Militant Atheist Philip Pullman is up to his old tricks again and is trying to discredit Christ and Christianity. For someone who doesn't believe in God he spends a lot of time and energy writing about Him. I don't believe in the tooth fairy but I don't go on about it, but Pullman spends a lot of time running down a God he says does not exist. The reality of course is that Pullman knows full well there is a God, he just hates him.
His own pronouncements bear this fact out. In an interview with the Washington Post in February 2001 he said 'I am trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief'. Speaking to a Daily Telegraph journalist he said 'If there is a God, and he is as the Christians describe him, the he deserves to be put down and rebelled against'. In a 2003 interview with the Sydney morning herald he said 'my books are about killing God.'
He's not joking either, his latest effort is called 'The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ'. In this book of sheer fantasy he claims that the Virgin Mary had twin sons, one called Jesus and the other called Christ, he alleges that Jesus was a good Son but the other one Christ was no good. Such a fairy tale has no basis in history and is just the imaginings of a wicked heart. 'The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?'.
The dangerous thing about this man is the fact that he is an acclaimed children's author with such works as 'The Golden Compass'(aka Northern Lights), 'The Subtle Knife' and the 'Amber spyglass'. These books are designed to sow the seeds of atheism in the impressionable minds of Children. Christian beware of this dangerous man and his dangerous material.
'The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.' Psalm 14 v1

What are your views on the best way to make fellow Christians aware that it is blasphemous to utter interjections as " For goodness sake, my goodness " etc., etc.

ReplyDeleteI agree that Pullman is a dangerous man. Not so much for his rubbish about Christ, for any honest person will recognise this propaganda when they see it - but because he has access to kids who might be impressed with his fantasy Dark Materials trilogy.
They are very well-written fairy stories; I really enjoyed reading them as such. But they give him a hearing for his plain-spoken atheism. Let's warn the kids of the need to separate fantasy fro fiction!
