I some young children's toys and books in Wal-Mart that looked pretty demonic:
-several books about dragonology (yes I know dragons could've been real animals or dinosaurs, but they also can represent Satan and demons, this is in the Bible)
-action figures of different types of dragons, and one was called the Cockatrice, It looked like a cross between a dragon/reptile and a bird, it was bright orange/red
Cokatrice is a demonic spirit that lays an egg of bitterness, and the person that it is laid in becomes bitter, infecting other people with bitterness-Kimberly Daniels, "Clean House, Strong House" (not a direct quote
It's so demonically sick the toys and books for CHILDREN that are made, and these were displayed right out in the open.
We need to pray that these people be stoppped in producing such sick toys, and especially that God would protect children from getting these.

Wiki knows (most) all.
Then again, if you had read the Harry Potter books you might have known that :p
This guy shopped at Wal-Mart and thought he saw something Satanic?Waves at Flumadiddle .> Hi again. I got here from the SAB.
This from someone who worships a magical zombie? And yes, they are toys for children. That's because dragons and other mythical creatures are fun to imagine, and some of us like the idea of encouraging a little creativity in kids. Nobody thinks these things are real, except for nuts like you, and there's absolutely nothing Satanic about them.
*eyeroll*
Since god has done a piss-poor job of protecting children (or anyone else) from disease, natural disaster, war, etc., etc., why expect it to "protect" them from toys?
And g-21-Ito, all accounts I've read(excepting Harry Potter) require the cockatrice/basilisk to look at you, not the other way around. Not that it's important. That was just one thing that irritated me about HP. :) Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! Well, or at least she may become one of the legendary she-geeks. :P
Why doesn't your god just set all those books on fire if they are so offensive to him.
I want that Cthullu plushie!
Apparently fundies are so used to taking the fiction in the bibble as god-given truth that they can no longer differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Kimberly Daniels stole the name "Cockatrice" for that hack job. The cockatrice (species name, there were supposed to be more than just one unique monster) is a variant of the basilisk, which was believed to turn victims to stone just by looking at them. It's a scary monster, but nothing infernal in nature. Not a demon.
Yeah--can't have those kids using their imaginations, now, can we? Better ban dragons and give these kids GOOD toys--like toy guns, toy knives, toy bows and arrows....
How come Fundies have no problem figuring out that a fictional universe is fictional (e.g. Star Trek), EXCEPT when something in that fictional universe resembles something in the Bible (e.g. spellcasting or dragons) -- at which point they assume it's REAL and will lure their kids to SATAN?

But if the little tykes are not polluted with the whole Jesus fable, then they can live a life without ever knowing about "Satan" or "Demons". They can just enjoy Barney for who he is. Warm, purple, fuzzy, and soft. And they can learn to treat others with courtesy and respect willingly, without "biblical" coercion. It makes me laugh. Fundies claim we must steer a "moral" course lest we fear punishment by "Jesus" or possession by "Satan". The rest of us are just try to be nice and decent, because we feel instinctively that it is the right thing to do. We don't need a "Jesus" pointing a gun to our heads. You know, don't you, that Christians did not invent "nice". There were plenty of nice people in the world long before your religion was invented by mere mortal men of the middle east.
Short definition of Christian: "Do unto others, because if you don't Jesus is going to take your "mansion" away and toss you in a lake of fire." Wow. How sincere. You need a carrot and stick. That sort of control sounds like the work of a "devil" to me.

Oh, aintzaJain, if only you knew of the evil ones kept under the counter . . .the Real stuff we're infecting your spawn with. Heh heh hehhhhhhhh
The "turns you to stone" version of the basilisk is the mild modern version. The original was so venomous that birds flying overhead dropped dead, rocks it crawled over split, and the land for miles around turned to desert. Its glance could kill, sometimes its hiss as well. If speared by a horseback rider, the poison would travel up the spear and kill not only the rider but the horse as well!
Also: the Bible only identifies dragons with the devil once, in Revelation, and I doubt anyone's selling 7-headed 10-horned toys. Elsewhere (e.g. Micah 1:8, Malachi 1:3) the Bible speaks of them as simple scary animals in the wilderness. (Some think the word, tannin/tanninim, should be translated "jackal". Apparently it simply means "big scary creature.")
Yeah, we wouldn't want to give the kids toys that give them bad ideas, would we.
Give 'em Barbies instead.
Is it really allowed to be this stupid?
Dragons are fairy tale creatures, dumbass!
I think Cabbage Patch dolls looks really demonic. Barbie dolls and My Little Pony dolls aren't natural either.
Fucking cockatrices aren't demons, but they still piss me off. I accidently ate one of thir eggs yesterday and died. So fucking close to the castle. I mean, that's not that special, but I've never gotten there before.
Fucking cockatrices.
Rest of your post is bullshit though.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
