Fantasy, the occult, and you

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Yes, I'm going to whine about the people's perception of fantasy again. we've already had the literary snobs, now it's time for another, possibly even more infuriating group of people: a certain brand of christians.

Now to be honest with you, I still go to church every sunday, even though I'm not quite sure what to believe anymore. So I'm not trying to bash Christianity here. However, there's a certain category of christians who tend to see the fantasy genre as something inflluenced by Satan, a stepping stone to "witchcraft". The kind of people who want to ban Harry Potter books. I even personally know some of them and they can't. Be. Argued. With. Because the Bible says we shouldn't get involved with any kind of magic. Not te mention that the bible treats men and women unequally, condones slavery, says it's immoral for men to grow long hair, but those are things these people gloss over.

I love stories with magic in them, but I don't believe in magic myself. It's not real. These people, however, do believe in magic and demonic influences behind it. and yet, when you ask them "doesn't that make you very fearful?" they will always deny it. But if you go so far as to seek demonic influences behind even My Little Pony (I'm not kidding here!) why wouldn't you be?

I don't get these people, I really don't. Does any of you have any clue?
