Well, I could say......

Pokemon is against the Flying Spaghetti Monster, mocking it with Tengala!

And then, Rapidash isn't invisible, making less people believe in the power of the Invisible Pink Unicorn!

....But that's stupid.

By the way, my little sister (Manaphy123) goes to church, and she adores the "Jiggly Puff," the "Demon."

And"Bulbasore" happened to be my first pokemon, and it's to
friendly to be an evil demon.

ironic dont you think? almost every CHRISTIAN i know is a pokemon fan

Same here. In fact, one of the only two I know who don't(That I know are Christian, I don't talk about religion much) used to be.

Oh, there's another interesting attack: Surf. In game, it's a very powerful move with 95 Base Power. But in real life, it does nothing, except, well, surfing on the waves.

 

[NamuSkull]

We don't worship pokemon, we become die hard fans of it. There's nothing wrong with that.
If these guys are so bent out of shape about it, they might as well call Marvel, DC, Disney, and vice versa evil.
But since they won't, I'm gonna enjoy my top 3 favorite pokemon in my sig.
Especially that cute and cuddly Vaporeon xD. *squeals*

 

[artbomber_97]

I would use pokemon for EVIL !!! (like, duh...). Let's see what I can do, umm, stealing money, cheating in the school tests, fighting with friends, peeking the girls' bathroom, control my girl classmate's mind to ... Oh no, I'm giving too many details about this lol.

You forget that the people who accuse Pokemon of Satanism and sacrilege are also intelligent people with their reasons for doing so. Instead of investigating their reasons, why do you outrightly claim innocence and righteousness and then proceed to turn the thread into a one-sided laugh fest, when all you have done is dismissed whatever accusation is hurled at you?

True, but calling Jiggles a demon and accusing bulbasaur of devil worship/whatever is a wee bit extreme. Arceus is almost inevitably the most anti-Christian pokemon (worship (?) other deitys) and it didn't get attacked. Likewise with the cloning that created Mewtwo and making artificial life in the forms of the Porygon family.
He wasn't attacking the right pokemon and accusing the nicer ones of being evil.

They are not directly criticizing the fictional characters in Pokemon, but actually the behavioral disorders they can sometime cause. Pokemon, as we all know is an addictive series. However, when children get so addicted to it that it hinders and/or affects their everyday functioning then parents and other authoritative figures start becoming paranoid. The religious people are just taking a religious stand on it. If you ask a psychologist, he/she'll give you a rational explanation. The christian explanations are meant for christian parents, and nothing else.

 

[moonlightning]

It's most definately a cult, why else would we practice the ritual every Pokemon Sunday?

But seriously, it does seem a bit fishy, Why would such a devolted group of followers extract every piece of information, try every combination, dream, write, draw, sprite, talk about, live and breathe Pokemon? ( When other more important issues are not available.)

 

[Neo Duality]

You must also realize that most of these things are trolls, and are not by actual christians/extremists. You must acknowledge that and not prosecute the entire religious community for it.

 

[Devastator2000]

You're just a rebellious teenager who gets made fun of for liking pokemon, anime and general japanese things to the point of introvertedness. You get bullied at school, tell yourself you're awesome online and as a result are rebellious to the norms of society such as religion.

Geek.

Mr. Mod says timeout in the corner for Oddy.

But yeah, that Christian is talking Bull****. Pokemon = Fiction. Fiction = Not reel. Not reel = Not a cult.

 

[SoulSilverMstr411]

Christians are pompous twats who have nothing better to do than slander and tell people they're worshiping the wrong god.

 

[SoulSilverMstr411]

Depends or weather eco-terrorism is good or evil.

This, This, and this more. Well, some christians.

All 2.2 billion of them? Wow, they all have the same personality? M'kay, that makes a lot of sense that 1/3 of the population of Earth fulfill that one stereotype.

If you really think that you can just make a huge generalization like that based on this one guy who calls himself a Christian, you're just as stupid as that preacher.

 

[yoshi1990]

Why does everyone think that all christians are a bunch of jerks who only want to shove our relion into there life.

 

[Hejiru]

Why does everyone think that all christians are a bunch of jerks who only want to shove our relion into there life.

Because some people that call themselves Christians really do act like that, so people just assume that, by golly, every real Christian must be the exact same way. It's called stereotyping.

 

[AzukanAsimbu]

Why does everyone think that all christians are a bunch of jerks who only want to shove our relion into there life.

from the things that have been going on, I can understand why people think that about Christians

 

[Neo Duality]

You guys are coming off as extremely ignorant if you don't look at the implications this (albeit ridiculous) accusation has presented. It is a true fact that little children get addicted to Pokemon and become part of a financial trap. Christians simply view it as the work of Satan.
