Should Slender Man be Banned?

[Fanosolia]

well most people associate pagan or occult magic with rituals and those are christian rituals with high symbolism.

It is a different kind of symbolism entirely.

yeah thinking about it the wine was stretch :/

[Fanosolia]

Kids shouldn't read comics or enjoy Superman, since its obviously done by the occult.

Never mind the guy himself is Catholic or something.

Superman is basically Moses in spandex.

I thought spandex moses was batman?

No, it really isn't.

How so?

The cytokinesis was stated to be magic. That makes it occult.

Elsa can control people's cells now?

That was the suggestion in the spell check.

so in that statement: all Disney films are occultist films?

Not all of them.

Weselton doesn't like Frozen, for example, because it promotes the "occult". Since Elsa doesn't need to kill a goat every time she does her ice powers, I don't think Weselton is using your definition of the "occult".

Um, I never said that the occult sacrifices goats every time they want to curse someone. I said that sometimes they do that. And also, I didn't actually claim that Frozen promotes the occult (although maybe it does. I don't know that much about Frozen.)

Oh for fucks sake...

Frozen doesn't promote the Occult, its a fictional story...

And the Occult isn't evil by default...

Is Shazam evil?

Is Harry Potter evil?

Is Gandolf fucking evil?

Seriously, whats with the fear of the Occult, is God afraid that a wizard can become powerful enough to challenge him or something?

You all do know that if the occult was trying to harm children or whatever it is or against Gods plan right?

The shits predetermined.

Um, satanism can involve sacrificing animals or at least slicing yourself for the blood. Or witchcraft.

What is so funny? I kind of know a lot about satanism and witchcraft because I grew up learning tons about it and why it is wrong. Satanism and witchcraft, when you are involved enough, does indeed (although not all the time) have sacrifices.

Touché. But I'd still rather control Cyrus the Great than that... thing.

He's more like Jesus, at least in (I think) the Silver Age.

Superman is an orphan sent away and found by a foster family, has Hebrew word for god ("El") in his Kryptonian name, and was created by two Jewish guys.

[The United Zones of the West]

How can praying count as Christian magic? And the wine at church is for remembrance, it isn't some ceremony where we curse people or anything like that.

Well, if the prayer comes true, it's magic because you get something you want through means not explicable by science. That's besides the point because everything can be explained by science, but if prayer works and magic works then prayer is magic.

I see your point. I don't really want to argue further (because I still don't completely agree with your statement, due to my beliefs), because it would require a lot of time to prove my point.

Um, no. Christianity as we know it never had sacrifices. At least, sacrifices were not permitted in the Christian religion, according to the Bible.

the motto was: "when you wish upon a star" but that's me going a bit too far.

but how is a character who has good values, and a moral to teach bad the second the have some "occult" power? that' just a character to look up to

[Empire of Narnia]

I don't think banning the story would be right. After all Slender-Man was the villain, and I don't remember any part of it encouraging sacrifices or anything like that. Those kids were just messed up. Even if Slender-Man was real only a psycho would want to kill for him. I once thought Star Fox was real, but I would never think of killing for him. That's just insane.

Thank god someone with sense from that side appears, holy shit thank you.

[Republic of Libanon]

I think it should be banned in schools, and I also believe that it should be boycotted.

*shrugs* It's not a perfect analogy, especially since a lot of the core Superman lore was created by other people, including Kryptonite.

Also, originally, Superman was supposed to be a superhuman sent from the future, not an alien planet, which would have made so much more sense.

[The United Zones of the West]

It is a different kind of symbolism entirely.

No, it really isn't.

The occult have rituals to conjure up magic, while the passover ritual is about remembering what Christ did for us. It is not conjuring up magic, it is simply a sort of memorial ritual. An acknowledgement ritual, if you will.

It is a different kind of symbolism entirely.

How so?

They kind of did that in Red Son.

I believe there was, something to do with the Old Covenant, sacrificing Lambs and all that. Could be wrong.

Plus, isn't god sacrificing his son kind of a big one?
