Ditto. My mom (AND my late dad, were he still with us) would get one heck of a laugh out of these two idiots. Like you, Jester, I, too, am a Christian. Have been for 40+ years now (and am VERY proud of that), but, unlike Ms (Mrs.?) Robie and Mr. Phillips, I happen to know the difference between reality and *gasp!* fantasy/fiction.

What PLANET are they from, anyway, that they, and these OTHER so-called "Christian" twits, don't? Sheesh.

Typically they say kids wouldn't, but hey when they were kids they had shows like Flash Gordon and Start Trek. Did those shows make kids question reality and fantasy? Did the Greek pantheon shown in Star Trek take them away from "the one true God"? NO! So why is it now kids are more stupid and unable to discern fake from real?

Seriously, I remember one video I watched in a class in college where the interviewer said that his childhood love, Flash Gordon was somehow different than the recent Star Wars stuff. That now science fiction was science fact or some malarkey like that. Wish I could track down that video. I swear it referenced the first TMNT movie and elicited groans from my fellow classmates

Maybe Phil Phillips is just mad he has giant teeth. Seriously, the guy can barely talk because of his large chompers.

Haha! i just watched that video link that Newton posted earlier. Farther in this series of videos they actually have He-Man toys out, and it looks like they're soooo tempted to just play with 'em. They had a few words about how Teela looked "voluptuous". These guys debunk themselves.

In the video, Phil Phillips claimed he was fasting when he walked in a toy shop and saw the "evil toy"...maybe he was hallucinating from lack of food

Or perhaps Mr. Phillips is just anougther lazy adult to tired to actualy pay any real attention, and just lets the scapegoats eat his grass....when he's not smoking it. The idiot. I can't stand it when they blame the evils of the world on cartoons, comics, books, movies, video games, and music. That realy burns me. And to top it off, these people are supposed to be intelligent adults. What a joke. lol.

im so relieved...normally any thread ive visited regarding christianity deteriorates into petty bickering...

However as a christian myself i dont see anything wrong with the ninja turtles. I think like God we are creative forces and can use those abilities to create wonderful things. I find nothing blasphemous about the turtles so whats the problem?

thats my two cents.

Well he also has God tell him specifically to put a stop to He-Man. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but if he's hearing voices, maybe HE needs the help. And if the voices he's hearing really are God, wouldn't they find him something better to do?

Thats the first thing that came to mind too. If I hadn't eaten in days, I might think Skeletor is talking to me too.

Indeed. The other odd thing he said was he was driving when God spoke to him during this fast...you shouldn't be driving if you're eating nothing. I think that adds more to my hallucination theory...but who knows, maybe this guys just lost his marbles (Or are they evil too? )

Wow. This guy is mental, but that's what religious fanatics who say that all these junk is evil really are. They need to find something better in their lives to do than criticize a children's show that actually talks about good morals. It's the same thing they've done to Harry Potter, which is ridiculous. Heck, I did my senior college paper on how Harry Potter has Christian morals and other morals within it. Honestly, I don't believe in God, but if this is the way God wants people to be, I honestly want no part to this.

Goodness no, not all religious folks are like this, thankfully... It's the few crazies that seem to catch most of the attention these days.

I'm curious to find out if they've done any NEW stuff for the 2K3 series. You know that fearmongering, family-doting, values-pushing series....

No, Star Trek and Flash Gordon won't make a kid question the difference between reality and fiction, but it does inspire them to investigate the thoughts of time travel, space travel, and other fields that may or may not put the question of a higher power to rest, and some sectors are afraid of that happening.

Well put, Machi. I know that both my late grandmothers (true Christian ladies, both) AND my late, beloved, and much missed Aunt Floss (who WAS a dedicated Christian if there ever WAS one!) would be absolutely APPALLED by these two ninnies!

Heh, and IF they were all three still with us, they'd get these two together, sit them down and PROMPTLY give them one SHELL of a talking to about such nonsense!

Yeah, me, too.

And you know, THIS is a bit OT (kinda), but if THIS is how they view (and basically TRASH) the TMNT, I'd kinda hate to see how they'd react to the characters in Elfquest, ANOTHER of my fave comics. (To MY mind, Winnowill is the elfin equivalant of Shredder. She's JUST as evil and MEAN, anyway! Just, to her credit, a bit more CLASSY, when it comes to HER schemes and cruelty.) Not sure I want to KNOW, really.
