Gambling
John Henry, I genuinely want to know why you think animation is against God.

I ask again then, please answer this time. Do you believe gifts are wrong then? Like no birthdays or Christmas presents since you didn't earn those?
THEN WHY DID YOU USE IT?I know the source is not good

What I meant by 'not good' was that it was not a quote. Do you kick at dolls? I guess you have to kick Belle. Besides, a person can get used to evil. For example, a lot of violence or cursing in television - at first it can horrify a person, then the person gets used to it, then the person does it himself. Gifts are OK, but I don't want to get $1,000,000

Then don't use it if it's not a quote.
No, who kicks at dolls?
Have no fear, I will not be gifting you $1,000,000. But why is that unearned money okay and money from gambling isn't?
There is plenty of violence and cursing on the internet.

There are methods of gambling that involve small wins - scratch-offs that earn $1-20 for winning numbers. Are these more acceptable?

2. Animation Characters. Also, one seven-year-old boy watched a cartoon in which the character said "Fire is fun". "He believed it and set his house on fire." The source is from TEPS.
3. Gifts are given occasionally. If gambling would be permitted - I'd say people would not work.
4. Yes, that's why my parents give restrictions on it. We don't have a TV at our home. Nothing wrong with the equipment itself - but, just watch it - filthy. Also, I remember that we did see the news in the TV in Anyang Station when the Sewol Ship sank...
5. Spoon, how much is the limit? $100? $50 $1? $0.01? $75? $20?

One seven-year-old out of the several hundred thousand that have watched animated movies isn't much of an indicator. Extreme cases are not the norm.John Henry wrote:2. Animation Characters.

it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
That's what I'm asking *you*, since you seem to think all forms of gambling are wrong. Is there a limit that would make it acceptable? More akin to a gift?
Also, gambling is 'permitted', it's not illegal. People don't win often enough (or at least not large amounts) to support themselves, or else no one would work.

This is one animated character out of hundreds, and that's one kid out of millions. You can't judge animation on this one instance. If this kid was that un-bright and most likely not being watched by a parent at the time, he could have heard that from anywhere. I mean, there's a ton of stuff on the radio that's bad, but I don't say, "Well, this one thing I heard on the radio once was bad, so therefore Adventures in Odyssey must be just as bad." You can't generalize like that without being incredibly biased.John Henry wrote: 2. Animation Characters. Also, one seven-year-old boy watched a cartoon in which the character said "Fire is fun".

Though I must (partially) agree with you on cable TV. 985% of the channels you can get aren't worth watching for a minute, but there are some shows and movies that I do like.

Have you heard of the Simpsons?
Yes, I have. But again, just because one animated show is awful doesn't mean they all are or that animation is evil.John Henry wrote:Have you heard of the Simpsons?

Yeah, as I understand that Simpson boy swears a lot.
Again just because there's a show that curses a lot on TV, does not mean that all TV shows/movies are bad.John Henry wrote:Yeah, as I understand that Simpson boy swears a lot.

And Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Princess Belle, T.J. Detweiler, Buster Bunny, Avatar Aang, Avatar Korra, SpongeBob SquarePants, Twilight Sparkle, Hiccup, Jack Frost, Merida, and Princess Rapunzel do not. I have named thirteen out of hundreds of animated characters that do not swear or do anything worse than cartoon violence (with the exception of SpongeBob, who kills off viewers' brain cells). You have named one in an adult-oriented cartoon that airs on primetime who swears.John Henry wrote:Yeah, as I understand that Simpson boy swears a lot.

Bugs Bunny is the Devil's Invention (I might be wrong or using STRONG language). Don't you know "Easter"?

*facepalm*
Bugs Bunny is an iconic Looney Toons character. He's grey and white and is always eating a carrot, and teases a hunter named Elmer Fudd who is always trying to hunt him down, but is really dumb. =p
