The fact that this guy didn't know what Sailor Moon is pissed me off more than anything else.

Omg I just read that entire thing- the person who wrote the original article is blowing that so out of proportion! Wow, just wow.

I do love this particular line from the reviewer:
And I wonder if the person who wrote the original article knows that there's a difference between a cult following and a cult.
...Probably not.
The witchcraft bashing upsets me though. A lot of the best friends I've ever met are witches, as am I.
I suppose irrational jerks like the article writer will be irrational jerks though. Not much I can do about it.
Blunt, and oh so wonderfully accurate.A new objective: Be paranoid.

Missy: Don't be offended by a 10 year old article. Plus it was obviously written by Christians, who dislike witches.

Meh, 10 years old doesn't mean the person who wrote it is no longer around and believing that crap about me though.Chaze the Chat wrote:Missy: Don't be offended by a 10 year old article. Plus it was obviously written by Christians, who dislike witches.
Don't underestimate the Christians though. There are some like that one who are... Misinformed, but most are nice, reasonable people just like anyone else. Same goes for the side of witches. Not to mention Christianity and the craft overlap a fair bit. Christian witches are common enough, and the rational majority of both sides are pretty accepting of them.

Catholics are all Christian. 
Don't bring religion into this though. I'm Christian and I have nothing against witches. O.o
The article is completely bogus. I'm the most cheerful person and I've played Pokemon since I was like 7. Pokemon has not made me think that I'm all powerful or anything dumb like that.
Point I'm trying to make is, the article makes it seem that everyone that is into Pokemon is bad, based on a few individual situations.

Don't worry, I hate discussing religion almost as much as discussing politics. That is worse though.Slix wrote:Catholics are all Christian.

And I like how they hate on Jessie and James not being perfect biblical figures when they are, in fact, bad guys.
