Right........ And the Easter bunny is real.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

This video is important to watch because it shows why POKEMON is really a danger to your children:
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Oh, I remember Pokémon. I used to play the video game on my Game Boy Colour when I was like 6. My brother was deeply obsessed with it thoug. Always watching it, buying cards and dueling with his buddies. I used to sit patiently and watch. I played my fare share of Pokemon, but I grew out of it quickly. There's nothing wrong with Pokemon. It's YU-Gi-Oh I worry about.

Being an avid pokefan, I stumbled across this while I was searching for relevant information on the series. I read some of this thread and listened to what people had to say. I tried to contemplate your side but, unfortunately, you have all given me high blood pressure. I haven't raged this hard in a long time... congratulations.

Define "diabolical." There are many things worse for children than cute little creatures that battle and make innocent sounds or just say their own name as it is in the cartoon. This certainly seems oddly out of proportion to the world. Besides, if it is that destructive, how about the parents do some parenting instead of giving in? In that regard, I would have to agree, even if I will disagree with everything else you say.

This is a testament to very, very bad parenting. This has absolutely nothing to do with a video game. I find it rather contemptible to blame an inanimate object for the shortcomings of someone's lack of parenting skills.
Quote:
Who are the strange little creatures from Japan that have suddenly become global super-stars? Most kids know the answer well: They are called Pokemon (short for POCKEt MONster and pronounced Pokeymon), and they have stirred up some mixed reactions.
|
So it's just Pokemon that are "evil"? Well, what about the others that roll in a similar light as Pokemon does. There are many, many franchises that try to use a similar premise as Pokemon... ever heard of Digimon? Monster Rancher? Ten bucks says neither of those crossed your minds. It would appear to me that you're not anti-Pokemon, just anti-fad and anti-fun.
Quote:
We have since been told that they are stepping stones to the 'Magic cards' that have been popular for the last few years, which we do not allow.

MTG is little more than a trading/collectible card game. If you find something blasphemous in a card game, then all hope really is lost. It's disturbing, to say the least, that a CARD GAME is in your top 20 list of "very evil things."
Quote:
Each can transport the child into a fantasy world that eventually seems far more normal and exciting than the real world. Here, evil looks good and good is dismissed as boring. Family, relationships, and responsibilities diminish in the wake of the social and media pressures to master the powers unleashed by the massive global entertainment industry.
|
The entire point of video games is to be transported into another realm, apart from reality. That's why I play video games in the first place! However, I will assume by the lack of information present that none of you has ever played a pokemon game once. There is still plenty of good vs evil present and you always side as the 'good.' Most is still neutral, I'll agree but there is still Team Rocket/Galactic/Magma/Aqua. They're the bad guys and you always have to stop their badness. With Gold/Silver and onwards, you forge friendships with people you meet along the way and the player's mom is always sending stuff and calling. Yeah... I didn't think anyone here had a clue. The one thing everyone misses, and this is huge and very important so pay attention. NONE OF THIS IS REAL. IT IS ALL FICTION. IT WILL NEVER BE REAL. It is what we in the enlightened world call "fantasy." It's the opposite of reality and you patronize children by saying they're falling into a trap. Kids are smarter than that. This is just ridiculous.

I can tell you what Diabolical is NOT defined as: It does NOT mean "something else is even worse". Their are worse things, and there are bad things, and they are BOTH diabolical.

