The Golden Compass - anti-Christian?

CBN News has on their website a story about the new film from New Line Cinema which stars Daniel Craig, Nicole Kidman and Dakota Blue Richards, The Golden Compass.

Now, being a Christian broadcaster, they have some very surprisingly un-Christian things to say about a movie and the book it was based on, describing it as a atheist, anti-christian film. Some of their contributors go further, by calling it part of a decietful stealth campaign to bash Christianity and promote athiesm.

But when you see on a daily basis just how much harm religion has done in the world, in areas like Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine, isn't it really the case that religion of all kinds have done little to help themselves and their causes over the years by the fact that there are many religions, rather than a single one. Religion is supposed to be a unifying force. Instead, it has become just another thing that divides us. And these people are complaining about a movie? I really think they need to get their priorities straight.

US Religious Ministries under investigation

CBN News is reporting that six major televangelist ministries are under investigation for "...possible misuse of donations...".

The 'ministers' involved are... Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Randy & Paula White, Creflo Dollar and Eddie L Long.

This is important. These ministries don't just air their programming in the US, but also in the UK and Ireland, via various outlets including CNBC Europe. Perhaps we should have regulation governing these ministries in the UK media. Do televangelists have a place, not just in our media in the UK, but in ANY media? I'm not sure they do.
