Mike, I’m sorry…your comment was trapped by my anti-spam until today. Hehe, that’s a funny comment, too. “Pretend to sin?” Ya, right!

I can’t believe it. I really can’t believe anyone has actually seen that show. I mean the movie was funny but, I don’t understand how they took a movie that was a comedy and turned it into a dramatic t.v. show. It’s complete b.s.
Anywho i’m real glad that my kids can watch poorly written t.v. if they want. I’m also real glad to start raising kids in a church where love is the guiding ethic. Not this weak wimpy faith that’s afraid of make-believe. I mean how weak is the faith that’s afraid to watch a pretend show for fear of being contaminated? It’s no wonder their kids walk away, their making God out to be some loser God who can’t handle make-believe sin.
If he can’t handle that then how is it that we are to believe he’s got the answer for our actual sin? I for one am going to rest assured that if I pretend to sin, the cross is still sufficient.

Funny…hasn’t Buffy been off the air for a couple years now…talk about finger on the pulse of what the younger generation is into…years later.

Anyway, keeping kids away from Buffy or Harry Potter is silly anyway. Lauren’s parents used to forbid her from watching the Simpsons, which was the only reason she ever watched it! She didn’t even think it was that funny!

I have a fundy aunt and uncle who wouldn’t even let their kids play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with me when I was little. Currently, their oldest son wants nothing to do with God. He is living with his fiance and sneaks away to smoke after the family Thanksgiving dinner. I wonder what they think of that.

Phew…
I was alarmed that I had succumbed to the power of the occult.
Confession time: Steve and I were closet (we did not allow our 5, 4, 2 and new born sons see the violence – hence the closet reference) Buffy watchers – we loved this show.

The hate is so evident in these schools – I was just reflecting on some of the dangers my children face as they walk the halls of the “witch doctor” school ( I love that reference).

One thing I am certain of – increasingly so – is that the worth that Christ imparts to us is so amazing – too wonderful to understand or to see fully. I hope that God can use some of the struggles my sons have experienced to redeem and rescue some of those children who are being willingly held hostage to the grandeur and prestige of this American dream – what is in reality a waking nightmare of zombies who live by feeding off of others – for their false significance and fleeting existence.

BTW
Buffy actually addressed the high school culture and its dangers – it’s an insightful show at times.
