The bridge on the river kwai trailer

Isn t it fortunate that Lewis had the bad evil Calorman Captain call for Tash? Not the followers of the true Aslan? Someone I am extremely close to and I cannot stress that fact enough was raised in a home where she was encouraged to interact with witchcraft. FYI, she s a Christian now. When we watched HP, she told me the witchcraft she knew about wasn t at all like real life witchcraft. She described it as being more Gandalf-type. Seeing as you are probably ignorant on the subject since you seem to refuse to go close to anything that is potentially controversial, Not Of This World I hope you don t mind that I believe her and Bookwyrm instead. Blunder. When I said the witchcraft she knew about I meant the magic in HP. See, this is what happens when I try sounding cool. Primrose is right, the the bridge on the river kwai trailer of thing Wiccans and other assorted magic practitioners practice tends to revolve around ritually the bridge on the river kwai trailer supernatural entities and nature worship. Some of the darker branches get into full-on demon summoning and worship of the devil, but they tend to be the rare exceptions. In Harry Potter, what they call magic is the innate ability to manipulate a power source present around the world that is unknown to science. You could easily strip the magic trappings away and claim they re mutants, especially once we learn that most of the spells in HP can be performed without words and even without wands in necessary. It has about as much in common with real witchcraft as a dude pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I don t care if the witchcraft like your friend experienced glad to hear your friend gave her life to Christ and I m totally not offended about your different veiw, wizards use magic, which is witchcraft. So you don t care if someone who has experience with the belief system you decry says that Harry Potter isn t like her former religion? I guess your motto would be Never let facts get in the way of a misinformed opinion. Darling, I hate to break it to you, but there aren t any witches in Twilight. You might want to get your facts straight before attacking a film for being EVUL!!11!. As for the Narnia movies being better than other movies, I think you meant to write books there and not movies. Because the movies so far have been average to mediocre to outright crappy. Vampires is witchcraft too. I think it s pretty clear you have absolutely no concept of what witchcraft really is. How exactly is a dude biting someone and injecting weird venom goop into them that mutates the person into a sparkly ubermensch witchcraft? Average? LWW took my breath away. I would say the only HP film that compares favorably with LWW is Prisoner of Azkaban. And even that I wouldn t describe as better, just equally good in a very different sort of way. As for Twilight, I ll have to take your word for it. Vampires are still evil and use magic. That s witchcraft. I think it is you, my friend, who doesn t know what witchcraft is. And yet another broad generalization that ignores the wide body of vampire fiction with its varied depictions of what it means to be a vampire in favor of overly dogmatic and simplified erroneous statements. Twilight vampires are only evil if they want to be. There s nothing supernatural about them, they re essentially genetic mutants. There s plenty of things to attack Twilight over misogyny, horrible depictions of what romance and true love are, truly repulsive ideas about what women and men should be like without creating false claims of witchcraft in the movies and books. If you re going to make that claim, you d best be able to tell me what page it happens on and who s doing the spellcasting. And furthermore, if you intend to condemn fiction that suggests that vampires supernatural or not can be redeemed and become good beings, then you must also condemn the Chronicles of Narnia and most of C. Lewis fiction. In case you have not noticed, the CoN includes numerous mythological creatures. These include satyrs, fauns, and centaurs. All were known for their vulgar appetites, womanizing, violence, and boozing in Greek/Roman mythology. Does that make all use of them in any sort of fiction evil and witchcraft? And since you have a problem with fiction using personages considered gods in mythology, then you must also have serious issues with the fact that Lewis refers numerous times to nature gods in the CoN and includes Bacchus in Prince Caspian. Also, in his Space Trilogy, he includes the gods Mars and Venus as real entities, similar to angels, who preside over the planets who bear their respective names.
