Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines

Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.

World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.

This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.

And as usual, the forum rules apply.

      No, sorry, I wasn't clear - I meant the kid.

      Seriously, I don't expect them to be theologians but shouldn't they understand more than they seem to?

        I'm guessing (and you can correct me) that Teal meant that it should be obvious that the Bible forbids occult activity.
        Exactly.

          I understand now what you mean. Kids pick things up much sooner than we expect them to, but just about never the things we want them to.

              depends on the kid. we shelter our girls from a lot of things, my 8 year old would not know what it is about (we probably should have a talk to her about this sort of thing)

                My daughter is sheltered from this stuff too. She has no clue and just thinks Ghosts and Vampires and Gargoyles are things people dress up for on Halloween...... Personally I would rather she stay that innocent. :sniffle:

                  Gargoyle? Isn't that that thing where you have water in your mouth and do these bubbling noises?

                    Gargoyles are either urban trolls who formed a symbiosis with guttering, or pieces of stonemasonry initially brought to life by accident, or perhaps by the standing magical field of the Unseen University. They are mainly filter-feeders, but also consider pigeons to be a particular delicacy, partially out of spite for the birds.
