My Adventures Through Theology and Beyond discussion

These things are not evil in themselves, but when you take them too far it is.

I don't read 'em...whatever. Not my kind of literature.

When did I say that? I like some scifi, but not the depressing kind.

Since when has Twilight been sci-fi??? LOL

Watch them??? *confused*

No. Not at all.

Twilight...I just don't care for. And no, not because it has vampires, vamps. are ok with me but its just the book it self.

Harry Potter, I don't like nor I agree with it.

Buffy, never watched it so I have no opinion

Quote from J.K Rowling.

"I really feel that we're not giving children enough credit for distinguishing what's right and what's wrong. I, for one, devoured fairy tales as a little girl. I certainly didn't believe that kissing frogs would lead me to a prince, or that eating a mysterious apple would poison me, or that with the magical "Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo" I would get a beautiful dress and a pumpkin carriage. I also don't believe that looking in a mirror and saying "Candyman, Candyman, Candyman" will make some awful serial killer come after me. I believe that many children recognize Harry Potter for what it is, fantasy literature. I'm sure there will always be some that take it too far, but that's the case with everything. I believe it's much better to engage in dialog with children to explain the difference between fantasy and reality. Then they are better equipped to deal with people who might have taken it too far."

I completely agree. Harry Potter has good morals in it. Twilight not so much, but I wouldn't call it outright just plain bad. And at least Buffy is trying to kill the evil vampires. Good conquers over evil.

I know alot of christian kids who love twilight because it was written by a mormon author, however most of them don't watch buffy or read HP

I like both of those series, no matter who wrote them

^ when was buffy on air (years)

Haha, very true:) I've never heard of Buffy before...

Oh.....:)

ok I was in elementary school when it ended

I agree.

hopefully"

what do you mean?

In which series? In Harry Potter good conquers over evil. In Twilight there's not really a definite line between good and evil (at least that's how I view it), but it basically conquers over evil.

it's all good.

weeeeeellllllll. Random question...what kind of music do you like???

hmmmm, not a big fan of country. I usually find music myself, but I like most stuff.

None of these series are sci-fi. They are still awesome, though, and so is sci-fi.

EDIT: By "they", I don't mean Twilight. Twilight is average. Harry and Buffy are awesome, though.

Well, I just watched my first episode of Buffy a few hours ago. (Thank you, Netflix.) It was awesome! How have I not been watching this?

Harry Potter is the most amazing book series ever written. It is pure brilliance.

Ha ha, I can relate, sadly. :P

well there is nothing wrong with any of them other then Twilight being probably the worst book ever written :)

I have never even heard of that book.

Girl4beluga wrote: "I disagree the worst book ever written is Great Expectations."

No dissing Dickens! Especially not in favor of Stephanie Meyer! And Meyer's books don't deserve the title of "Worst Books Ever".

Yay more people who hate twilight lol

What worse title should we give worst waste of trees ever or best fire-starter lol

Actually, Stephanie Meyers books arent as great as you think they are. When you look back from a while from now, you will know that they werent as good as you thought they were. I know now that they arent, and im disappointed about the movie, TOTALLY ruined it.

And ppl should know that these conecpts (vampires, warewolves, etc...) arent real. But when people take it too far and actualy believe it, its stupid and dumb of the person to believe these myths! They arent real, so people shouldnt be offended by movies coming out with them in it. But when people take it too far and believe in them, and wont let people see those type of things because they are real, then thats just pure incanity and craziness. They arent real in ANY circumstances, though people can have fun reading about them and watching movies and tv shows about them and stuff like that, they ARENT REAL AT ALL.

I don't know anyone who actually believes in werewolves and vampires, and I know some pretty dedicated Twilight fans. As a fan of other series, though, I can completely understand being offended when a movie messes with the book.

I like Harry Potter and Twilight!

:D

OMG! I'm in love with Buffy!! When I was young (like, maybe eight) me and my brother would always watch it in the morning before going to school. An amazing show XD My mom went crazy when she found out my brother and I watched it almost everyday (the first movie) and told us we can't watch that..stuff. Twilight..I fell asleep on the movie. So yups.

Angel, Riley, Spike, and then Xander XD you? And I don't watch this show anymore, unfortunately):

I just finished the second episode of Buffy, and I am loving it! :D

Spike <3, Xander, Angel, Riley"

LOL!! That's funny! This was hard. I'm always gonna be in love with Spike though.

Lol! Ha, nooo..I'm gonna have to start watching it again! I'm so out of it!

Yup

umm... I have no clue what you people are talking about...

O wait yes I do...
