[Disney's The Little Mermaid]

I recently re-watched it and was absolutely appalled. To start with, the whole thing is based on Greek mythology, with Ariel's father King Triton based on Triton, a Greek god. Why should any Christian child watch a movie with a 'good' character who is based on a demonic being?

In the first place, Disney is pure and unadulterated evil. They search out things that are beautiful, rip them to shreds and reassemble them together with their own waste into a sort of horrible mocking kitsch. The one drawback to Christianity being false is that the people who made the Little Mermaid will not be burning in hell for eternity (Hell isn't bad enough for those who made Hercules).

Secondly, Triton is another classical sea god besides Poseidon, as many here have pointed out. In fact, he is the one who is usually depicted in the fashion we would describe as a mermaid.

And lastly, esp. for Canadiest:

"Of course the gist of these reviews is that no Christian children should be exposed to other stories, particularly anything with magic as it makes the Bible dreary and colorless in comparision."

How do you get to be that ignorant? How would you characterize, "God said Let there be light, and there was light." You don't think its physics, do you? Like any book written in antiquity, the Bible is full up with magic from the beginning to the end.

Wow. Better not watch "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" then, if you value your pwecious brainmeats. Why?

Princess Celestia: She = Amun-Ra of ancient Egyptian mythology. Celestia raises the Sun every day; and - unlike your so-called absentee father of a 'deity' - shock-horror: actually appears to her subjects in Equestria!?! Therefore no 'Faith' required.

Princess Luna: Not only the raiser of the Moon (and of course, is the Night [/New Luna Republic]), she can enter the dreams of others.

And Princess Celestia - for an all-powerful God' such as her - even has a creator: 'Mother' (Fausticorn) [/John Joseco]

...oh, and Celestia, Luna - and even new Alicorn (and effectively a God) Twilight Sparkle - even though they have wings too, are Unicorns; oh, and not to mention Twi's companion, Spike. Unicorns and Dragons are mentioned in the Bible, are they not...?!

Enjoy your paradox, Sarah. 20% more of it. /)^3^(\
