Where symbolism, intent, and entertainment meet

Posted by Corby  Published in Bible

Even if you just casually watch the news, especially the entertainment news, you have probably heard about the movie “The Golden Compass.” It made the news recently, not because it’s a sci-fi adventure with lots of great computer effects, but because it is supposed to be written by an atheist who want to lead kids [...]