Lol religious fear mongering bigots, get off of the internet while you can, before you feel the wrath that is the internet reign down on your so called religion and its biased views.
You follow a god that doesn't even care about you or your followers, if pokemon is a threat to families, god is a threat to your own religious views as back when I was one who studied religion I was taught that god was not one to pass judgment based on hobbies, but passes judgment based on whether or not you accepted god into your life.
You sir are the one that will be going to hell for spreading such bigotry and putting words into the mouth of god.
You religious folk are all the same, you talk down on everyone but yourselves, yet you know nothing of the world, how sheltered you guys really are. It's just a game, A GAME. I bet more than half of you back in the 80s played Dungeons & Dragons, and played Magic the Gathering before becoming the radical baptist bigots you are today. Seriously you wonder why the world is falling into disarray, its because religion is taken too seriously, especially when it comes to Christianity. You kill and you persecute based on other peoples beliefs, orientation, hobbies, etc..
You deem things you do not understand Immoral, and keep a closed mind to the world around you. Instead of spreading this fear why don't you change yourselves first then help others.
I leave you guys with a link that should help you all get on path to fixing your religion.

No! Not the internet. Anything but that! Gosh, I'm sorry we seem biased toward the Bible on a Christian forum.

You have it all wrong. We aren't putting the words into God's mouth at all. He put the Word into ours. Our teachings come straight from the Bible.
You should try reading it some time.

Listen kid. You're going to feel really stupid about writing this tirade someday when you realize we were right all along.
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.

You know this is exactly what I was talking about, when I called you guys fear mongers and bigots.
You're in denial when you say that god put the words in your mouth, I have read through this thread, and have seen that it was stated that a child will go to hell because they play pokemon, watch the show, or collect the playing cards. By saying that god will damn children, and anyone else who plays this game, is essentially the same as putting words into his mouth. This is a very closed minded way of thinking, if you actually played the game you would realize that it is not that different from the basic premise of religion, Good against evil.
That remark about the world falling into disarray and me confusing you guys with "moonslimes" I am assuming you a referencing the Muslims? if you were, then wow, just wow is all I have to say. Who are you to pass judgment on them? And here I thought we were in a world of acceptance.
From the way you are talking, its highly apparent that you all have a lot of changing to do.
You call me stupid for not agreeing with this unjust theory that people will go to hell for playing video games? So be it, I am stupid, but because I am stupid then the millions of christian teens who are sheltered, who go out into the real world, and suffer culture shock, they become alcoholics and drug addicts because they didn't play a game for children, and raised as closed minded as possible. They are the truly intelligent ones then, and I am nothing but a stupid ignorant fool for being raised in an open-minded way.
Good day, and god bless.

ok, look people, I have grown up all my life with these things and I have not and I have no plan to become satanist goth blood drinking demon. I think i turned out perfectly fine. I don't get into trouble, i have good grades and I have not turned out to be the spawn of the devil. Poke-mon is not trying to make kids into Satanists. It is simply a company trying to make a profit for a company. I am sure the kids who play with poke-mon cards are going to turn out just fine. So don't worry about it.

I have no idea why I am replying to any of this crap but I had a feeling that I should. Nothing that I say here will change your minds but you seem to be blind to that fact that you are misconstruing what is being said in the Bible. You read it and shape it into something that YOU think it means. The bible is like an old English story and has a different meaning to every person who reads it. I am also fairly sure that you believe that a hell exist. Although I assure you that hell does not exist. If you believe it does I would like you to show me where in the bible hell is talked about. You have nothing to do with your time but find popular things and find a way to make it "satanic".
Just because this smilie is extremely weird I have to use it.
On a Baptist forum you have a smilie that freely shows the killing of a person.

I must have missed that. Could you please point out where we did that?

1. Can you name one event described in the Bible that actually happens in England?
2. Where does the Bible says that it means different things to different persons? What a ridiculous suggestion. Then what does "thou shalt not kill" mean to you? Or this:
Leviticus 20:13:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
What could this possibly mean, other then that homosexuals ought to be killed?

I gladly refer you to a thread, where a hellbound fluffy-bunny false christian tried to maintain the position that the Bible does not teach that there is eternal punishment. I've thoroughly destroyed his arguments. Come back on this when you have read that thread:

Yeah. So what?
Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)
Scatter their broken bodies over the streets of their evil cities, like Benghazi, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Mecca! (Psalm 110:6)
Praised be Your Glorious Name™.
Amen.
