Pokemaniac, I feel sorry that you have a mother like that. She sounds a few scews short of a working brain.

Religion has so many flaws that it points out the *evils* of other things that make people happy. I many believe in God, but not in the crazy why many people seem to believe. It is man who twisted religion to such an ugly thing. Man can only be free of evil if they see the evil inside themselves. Unforturnly many people who believe they do good, but don't see the evil they themselves cause. If you play the game Tales of the Abyss for the PS2, you'll see what I'm talking about.

And thanks Dark Scyther127. That was the kind of reponse I wanted to here from my tone of voice about that remark.

I read those articals and was inspired. I now belive that pokemon is evil and is sent by the devil. I am appalled that you people cannot see reason, pokemon pollutes our minds and destroys our lives............Yeah right.

How can this Image be a satanic hord?

These people are creating hate articals and obsessing over the evils of a child's game. There is a thick line between having religion and having it twist your mind. (And I only read one article.)

I looked at those articles, they claim that pokemon is "polluting" and "controlling" our minds.

Isn't that EXACTLY what they are trying to do to the people who believe these articles?

Thats Ridiculous(Sp)! I can't Stand People like that, I mean, Most really religious people bug me, but when they go off on a GAME, its not like we're Poking our fingers with needles and sripping blood into a candle while sitting inside a pentagram in a room full of candles say," ALL PRAISE THY DARK POKEMON LORD!! FOR HE SHALL DESTROY THEE WITH HIS EVIL MIGHT", or Sacrificing Goats or something...anyway...About the Kadabra thing...Those don't even look like S's to me very much, they're just squigly lines, and Isn't a Pentagram a Star made of Lines or whatever?...Not a Solid Object like the Stars on the Flag, or thos Gold Stars you get in Kindergarten for being a 'Good Boy'?

I can barely read all of those Articles...

People will label anything Satanic if it doesn't teach kids to do exactly "what they should be doing": sitting down, shutting up, and listening to every word their parents say with no opinions allowed. These type of Christians make the entire religion look bad, but there are always a few bad seeds in every garden.

By the way, half of those sites you linked to are joke sites, such as the first one, and obviously the second ("Comedy Club" is even in the title).

Well put.

I looked at those articles and all I have to say is, wow. Do these people have nothing better to do than to sit around and think WAAAAY too deeply into something as innocent as Pokemon? So what if Weepinbell sprays acid onto his enemies. I don't think someone who plays the game or has the cards is going to go around spraying people with acid just because a fictional plant does it (unless they have some sort of psychological problem, but that's a different story) Most everyone knows better. Jease, these people are stupid.

And then there's the whole issue about how they're worried that their children are carrying their cards around with them, and that the kids are going to think they have magic powers because of it. Sure, they might whip out their cards and say something like "Charizard, flamethrower!" but that isn't what I'd consider "evil". It's called IMAGINATION. kids play with each other, and sometimes that's how they do it! These Christians who are against Pokemon just don't want their kids to have any imagination at all, and that's what this all boils down to. Pokemon isn't satanic in ANY way. These idiots just need to keep their mouths shut and let their kids have a little fun.

Oh, and they need to learn that Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters, not Pocket Demons. I read that in a couple of those articles and laughed at their stupidity. You'd think with them writing in-depth articles like that they'd do a little research first..

LMFAO I love the 3rd or 4th one. "Kadabra has the Satan's mark on his head and is saluting to the devil" "Ohz Noe teh Pokemon are going to go in our parent's throut and sufficate them!" Man the way they described Pokemon in one of those, it actually sounded as if it was a cult when I read it for a second. "Ash caught his 5th Pokemon but his mentor said that isn't enough YOU MUST CATCH THEM ALL!"

I remember those days. Everywhere on the internet you saw things like "Play the Pokemon theme song backwards and you hear the words Worship Satan! Worship Satan!"

Religion itself has become a thing of evil. The main reason people cause wars is religion, but it is religion that says we shouldn't be killing each other. And yet some of the *pure* and *true* people have nothing better to do than to say something like Pokemon is evil, when they could be doing REAL good to try to stop wars. One look at Pokemon as {mew}, {celebi}, {jirachi}, and {manaphy} and no one should call them evil. If they do then it's off to the nut house with the rest of their kind... the crazy people. Yet they literaly make stuff up to make Pokemon look bad. If that isn't enough to send them to the nut house then I don't know what is.

This is about Pokemon being evil. Not a dislike thing, and not *evil* as in "This Pokemon is beating me so badly, it's EVIL!"

I mean can you look at {jirachi} and honestly say it is the real child of Satan and mean that from the bottom of your heart PillagingGarchomp? I do feel the answer is no, because why would you really mean that anyway?

There some Pokemon I do dislike, but I would never call them evil.

the purest picture of sanity and good Christians :roll:
I love how people either scapegoat or just go plain crazy over the dumbest of things

although the thought of Pikachu as Satan's lackey is a bit on the funny side

this deserves a comic

Okay, that does it. I am sick of this! I am going to stop the Pokemon industry by myself along with Charles Manson, my mom, the mother from Malcolm in the Middle, Saddam, Hitler, Ghengis Khan, and God Himself to destroy them!!! We must kill them!!! It is the only way to make our homes safe!!! Killing makes the world better!!! God loves it when I kill for him!! He'll understand!!! I may be breaking a commandment really badly, and have not gotten his permission to do so, but he'll understand, right??? Anything that has nothing to do with the ways of the lord are evil!!!! Dang it, if you don't believe me, I'll hurt you and/or kill you so that you see that I am the right and peaceful way of living!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! :mad:

..................if you ask me, some people are hypocritically messed up!! Man, this is why I'm NOT a Christian anymore. I have sen that many Christians are not open-minded at ALL!!! My mom is one, but not as bad as your mom, Pokemaniac. I am so sorry that she feels that way, and is forcing you to feel that.

