@scrap222666 God can be glorified through many vessels. When I listen to uplifting music, God is being glorified through the artist's ability to be creative. When I attend school, God is glorified through the opportunities that He has given me to learn and gain an education. But when I read Twilight all those years ago, God was not glorified. I didn't praise Him or thank Him once. He cannot be found in a piece of literature that promotes evil things. He is light, and in Him there is no darkness.

The moment this man condemned Stephanie Meyer for being a Mormon, and began to bash on another religion as being "wrong", he lost what little credibility he had to me.

I agree with the whole pedophile aspect though, and I've been saying for years its just as creepy for older woman to scream and squeal over a 16-17 year old boy as it is for a man to scream over a 16 year old girl.

People are free to read and fantasize about whatever they like. Stories are made for your imagination...

I like how a book can be forbidden because it's called "The Sorceress". He acts like it's common sense that all these books shouldn't be read. Even if you accept that magic is bad, a book called "The Sorceress" could be about how sorcery is bad.

@sardwyn3 It is not literally His blood or His body. It is symbolic of the blood He shed on the cross for our salvation and much more and the brokenness of His body so our bodies can be healed and complete.

@delsomebody i'm an alarmist christian! glad to be your service. : )

@sardwyn3 There's this thing called... "symbolism" ... and the blood aint really Jesus' blood...it's tasty grapejuice or wine ... the body aint Jesus' really body... it's bread or wafers. The intent behind it was to remember Jesus... he says "this do in remembrance of me" (Luke 22)

it's to symbolize a covenant... nothing evil about it...in fact totally clean and true.

@RedStreak40 the sad thing is I am using my head. The only part he has a point on is the pedophile aspect of twilight, which is a great point and should be addressed. But come on' demons starting the mormon religion?? Both Christianity and mormonism are far fetched stories that people decide to believe in. You can't prove either one, so the discussion will go on forever. Mark is also a guy that said yoga is a practice into the demon world! Fin' yoga! Come on man!

For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.Matthew 24:24Beware of false prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep, but in their hearts they are vicious wolves.Matthew 7:15
