Ok I'm a Christian, I'm all for religion. Unforchantly there are some real losers that give religion a bad name, because of these losers there are a lot of annoying stereo types that go along with Christians (or religious people in general). They latest guy I've seen making a fool of himself and cementing in these stupid stereo types is this guy.
You can watch the video here.
I quote the next part from Paul Tassi:
This video shows a TV pastor (anyone know his name) educating his flock on the demonic powers of Pokemon and the choking evil grip it has over our nation's children. In one fell swoop he manages to express his complete lack of understanding over not only Pokemon, but also his own religion. All of this is in the video, but let's summarize.
- Pokemon means "Pocket Monsters" in English. Monsters are evil.
- Pokemon get more powerful and evolve in better versions of themselves. Evolution is evil.
- Children form relationships with the Pokemon and command them to fight each other using elemental powers. This is somehow witchcraft. Witchcraft is evil.
- Kids have STABBED each other over Pokemon cards. I think this happened one time. Stabbing is evil.
- The devil has nothing better to do than to use Pokemon to turn your children into little witchcraft practicing demons. All of this is evil.
He also makes the brilliant analogy that "You'll say that this is JUST A GAME, well Russian Roulette is also JUST A GAME!" and then goes on to say that with Pokemon, children won't be able to distinguish between that world and reality. This is probably true if you have the world's dumbest children, but most kids will understand that their house cat does not have the ability to shoot electricity out of its cheeks.
*back to me* ;) So put this guy on cable? If you find out tell me, I'm hunting the moron down. Not only does he make religion look stupid...nobody messes with Pokemon while I'm around...unless they want to mess with this...
