    Devil books!

    Dear goodly Christians, I have noticed a terrible thing. Recently I have been staying near an old friend with an 18 year old son, graduating from high school in a week. We have all spent much time together, and I thought the boy was doing quite well. My friend has brought up their son to be an avid reader, but lately his literature choices have had me worried. I have seen him with works by a man (possibly gay?) named Philip K. Dick; a book called "A Scanner Darkly," that describs the joys of drug use, and another called "Ubik" (by the same author), which dares tell the reader of an afterlife existing in one's own head, with no mention of God as an authoritative figure.

    I have also seen him reading a book called "Redwall," which dares use Biblical figures' names for an unholy abomination of human crossed with various rodents and vermin. Please take note that these are the most recent examples, and he could very well be reading even more disgusting material. How could I convince him and his mother what he is reading is unholy, and what books should I make him read? Please help!

    I suggest picking up your Bible and reading it to your friend. You may even want to use a bullhorn.
    1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

    Explain to her why it is wrong for people to read disgusting trash. Just because we have the First Amendment, doesn't mean it's okay in the eyes of God.

    1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

    1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

    Riley, do we really have to tell you the answer to that?
    Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

      I have already gifted him a copy of one of my many spare Bibles, but I am trying to appeal to the more scholarly side of him. Surely such an avid reader as him would not be content with a single book, even if it is the only book worth touching?

        Philip K. Dick? That name sounds so familiar. I might've burnt some of his books before at a church bonfire, to be honest. I think he wrote some book called Do Androids Sleep with Electric Sheep? or something to that effect. They turned it into that movie Blade Runner which is about human beings having sex with robots. Truly disgusting, heinous, abominable filth.

          And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

            I am indeed sorry if I have given you all a wrong idea of why I am here; I do not wish to cause trouble, I am merely concerned about the mental and spiritual health of my friend's son.

              Then your friend should be discussing the issue with his local pastor, and you shouldn't be giving publicity to these demonic books.

                That is a problem, though! I do not believe this child attends church! I do not wish to lose a long-time friend by causing trouble with this young man, but I am hoping I can help him see the truth regardless.
