Read that link written by Fundy Matt Slick. Another notch down for Christian
thought.

Here's a piece...

"Is Pokemon dangerous? Yes, it is. It conditions the child who plays the
game into accepting occult and evolutionary principles....."

I like the part where they say that there has been no explanation at all for
the Japanese child who has a fit while watching the cartoon (which contained
flashing colours and lights). Aparently they think that epilepsy is the
result of demonic possession from the evil Pokemon demons.

My fave:

"One observer of children playing the game said the children would afterwards
mimic the game by summoning the Pokemon to attack others. This is occultic."

No ... 'occultic' would be the Pokemon who was summoned ACTUALLY showed up.

As it is now, it's called "pretend".

I've seen the show. What they call evolution has absolutely nothing to
do with any of the evolutionary principles.

Does Pokemon use macro-evolution, or only micro-evolution? Since
it's on a Gameboy, it should be the latter, but then the
creationists shouldn't object.

Aw, come on! Haven't you figured out that fundys can't tell the
difference? ;-)

Thank you for making that point. Couldn't have put it better myself.
Being a fan of Pokemon (an AVID fan), I don't see how these things are
hurting anybody. As a matter of fact, the cartoon and, to a certain
extent, the video game, teach values such as kindness and humility and
sportsmanship. Are Christians against this now, as well?

I thought the two terms "evolution" and "occult" was mutually exclusive...
the first one being perfectly natural that is.

Why not? The kids aren't learning thier kindness, humility, etc from
the -bible-! So, I guess you could say they are. Or that secular
kindness and secular humility is somehow qualitatively -different-
from the christian version.

Oh fuck, who knows what floats across those cesspools christers call
"minds".
