Fox News Discussion on 'The Golden Compass'2. Comment #85682 by SmartLX on November 6, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Love the point where the host committed himself against Gaylor more than Morris would have dared. (Listen for the word "stupid"). That moment belongs in documentary montages of ill-informed, unprovoked rants as part of a picture of the antagonism we face.3. Comment #85687 by liberalartist on November 6, 2007 at 8:34 pm

Notice how fox news starts to sound like fired up redical, actually mainstream, muslims. Does The Golden Compass denigrate christianity?, he askes with a tone in the voice as if that was an abomination.6. Comment #85706 by JamesDB on November 6, 2007 at 10:39 pm

What's the american term? "Partisan hack"?11. Comment #85724 by JanChan on November 7, 2007 at 12:22 am
I can't stand for news reporters that don't do their research right. First he mixed up the Christopher Hitchens quote, then he gets the whole movie wrong, it's not promoting atheism, it's a satire on Catholicism.12. Comment #85727 by Philip1978 on November 7, 2007 at 12:38 am

It is strange how faithheads think that Atheism is another religion.

Surely the only required response is: Schools, kindergarten, colleges, national celebrations, sunday school, madrassas, church, christmas, yom kippur, ramadan, easter - one film written by an atheist is gonna turn children into free-thinkers?21. Comment #85754 by paulwwww on November 7, 2007 at 2:36 am
The whole commentary was quite a waste of time in my opinion. But I absolutely had to cringe when Ol'Father Jon said that the burden of truth in a God falls on the shoulders of the Atheist community. Evidently he needs to read over some of Sam Harris' work. The one thing for sure is the burden of truth for the existence of God, absolutely rests in those promoting the faith.22.

"Its teaching Atheism to 11 year olds", and whats the issue there, for starters Atheism isn't a dogma so pointing out the issues with belief is hardly "Teaching Atheism"....23. Comment #85759 by suffolkthinker on November 7, 2007 at 2:49 am
The curious thing about the His Dark Materials trilogy is that while it is oftne described as promoting atheism, the world described is clearly theistic in the sense that the "Authority" in it does exist. Of course that "Authority" is defeated and is obviously part of the Universe not spearate from it and the omnipotent controller of it as most religions preach. Sophisticated Theistic debaters ought to be able to use this to make a point, but of course they never do, being far too wrapped up in being offended about having their beliefs questioned or in complaining about having children "indoctrinated" by something other than their own world view.24.

Annie Laurie Gaylor was not prepared for an appearance on Fox news. Any atheist should know ahead of time that it is going to be a hit job. She was relatively slow in forming her words (a big no-no when you are being cut short on time already). She was also not able to make the sharpest comebacks. No surprise at the outcome.26.

I still don't know what point the priest was trying to make - that no one should make a movie that denigrates Catholics? If you think you'll be offended, don't see it. If you think it harms children, don't let your kids see it. I guess the segment was aired so Fox viewers would have a chance to get mad and self-righteous.32.

Loved the last sentence ' I also respect your belief....' yep just not enough to let you speak for 5 seconds without interupting or to listen to what you say.36. Comment #85850 by quill on November 7, 2007 at 10:21 am
I'm sorry, I have to agree. Annie Laurie Gaylor is just way out of here league to attempt to argue in this venue.

Freakin' amazing that folk would point the finger at Annie Laurie Gaylor. She's done more for rationalism than probably everyone here (save Mr. Dawkins himself) combined. This sort of in fighting utterly disgusts me.45. Comment #85925 by BigJohn on November 7, 2007 at 1:43 pm
