“Speaking of being convinced, I’m certain by now that Taylor’s had some bad relationships. Her near-constant emphasis on exploded romance, though, is starting to wear thin. When she was 16, lots of folks took her side, seeing her as an innocent ingénue who’d been rudely taken advantage of. Yet here she is six years later, still determined to play the part of someone perpetually wronged. How long is it going to be before her fans notice the trend?”

    “The Devil Inside portrays spiritual warfare as quite real and demons as quite fearsome. And I suppose it’s nice to see the spiritual world so blatantly affirmed.”

    Yes, it’s nice to see the crazy part of Christianity that give all Christians a bad name.

    Because if people are curious about things other then Christianity, that would be awful.

    “But even if Harry Potter’s magic isn’t of the occult, it still carries with it serious dangers. First, Rowling’s stories—unlike Lewis’ or Tolkien’s—are neither a Christian allegory, nor do they subscribe to a consistent Christian worldview. And second, we live in a culture that glorifies and promotes witchcraft and the occult. No matter what the essence of Harry’s magic, the effect of it is undoubtedly to raise curiosity about magic and wizardry. And any curiosity raised on this front presents a danger that the world will satisfy it with falsehood before the church or the family can satisfy it with truth”

    "While we do not believe an individual typically “chooses” his or her same sex-attractions, we do believe that those who struggle with unwanted same-sex sexual temptation can choose to steward their impulses in a way that aligns with their faith convictions. We affirm the Scriptural teaching that homosexuals can and do change their sexual identity (1 Cor. 6:9-11). We support counseling and the availability of professional therapy options for unwanted homosexual attractions and behavior."
