute the movie on, should the need arise, is hearsay and thats not usually that persuasive sooo.. yeah i do plan on seeing the movie and i probably will be reading the books as well.

The real danger is not the movie.

The real danger is that once children see the movie, they will want the books.
Parents will unsuspectingly buy the trilogy for their children,
not knowing that in the 3rd book, the children kill God.
