People (in general) seem to slap that whole 'non-Christian' label onto just about any old thing now-a-adays. Seems to me they are likely forgetting what the word really means in stead of twisting it around to suit their purposes. Magic an monsters and the fight against good an evil doesn't have ANYthing to do with being non-Christian. Reminds me of the time I stayed the weekend with my Grandparents and they wouldn't allow my brother and I to watch the "Dungeons and Dragon's" cartoon because it was non-christian and would pervert our young, delicate, formative minds. I told them that was a crock of bull back then too. Luckily my parents had more sense. Is there anywhere in her books that she says "God Doesn't exist and neither did Christ. Worship my God instead" ????? didn't think so. sonya > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
