Quote# 31128

You cannot read the available information and data about the Pokemon phenomena without having an immediate reaction. The entire method and purpose of the game is to induce the possession of the player by devils. It is sorcery, clear and simple. The ultimate results of these games are as follows:

* Children and youth learn how to play with devils, which the Bible identifies as fallen angels.
* Children and youth are being taught that they can make devils subject to them.
* They are taught that devils are their servants and that the devils will fight for them against their enemies.
* They learn that these devils (pocket monsters) can evolve into more powerful devils.
* They learn that these devils have psychic powers that appear to be supernatural. (Psychic is Satan's imitation for supernatural in the Bible.)
* The children are challenged to become "masters" by conquering more and more monsters and the powers that operate in these creatures.

And Pokemon also teaches children evolution.

1. I wonder if this person thinks "evolution" in Pokemon is even remotely related to biological evolution. Sadly I think he does.

2. How can psychic powers merely "appear supernatural"? If they're really psychic powers they're supernatural by definition.

3. Pokemon aren't demons. They're pets with an elaborate collecting and fighting system around the concept.

fundie world must be like a comic book where everything you don't like was created for the sole purpose of damning millions of people to Hell.

This Rev. Chambers is in serious need of an anti-psychotic. His delusions are out of control.

I think he's jumping to conclusions because 'Pokemon' is short for 'pocket monsters'. I don't think he realises that in many contexts (such as heraldry, which I study as a hobby) 'monster' simply means a fictitious beast and doesn't have to mean anything evil.

What about those talking dolls? They have devils in them too.

The game is Japanese, a country where the predominant religion is Shinto and Buddhism, the latter non-theistic, and they don't have the notion of "demon". Moreover, the game consist in two pets who fight, directed by their trainers, using their characteristic abilities and they can improve them by "evolving", that is, changing in nature. Are you sure you read it or suffered from epilepsy when Pikachu shocked?

Yes, because electric chinchillas = the Devil.

It's fiction. There are no demons in the game. And you're a delusional moron.
Get thee to a nuttery!

Or alternatively it could be a game for children, or pasty faced teenagers with too much time on their hands who live in the attic . . .

What is it with fundies and pokemon?

To be honest, I would rather have my kids (if I had any) watch pokemon than something like "Passion of the Christ".

Apparently, little yellow mouse that goes "pika pika" = bad, 2+ hours of whipping and gruesome torture = good

Come on people. Seriously. It is a game. Entertainment. And no basis on reality.

No, Sorceries are in Magic, a superior card game (the Pokemon video games still rock, though).

And you have a problem with conquering and subduing evil? Besides, none of either of those things is real.
