So reading about a vengeful God who smites people is in no way scary to a kid? Or how about a God who talked to people and told them what to say. The bible stories are just as fantastical and more brutal. I would think you would raise your kid to know fantasy from reality.
This is a different lane than your other post. Would you like to debate whether Christianity and religion is stupid as a whole or whether allowing your kids to indulge in media the Bible condemns as witchcraft is against its teachings? They're separate discussions. -

I am not going to say any ones beliefs are stupid. As i said in my other post there are more important things going on in the world then to worry about a made up story.

No, I wouldn't let my kid watch slasher films either and if I was Christian I wouldn't allow Hollywood to mesmermize them with stories about witchcraft. The Bible is very clear about it. I'm not Christian and I suspect you are not either. But if you believe the Bible is the word of god it clearly condemns it.

No one is advocating witchcraft. That is where this whole debate falls apart. I don't see the Author telling anyone to do it or worship the devil. It is a fantasy novel and nothing else. I think there are more important things in the world going on to be upset about then a made up story.
What about movies which glorifying adultery? There are plenty of those. Should Christian kids be indoctrinated by Hollywood that adultery is sexy and glamorous? Media has a strong influence on viewers. I wouldn't let my kids watch homophobic trash. And I don't expect Christians to let their kids watch movies which glamorize adultery and sorcery.

If your kids are looking up to movies and the people in them for guidance that is a problem and the fault of the parents. You should be their heroes and teach them who the real heroes are out in the world. Your question has nothing to do with religion. It is a people thing no matter what God we do or don't believe in.

Like I said RUDE! Now let me return the favor and tell you to go fuck yourself and have a nice day
In the long run brutal honesty will serve you far better than the social media platitudes you live your life by. -

In the long run it would serve you well to not make assumptions about people and act like a condescending twat. Go peddle your b.s. somewhere else.
See? You've already taken my advice and are now doling out a helping of your own. At this rate you'll be thinking for yourself in no time. -

It depends upon the age of the child. You don't allow impressionable children to be indoctrinated into ideas which are opposed to the values you're teaching them. Once you have given them a firm basis on ethics, when they're a teenager, they're free to explore. But if I was a Christian no way would I let a 10-year-old think sorcery is fun and fine when the Bible says sorcerers should be put to death. Do you not see the glaring contradiction? Stand for something for chrissakes.

No one is talking about letting little ones be exposed to anything. I just assumed we were talking older kids.
10-year-olds read Harry Potter. I would let my ten-year-old read Harry Potter. But I support any Christian who doesn't want their children to read it.

I think you’re playing a bit of devil’s advocate here. Yes media has influence and we would all be naive to think it doesn’t. The bottom line is , it’s not the media’s responsibility to protect the sensibilities of your kids.
The only people responsible for teaching children morals are their parents.
