I don't think fear is the reason behind her comments. More of an awareness that not all is as it appears to be. Those not of the faith can see it as mere paranoia, just as others see some gun-rights activists as paranoid. But, that does not mean that all professed Christians are of the tin-foil hat wearing clique.

FWIW, Harry Potter may indeed have a sinister purpose. I don't know, as I have said, I haven't read the books. Pokemon could have had a sinister purpose. Or maybe it was just clever marketing.

The original poster felt that this should be a warning to parents of a certain persuasion, many of which lurk here, in a gathering place of a variety of conservative ideals. I have seen a similar article elsewhere.

I do not know how much you are "clued-in" to our faith, but the Bible in Revelation expresses that these things (call it a shift to the dark side, if you wish) are forecast to happen. Nothing I, or any other Christian for that matter, do will have any affect on stopping that. It must come to pass for the conclusion to arrive at the end of Revelation.

It is easy to ridicule things you do not believe in. I understand that. Someday, we will both know which of us is correct.

I can say to the other brothers/sisters in Christ out there to consider what you say here. There are ways to fight these battles, and ways to make them worse. Think about how you will sound. As far as Harry Potter is concerned.. it is all supposed to get a lot worse (read Left Behind) before it gets any better. Any one of you that can't see that happening before your eyes is blind. Evangelize with confidence, but with effectiveness. Consider your audience. This is probably not the best forum for such actions.

You forgot the teletubbies. One of them was a faggot from hell.

I mean no direct disrespect to you. But isn't this a no brainer? We should just leave this up to the parents.
