While this little second-grader enjoyed the movie, there was something about it that bothered her. She commented that the Care Bears seemed like God. They were up in heaven and knew everything, like God did. And when the Bears concentrated their energy into the 'Care Bear Stare' to change something, it was 'like a counterfeit miracle . . . kind of like the magicians in Pharaoh's court.' Very discerning for a second grader!

You know that baby's toy where you have to fit colored pieces of different shapes into corresponding slots? I bet these people would confiscate the triangular pieces due to deeming triangles to be an Illuminati symbol, and the toy therefore part of a scheme to brainwash babies into worshiping Satan, etc.
Hell, maybe they'd confiscate the square and circular pieces too, because squaring the circle is a Masonic ritual, blah, blah...
And again: Gods, ficticious magical beings and supernatural powers precede your Bible by thousands of years. It can be argued under such previous myths that your God and Jesus and their acts are "counterfeit miracle".
ALL of the others have as much validity.
Relax johanna. The Care Bears move was NOT about leading kids to the occult or replacing your god. It was about getting kids to whine to their parents to buy care bears merchandise.
Now then, what have you got against capitalism?
it was 'like a counterfeit miracle . . . kind of like the magicians in Pharaoh's court.'
Of course, because uttering words of supplication to a deity (verbal component), combined with kneeling and hand gestures (somatic), and props like crosses and holy water (material) is totally different from a D&D spell! Moses even had his snake staff. A discerning second-grader would have picked up on the fact that the whole thing was fiction, but since you've filled her head with the idea that magic spells are a real thing, she parrots the ideas back to you.
Once again, fundies are valiantly fighting against the soul destroying diabolical plots of fluff of nothing children's cartoons.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are surely even worse, with their pagan eastern martial arts and all.
What's next? The Smurfs, ThunderCats, Voltron...? Who knows what would happen if we let her watch those, right?
EDIT: The book was written in 1989. Removed "80's" from "diabolical plots of 80's fluff of nothing". Otherwise my post still stands.

Wait a minute here. Your name... It looks a lot like bears with the letters slightly rearranged, and you obviously care about this issue because you took the time to respond, therefore you're one of them! One of the Carebears. The Ilerminaty...

When I was in second grade, I was getting very suspicious of that Moses story from my Children's Book of Bible Stories. Why did God keep hardening Pharaoh's heart over and over again? It didn't make any sense.
Little did my fundie aunt know when she gave me that book that she was creating an atheist. I would have thanked her once I was older, but she had, unfortunately, gone completely batshit.
Or it could be using Christian imagery in the same way as CS Lewis did.
If your faith is threatened by the fucking Care Bears , your problem is not the Care Bears, it's your faith.
Only a pathetic, cowardly Fundie would be intimidated by fucking Care Bears. I thought your god was supposed to be all powerful? He can't hold his own against Snuggle Bear? Or is your faith just so weak that you're afraid you'll give in to the wicked temptation offered by Sunshine Bear? Oooo naughty....
Yeah because Heaven is up in the clouds in our atmosphere.
You fuckers see Satan everywhere (except in your mirror, where he really dwells).
@Qazamir McSmarty Britches:
It's funny you mention Smurfs, Thundercats, etc. I had a fundy aunt and uncle who saw the debbil everywhere and often ridiculed the Smurfs, Thundercats, and Transformers as Satanic...not to mention every band we liked at the time and most especially Dungeons and Dragons.
I want to laugh but it's rather sad people actually think like this.
"While this little second-grader enjoyed the movie, there was something about it that bothered her. She commented that the Care Bears seemed like God. They were up in heaven and knew everything, like God did"
Twilight Sparkle. Before, a mere Unicorn pony.
Now an Alicorn princess, a la Celestia & Luna: the Goddesses of the Sun (Ra/Aten) & Moon (Diana/Artemis) respectively.
And as Princess Twilight reads a lot, therefore...!
"And when the Bears concentrated their energy into the 'Care Bear Stare'"
Meh. Not even they could look down upon a Cockatrice, neigh, reverse it's powers a la Fluttershy. /)^3^(\
No wonder a sizeable proportion of "MLP:FiM"'s original target audience are those known as 'Bronies', if a mere girls' cartoon series can make one think , eh John Michaelsen...?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