Christian parents like that believe that you shouldn't love God because you want to, but because your parents should make you. That is why kids sometimes become Christians not because they fear God's wrath, but their PARENTS' WRATH!!! Is that what this religion has come to?? Turning the human race into slaves??? For one religion?

First off, there are probably over 20 different forms of Christianity, so they can't say that they are right, because others from another form will believe that they are wrong.

Second, there are more than 1000 different religions and beliefs altogether I bet. A person should not believe in something just because someone says it is right and others are wrong. A person should believe in a religion because they believe that it is true in their hearts.

Third, since when the HECK did Christians have the right to judge what is good and evil??? Last I checked, Jesus was the one to judge others, not human beings. We are not the almighty. We are servants for the almighty. The servants NEVER do the job of their master. They just listen to what He has to say, and believe everything He says.

And Pokemaniac, if your mom is so Hell-bent on making Pokemon out to be evil, I think she should watch The Boondock Saints and try a crusade like that against Pokemon. Yeah, let's see how far she gets. That would be funny.

I don't know how old you are or where you live Pokemaniac, but the apartments out here I live in are around $490 a month I think. There is a pharmacy that needs a part-time cashier right now, and you should probably move out here in Raleigh, NC if you can. I moved out of my parents house a long time ago, and have been REALLY happy since. I don't have to deal with their drama anymore, because I have enough of my own at home and work. I don't need theirs. And now my mom (who has been divorced from my dad for over 11 years and STILL holds a grudge to this day!!!) and my older brother believe that I am distancing myself from the family. Well, when I lieved with them, I acted the same way. The only difference is now they can't see me do it every day.

-Ryan

wow...just wow...that's really all I have to say. How can a bunch of creatures created by a ten-year old that can't even say anything but their own name be anything close to evil? My mom does this all the time to me. She says "If it doesn't say anything good about the bible, it must be evil!" And I believe that's a load of bull.

I don't care what my mom has to say about Pokemon being a bad thing. Besides there are tons of other things in the world WORSE than Pokemon, but Christians just love to pick out something Children love. I need to really talk to my mom about this too.

Oh yeah and ryan_dan I have to wait atleast 6 or 7 more years until I can move out. :cry: Try and guess how old I am.

Well Pokemaniac, you must be at least 11 or 12 and I am sorry that you have to deal with the craziness of your mom still. Then again, things could be a lot worse. You could have a strict military dad who says that pokemon is weak and he will beat you into a soldier. I dunno, maybe something that crazy, I guess. But you know. No matter how bad things are, they can ALWAYS be worse. No matter how bad.

these must be some of those fake priests that go on T.V.

They would say something like: "Poh-kuh-mun are EBIL! Dat smilin chansee be spreadin h8 evreewear! Bie our seedees now foar tw3lv nine-tee-nine and iff u ordur now u get an fr33 poh-kuh-mun be EBIL tee-shurt!"

Then some gullible guy would be like: "OMFG! MAH KIDZE PLAYE POH-KUH-MUN! DEY IS EBIL! DER HUGZEZ AND KISSEZ IS FAK3!!!!!!! THEY ISNT FOAR PEEC3! DEY H8 GAWD! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! I GOTSA BIE ME AN TEE SHURT!"

And last I checked, the creator of pokémon isn't satan. The fanged pikachu looks funny, though.

And they call Pokemon Satanic? Hypocrites.

Pokemon = Pocket Demons, I lol'd at that one.

Seriously, how stupid can people be? I'm Christian but I don't believe in this RPG's, Magic, and Dragons are satanic!

I feel bad for you Pokemaniac, it must've sucked when your mom did that.

wow, this is an interesting topic! but i think you should be careful about what you read on the internet. i know there has been a bit of pokemon=satanism hype, but check out the first link (the one about the minister burning/impaling pokemon dolls). its not actually on a christian site, although it claims it is - just have a look at the advertising material down the left hand margin; how many churches sell "hello satan" t-shirts?! :lol: i think that story was a satirical and exaggerated mock-up of the whole pokemon=satanism thing. the phenomenon did/does exist, but i think this is a bit of a strawman argument.

anyway, the perspective i bring to this discussion is that i am a christian, and i love pokemon. from a christian perspective or otherwise, it is not wise to waste too much time doing anything, and i think we all know pokemon is really addictive. but i dont really think pokemon is all that sinister; i mean come on - pocket-demon??? when i grew up people were scared of bands like KISS, and they would swear it stood for Knights In Satan's Service. there will always be extremists who want to bag out things that are popular.

there are a lot of christians out there. they are all people, so some of them are idiots. there are also a lot of pokemon fans out there. again, these are all people, and therefore some of them are idiots. for some reason, a lot of idiots like to write stuff on the internet. :roll:
