Horror movies according to Christianity.com

[MichaelMyers]

This (http://forums.christianity.com/html/P953322/?page=last) is a pretty funny thread. Surprisingly, most of them defend the movies. One quote, though:

Horror movies are fantasy, but they are also "of the world". As a Christian, I have to live in the world, but I choose not to be of the world. Satan has had his hand in the entertainment industry since it all began. I have set myself apart as holy to The Lord as He has commanded us to do. It is my pleasure to live my life as holy as possible.

Now... I still have fun, still laugh, still enjoy myself. But I can't honestly see anything redeeming about horror movies in general. Would we watch a slasher flick on the big overhead screens at church? Would we watch it in front of our pastor and congregation?

"That Passion of the Christ" says hi.

[Arioch]

Scapegoat anyone?

[jay o2 waster]

LOL

[Sam The Egg]

HAHA! They clearly have never been to my church

Would we watch a slasher flick on the big overhead screens at church? Would we watch it in front of our pastor and congregation?

Yes and yes (Except for the old people, but that's more because they're old)

[GorePhobia]

they are a bunch of hypocrites screw em all

[Plaguewind]

Well, never had any probs with most Christians I know, as far as horror was concerned...

i'll drink to that.

horror movies are the root of all evil. i can't believe that people actually watch that trash. watching people brutally murdered should not be in anyway viewed for entertainment value. all these "films" do is make a new batch of truly disturbed generation.

[Sam The Egg]

if anything, they're not violent enough. Ya know what's good for entertainment? The pediatric burn ward

HOLY CRAP!! my friend was a witness and she used to 'teach' me, meaning she wanted to convert me

anyway i got to learn a lot about them and well.. im sorry man!

from what i learned, she must not be too happy that ur not a witness. the girl told me 'we have to be careful around peopel that arent witnesses because they dont have the same morals we do'

so i asked her 'ok so ar you scared to be with me right now?'

she said 'well my mom did tell me to take care and be careful. i mean you may want me to do something bad'

'like what'

'oh hehe i dont konw. like, go to an R rated movie or something!'

man... that really REALLY sucks. not only about her but your dad and sis. im trying to think of a way to really get to her but you probably know some

does she have all those pamphlets? try making paper planes of all of them

then go to the library and bring home a bunch of books on wicca, satanism, buddhism, catholicism, you name it. and lay them all around the house. stephen king books, would work too. while ur at it get some videos too. lots of R rated stuff

know whats weird? she thougth that harry potter was evil, but that LOTR wasnt? wtf??? so yeh, get some potter books too.

then if you have a lot of money, go buy yourself a lot of crosses and figurines. put them at like the front door. holy crap she'll be praying every minute.

LOL. i have a whole shoe box, and it was platform sneakers so its a BIG box, of pamphlets. then a bag of hardcover books, including a bible and some book of bible songs.

how about growing your hair out long? that would piss her off. it specifically says in their bibile 'men shall not have long hair' and try talking to yourself a lot. sing a lot of evil-ish songs. try rapping about pimps and hoes. at the dinner table, draw a pentagram or even a cross on your forehead, down the bridge of your nose. that is my plan next time a witness comes over, but they never do anymore.

bloody, yeh see if u think about it what i mentioned isnt even that bad. but to a witness like everything scares them

lol wonder if they r scared of own shadow. mayb carries mom was a witness:D

[fluffho]

i never thought of that. i wouldnt be surprised if they believe their shadow is the devil following them

know what else sucked. was the fact that they wouldnt even research buddism, catholicism, mormonism (i think they thought these to be the most evil). anyway, they wont even READ about it, even to be able to say 'yeh theyre wrong because of this' becuase they believe that if you were to even read about it, you are showing the devil that you are interested, therefor allowing the devil to tempt you and opening yourself up to him

... yeh.....

as for carries mom. im pretty sure she had some crosses and stuff and jehovahs witnesses are completely against that. but definitely, carries mom was a fanatic of some sort

[Sam The Egg]

ya know what the bible specifically damns? Clocks. That's right, clocks. Anybody know what time it is? If you do, you're going to HELL!!!!!

[fluffho]

last - yeh long hair isnt the worst but they certainly frown upon it. as for the song, you go boy.

bloody - yeh it is pretty depressing these people. i mean they are against blood transfusions. so i asked her 'ok so if your little sisters bus were to crash, and her blood was all over the sand and in the pavement, you wouldnt let her have a transfusion, you'd just let her die?'

'yes, because thats what god wouldve wanted'

...? i couldnt believe that.

[fluffho]

not according to witnesses. thats the exact question i asked her but thats not their rendition. i think in their version, you do not know what he looks like. they dont allow crosses, figurines, pictures etc.

also, they dont celebrate holidays, including christmas. mainly beacuse this wasnt his birthday (well to them, we dont know his bday) but they do know his death day, in that case they go to some sermon where everyone coughs and yawns (i went to one of those). holidays also includes bdays. so no bdays either

Leviticus 19:26
Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

[fluffho]

you know whats funny? when they come to your door they give you those pamphlets.

well just like in school, there are the students editions, and the teachers editions. whats in the teachers editions? the answers

so if you ever look at their editions, it says in the back "say hello. ask them how they are doing. bring up the weather. "

then of course, if u read the pamphlets its not only about god but they try to bring in some regular stuff, like about the solar system or about some endangered species.

so on the back it will say something like 'ask them if they like africa. then mention that there is an article on africa and its creatures'

then it says 'bid them god bless and smile'

no im not lieing LOL.

[brownzombie]

Christianity inspired horror. Lynchings, burnings, torture, etc.

And didn't Stephen King once say that a horror film is a modern day equivalent of people going to a lynching?:D

[Arioch]

LOL. this is a pretty kickass thread. I must admit im a bit partial to the subject matter.

Well, I know a lot about them since my dead Aunt was one of them. I never heard anything about long hair, though.
Anyhow, they are pretty much correct in not celebrating Christmas, Halloween, Easter and all of the rest, since these holidays were created by Pagans. The Christians just stole these holidays and made them their own.

I used to little podonk church in my town.....the sad part is im an atheist and they didnt even have a preacher we had to sit there for like 3 hours listening to preachers on tape....

[Leper Messiah]

I'm starting a new religion that pretty much replaces Jesus with Judas. Jesus got all the credit for what Judas did. Jesus didn't die for all man's sins, Judas got him killed for all man's sins. According to the bible Judas saved mankind and has to spend eternity in the mouth of satan (I could be wrong, I read the bible... well most of it but I skipped a lot of the boring parts). Judas got screwed royally.

I think it will take off.
