[Cloverfield]

Never having read the Harry Potter books before, I don't know the storylines, etc but I can pretty much guess. If I were a kid though I would say that I would definately read them, because I have always loved all stuff fantasy and that. I used to read heaps of books about stuff like that. Even now I love movies about witches and the anti-christ and stuff like that (it' ok, good usually wins anyway... I'm sure it's the same w/ these books).

Some people always tend to give things a label just because they think it is different or it's popular.

I found an article on the net somewhere once that said Videogames were Satanic. I read it and not only did I laugh, but I also found a lot of holes and non-facts in the article. I'd post the link here, but it's on my home computer which is getting fixed at the moment.

They probably reckon Abe possessing creatures is satanic (i.e. representing devil possession) and that the Xbox is a tool of the Devil.

It's a wonder Final Fantasy hasn't been accused yet (maybe it has, I haven't seen it)... it's full of magic, summoning, beasts, sorceresses (FFVIII) and black magic/mages (FFIX/FFX).

I even heard of some people that think that all forms of rock music are satanic (well how you you explain Christian Rock bands then???) and that anything that isn't "real" is work of the devil. It's almost like they think kids should not have an imagination. One church reckons that going to the movies or to a disco is bad.

I am a Christian myself (in my own way, I don't go to church or anything), but I laugh at this kind of stuff. I think the majority of Christians don't worry about this kind of stuff, but the extreme minority give us a bad name.
