If you'll read the books and listen to the TV cartoons based on these toys, you'll soon pick up bits and pieces of magic and witchcraft that are excess and burdensome baggage for our Christian children to carry around. It builds a subtle familiarity with certain practices within spiritualism and satanic cults that can ultimately deaden a child's sensitivity against evil. For example, with Rainbow Brite there are the magical rainbow, unicorns, and other symbols that are used by Satan worshippers, and with the Care Bears there is the special force that emanates out of the bellies of the bears that is able to influence others. All of these are concepts of witchcraft!

Oh no! Not peace, love, caring and compassion! How dare they try and teach that to our kids?
@[b]balom: That picture is great. I laughed my arse off when I saw it.
"Scion:
Not."
I have a friend who has a gay younger brother. He spent his childhood collecting He-Man figures and drawing pictures ( very artistic... ) of HUGE muscular semi naked men.
@Balom Hell's yeah. That should be somebody's tattoo.
And, again, this is another fantastic example of a logical fallacy. This would be a "Slippery Slope." Where doing one thing leads inexorably to something else - that something else being ridiculously removed from the first thing.
Surely a candidate for the fundie word re-definition project?

@Blackvoice:
Yes, we need a new series of bible themed toys.
Nail-him-up-Jesus, for instance.
Any other suggestions?

"Turned him" ?
If you'll read the books and listen to the TV shows based on religion, you'll soon pick up bits and pieces of lunacy and bullshit that are excess and burdensome baggage for our secular children to carry around. It builds a subtle familiarity with ignorance within science that can ultimately deaden a child's sensitivity against stupidity. For example, with creationism, there's the idea of talking snakes, unicorns, the earth is 6,000 years old, man lived with dinosaurs, and a global flood occurred. All of these are concepts of bullshit!
Wanna hear about a real danger to children? A group forces their beliefs on the children from the day they're born. They force them into marriages later, the bride usually doesn't have a choice. One of their members was known to molest little girls as a teenager. A cop later found with child porn defended him.

Wait till Kay hears about "MLP:FiM".
So making friends must be Satanic, if Twilight Sparkle can no less than ascend to the equivalent of an equine god - an Alicorn - via the emergence of a new form of magic: Friendship.
And the other Princesses: Celestia = Amaterasu/Kwannon. Luna = Diana/Artemis. Cadence = Venus.
And if the Spirit of Chaos Discord can be reformed by just Fluttershy alone: by the power of Friendship, then frankly your 'God' = Tirek.
To Tartarus with him, I say!
Yeah, it’s a real problem for CHristains.
Of course, after they’re insulated against magic, when you tell them Jesus fed a horde of people with fish, they’ll say, ‘Yeah, my head canon is that he mixed Animal Summoning II with Flame Strike and produced a rain of cooked fish. Makes you wonder what his WISDOM stat was….’
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
