I do not agree with some of his arguments BUT I am also against the saga. There are many beautiful films and books that give us Christian values, that awakens our hearts to love and serve God more, to consider biblical truths [even when the work itself is not Christian].

Twilight does not fall into that category. It is not even about vampires and werewolves. It is more the ideologies and preception of life. e.g. their view of love is sick, needy and doesn't resemble what God describes as love.

Fiction books and movies are entertaining, and they inspire and stimulate our creative minds. Are you trying to scare your audience into a relationship with God? Jesus would enjoy this movie and encourage the writer/director/actors to continue in their pursuit of the arts.

Man, lighten up. I've considered all of your arguments and they simply have no merit. I have read the books as a christian and have no desire to become a vampire, drink blood, sell my soul, etc. etc. I also don't want to become a wererwolf (sp?). Some things are a big deal and some aren't. You are barking up the wrong tree. BTW, Edward considers himself a monster who is damned AND doesn't want to have sex with Bella unless they are married. It doesn't promote vampirism.

As a Christian I respect this mans beliefs. However, I am still unsure what he is arguing against - how can he compare ancient humans offering their children to molech to people reading fiction today? A confusing video - and surely he should read the books before judging them - as athiests might want to research the bible before commenting.

This argument contains no argument.... If you're going to spend 6 minutes ranting about something, you should probably have some idea what you're saying. You're not going to "waste your time", reading "crap"? How are you going to argue something you know nothing about?..... Also, yes Twilight is fiction, much like every made-up story in your 2000 year old bible. Christianity is a farce. And your sad, stuck in the mud attitude is the reason so many are still plagued by war and imprisonment.

@vissirion22 What profile? Do I even have a YouTube profile?

[vissirion22]

@mechael1983 According to your profile you're a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. How is that "better" than Twilight? Pirates relied on stealing, murder and a host of other evils.

Point your holier than thou attitude elsewhere.
