That's what my brother and sister say about the military, too. I was just trying to point out to Aquinasfan that nearly every American institution has rituals and traditions, hell nearly everybody has their own rituals and routines. It's not necessarily satanic to have rituals.
You of course then would not object to anyone making sweeping generalizations about residents of FLorida, correct?
They totally brought that on themselves,
...certainly attracted to it by its very illegality.
What adolescent isn't attracted to things that are illegal or forbidden? Heaven knows I was.
Great post, Aquinasfan, but I'm afraid it won't convince the Potter groupies here who don't have spiritual discernment.
Who are you to say that we don't have spiritual discernment simply because we don't believe a a book about a kid fighting an evil wizard is neither satanic nor a way to brainwash children into joining covens?
I cried after book 5...
That's nothing to be ashamed of, JenB. I cried, my mom cried, my aunt and uncle cried, five of my adult cousins, all my kid family members, and my elderly grandmother. I corrupted my entire family from the ages of four to eighty-two. The great accomplishment of my life, thus far.
Yup, because we all don't pray like you do, or follow your brand of religion, it's hell time for us.
Don't you love people who claim to be Christian, God fearing folk, and then condemn others for not fully agreeing with them?
The name W.I.T.C.H. is comprised of the first initials of the five girls who are "ordinary friends with an extraordinary secret – they each have the power to control a natural element." Said the Disney statement: "Will controls energy, Irma commands water, Taranee has power over fire, Cornelia controls earth, and Hay Lin dominates air. The girls use their powers to guard against evil and to uncover the truth behind mysterious portals leading to other worlds."
Remember the cartoon Captain Planet(early 90s)? It had the same basis, kids controlling a natural element, and nobody nutted up over that.
Is there ANYTHING I like that won't send me straight to Hell in your eyes? ;->
Doubtful :)
Does everyone that drinks a beer or smokes marijuana go onto harder drugs? No, but how many people do you know that started out with the hard stuff. Drinking whiskey or using heroin? Few (if any).
For the hard stuff comment: My first time drinking it was off of whiskey, and to this day I do drink occasionally. It's not about what you try- it's about how careful and responsible you are when you try it, in my opinion.
I should be banished for that.
You are OUT OF HERE, wench. You are so out of here, you're into next week already.
After all, if they are not spiritually aware enough to see the evil in the Potter series, how can anyone expect them to tell the difference between a Spirit-filled preacher and a False Prophet?
It's so amusing to see "Christians" condemn others for not agreeing with them. I believe you could easily be called a hypocrite, sir, for who are you to judge our spiritual awareness? Certainly not God, and it's His judgement that matters, isn't it?
Xenalyte (They call me Tater Salad.)
Just wanted to say I love your tagline- I like anyone that knows about Ron White.
<--------Hangs head in shame.
Can i come back if I see it before the weekend is out? :-P
I drink wine and beer and hard liquor on occasion...
You horrible sinner, you! I must speak to Xenalyte about banishing you for your evil ways :)
Ron White is hilarious. Just thinking about him is making me laugh right now. He and Larry would be the comedy show mecca for me.
After careful consideration lasting approximately three seconds, I have decided that if you see the movie by sundown on Sunday, you will be allowed back in.
the robotic Richard Simmons.
Anything but that, master! I will steal, cheat, lie, (anything but vote for Kerry) as long as thou doth not banish thee!
PS: How'd I do on the thees and thous? Does that sentence even make sense?
