Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

I admire your doing, but would never have strenght to punish my son on that way.
But i think, those Pokemon cards are loosing popularity amongst kids,so we don't have to be afraid of them...

My strength is not mine alone, I have God guiding me. I have the fire, it is God who pushes me the last few inches.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

That was a stupid question.

No that was a brilliant question. You are just to stupid to recognize it.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

You mean Pokemon, or... God?

What about Santa? He doesn't exist either, yet to a child... he exists. Once a child learns that things they used to believe in don't actually exist, it because all the easier for them to think God does not exist.

God is only one person and there's more than one Pokemon...So what do you think (That was a stupid question.)
And like I said...I believed in Santa. Then when I turned nine, I found out that he didn't exist. IT DID NOT CHANGE MY VIEW OF GOD. I still know God exists.

So you think Christian parents should tell their children Santa does not exist? Maybe we should tell children that Santa was shot and is dead? Santa is a different way to spell "Satan".

When the time is right, yes, get your kid out of the fantasy world that Santa exists. The whole point of Santa is to make Christmas fun for the children. If your daughter/son are 14 years old, they should know already the purpose of Santa and should know that he doesn't exists anymore...He died at least a millennium or two ago but he did not exist during our living time frame. So a guy who years ago gave to presents to people is Satan...that's so moronic.




Not directly. That's the whole idea: they say it's OK to engage in "some" immoral behavior. Then the next step it: "hey, how about a little MORE immortal behavior" and so on.

The timeline is this:

- Pokemon
- not-so-violent video game
- violent video game
- pornography: watching naked people have sex
- buy a webcam to make naked pictures of self
- invite people over for casual sex
- turn hobby into profession: prostitution
- ...
- HELL!

Well my timeline is this:

-Yu-Gi-Oh
-Not violent video games
-NO PORNOGRAPHY
-still no violent video games
-Buys a webcam to chat with friends only
-Becomes a doctor
-(NO ONE knows if I'm going to Heaven or Hell or not)

you're waaayyy off buddy. You're time-line isn't me at all. You don't know everyone enough to say that your time-line is going to happen.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

First off- My parents taught me well.

No they didn't.

I'm still a virgin (even though I just got married

Sounds like a fun marriage. You hate kids so much you don't want to have them? That explains why you want to destroy their souls with Pokemon cards.

It is not up to you to tell someone that they're going to hell.

You clearly didn't read the Bible. You probably didn't even open it because your parents let you play with Pokemon cards.

Leviticus 19:15 "In righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour."

John 7:24 "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

SO ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION

No.

It doesn't matter if they do or not...THEY DON'T EXIST!!

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

You sound like a kid. A dumb brainwashed crazy kid. You parents obviously didn't care enough about you to keep you away from the bad stuff. Pitty. Both you and your parents will burn in hell for that.

First off- My parents taught me well. I'm not on drugs, I'm not killng people, and I'm still a virgin (even though I just got married). I don't think God will see them doing wrong at all...


Secondly-
I know that you are a Christian and you love God with all of your heart...But you need to leave God's work to God. It is not up to you to tell someone that they're going to hell. God doesn't need you to fight his battles. So what if the Bible says that this and that is a sin, God will tell us if we're going to Hell or not.

SO ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION (PERTAINING TO THE SECOND STATEMENT...

If God were to be fighting a war and He was alone, would you pick up a sword and fight with Him?

Of course they do. Didn't you read the first posting?

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

1. Do any of these creatures mention God or pray to God?

It doesn't matter if they do or not...THEY DON'T EXIST!!

2. It's a gateway to considering God imaginary as well

But if you're wise enough to tell your kid what's real and what's not real, it doesn't lead them to think that He is imaginary at all. When I found out Santa wasn't real when i was 9, i didn't stop believing in Jesus or God any less.

3. Can children read the Bible while doing their "thing" with Pokemon?

Yes, they can. Not simultaneously, but they can indeed. Playing with your friends is what makes being a kid worthwhile. They can hang with friends and still have a relationship with God.

4. If a child dies in an accident, do you think the child will go to Heaven because it has "cool" Pokemon cards? No.

If they are indeed Christian children, they will go to Heaven...A card game doesn't determine the life a child is going to live at all...

Exactemundo. Once they get used to Pokemon, they will move to on things that are much worse like video games. They build up the evil inside them until some day is POPs. Even the Devil did not grow horns in 1 day.

Card games do not cause this...

How is a game with creatures that children know are imaginary going to steer them away from God?

Kids are not going to continue playing this game forever. Around 5th grade, kids have better things to do, and more for YOU to worry about.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

Hates children. Why else would you not want to steer them onto the right path towards salvation?
It's been explained here how their souls are imperiled by this game. That makes you a liar if you tell them it's okay to play it.
The whole thing together means you don't want the children to come to God, that means you must hate Him for some inexplicable reason.
You sicken me.

But no...You're going to waste your time worrying about a trading card game that they won't play EVER again past elementary school, instead of worrying about the more serious things that are happening with your child. You sound really stupid...It's just a game...And i would be mad to if you threw my cards in the trash...Thats not necessary...

You, lady, are crazy...How do I hate children I'm letting them act like children as apart of their own natural right?

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

The only way a card game can literally hurt someone physically is paper cut. Drugs can actually kill someone. Your argument is totally irrelevant.

They destroy a kids soul. So the kid will burn in hell for all eternity. Seems like enough reason for me to ban them.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

First off, I didn't say I was a God-hating liar who hates children, did I? NO!
So shut your trap because you know nothing about me and who I am. I love God and children (that's why I said children should be free to live life like children should...DUH!!)

Show some respect! Let's take a look at your first post again, shall we?

None of this makes sense. Let kids be kids and let them live their lives. A little card game isn't going to automatically make them hell-bound.

Re: Help me BAN Pokemon !

Oh sure, and why not give them a little marijuana? Just a bit won't hurt, right? Then maybe some cocaine? It's all in good fun! Maybe then they can have some cyanide? It's just kids being kids! A little won't hurt, right?
