So....today my mom brought up the whole 'pokemon is evil' thing. This was after a few days ago, when she tried to convince Ry and myself that Starbucks is evil because of their logo.
So, I had to see what the whole pokemon this is about, just because it seems so silly. And it is. Most of the people who write about the evils of pokemon can't even spell/pronounce it correctly. Those who do still don't seem to grasp what the games are about, or what, exactly, a pokemon actually is. All the arguments are stretched out and ridiculous, and draw on assumptions that simply are not true. It's just a bunch of people assuming things, and then putting them on the internet.
Now. If I fashioned an argument against God using the same sort of arguments - misquoted Bible verse, twistings of stories and somebody-said-somebody-said life experiences - what would a Christian say? They would completely dismiss it, because I don't know the material, and how can I talk about something I don't know about? I'm not saying there's a wrong or right here, just that, if you can't tell 'The Hobbit' from 'The Lord of the Rings', I'm not going to believe your argument about the uselessness of alegories, anymore than you would trust me to disprove the Bible if I didn't know Noah from Matthew.
