Not exactly a "true story"

I hardly think someone telling you what the Bible says about something as ephemeral as 'fairies' constitutes "ultra-right Christian prejuidices." Don't you think you're over reacting a smidge! Doesn't everyone have a right to post what information they know? Give it a rest!

I don't believe the Bible is he most reliable source for a subject such as this. The Bible is incomplete as Constantine censored much of it's content. And from what I have heard, faeries are supposed to be good creatures, though sometimes tricksters, but not evil. -

Even if they don't metion faeries in the bible does not mean that they don't exist. The imagination is a wonderful place and many people rely on that to get away from problems in there lives. I believe in faeries.

There's no electricity mentioned in the bible either, so I don't think that exists. This must be some strange sort of telepathy we're using to communicate with each other here a kind that must mesh with christian mythology, otherwise it couldn't POSSIBLY exist!
Having said that, the photos are obviously fake, the girls admitted they're fake I think they're probably fake. -

I'm sure that fairies can ruin your life.
Hello? Is there a black hole where a brain should be? BTW: The bible doesn't mention black holes, either. But I guarantee you that they exist since you obviously live in one.
Loved the movieit's whimsical, magical and full of hope that life holds mysteries that are not always explained. In other words, anything is possible (except fairies really being devils come to ruin your life
As far as the bible and it's mention of "demonic posession," this term was readily used to describe persons who were terribly ill. "Filled with demons" meant filled with sickness. This is a historical fact. It had nothing to do with devil-demons, fairies or gnomes. -

Since you (Idealseller) obviosly is no theologican, nor expert in the demonic subject you should be much more respectful to "Overseer 3" in this matter. Yes, I do believe fairies exist, but in that case they are (evil) spirits (or demons)
Of course the girls could have seen angels instead; if so, that much better. But in any case this spiritual creatures are described in the bible, so I suggest you start to study the good Book. Then you will also see that sickness SOMETIMES are equal to evil spirits, according to Jesus himself! Do you really think you know better than the Son of God?! (Also read the story about the multi-possessed man among the graves, where Jesus told the demons (=Legion; -they were many!) to leave him and how they (the demons) requested Jesus to send them into the pigs instead!). These are just a few remarks from a bibleteacher. -

You know, when I read crap like that, I am just so grateful that I am a liberal East Coast Jewish agnostic registered Democrat. -

In Biblical times people didn't know about germ theory and believed that an illness was a demon invading your body as a punishment from God. So you're both right, I guess. Anyway, this movie is wonderful and everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, whether it is based on the Bible or your own imagination or something else entirely.

And in the Hebrew Bible, Satan isn't mentioned, yet you, obviously, have no problem believing that he exists!

"There are no fairies mentioned specifically in the Bible, so I don't think they exist."
Uh.the bible also says that a solid dome covers the flat earth.
It also mentions dragons and unicorns as real. So much for the credibility of the bible. -

I'm a practicing Catholic, but in all fairness, the Bible doesn't mention kangaroos either. As for fairies, (may J.M. Barrie forgive me) I don't believe in fairies. Not to say what's possible or impossible, I do find the idea of these things interesting.

Best "laterosenoonvale" (=meaning what?!)
This movie is very sweet.
A Fairy-tale might be just a FAIRY-TALE!
But there do exist some other creatures called angels.
Maybe this "fairies" in the movie really were
angels
?
Truth is that especially children can be open enough
to believe in the spiritual realm.
Unfortunately not all spiritual creatures are good,
and we are warned against the occult things
some people thrive in. It seemes like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did so.
(So did NOT Houdini !) Nevertheless we need to accept what good things
God has created, but be selective.
Maybe the true story behind the movie was not a fraud, but real ANGELS?!
