I feel your pain Cin, except my dad is less religious towards God as he is towards the Republican party. The phrasing is about the same - just substitute ghosts et al with niggers and spics.

Ahhh, to be the offspring of bigots.

Hey Drich - you ever read HP Lovecraft? That was from the 20-30's and they were darker than anything we show on TV now.

The past wasn't all happy-doodles.

You know the mechanism in the brain that allows one to legitimately believe they have seen an alien/vampire/whatever is the same one that allows people to buy into religious "visions"? Oh, the brain~.

Yes I think your father has fallen in to the old trap there, of saying things which are wrong. I find a better policy is to say things which are right. Sometimes I am at a loss to understand why so many people do not follow my fine example of always being correct. It is quite simple when you are about to say something which is wrong, you correct yourself and instead say something which is right. Because I have kept to this, my children deeply respect me, and it must be said why my posts on this forum, are universally greeted with awe and adoration. I think if you told your father that in future he would be better of saying things which are right, rather than wrong, it would be of an advantage to him.

He actualy only makes one poin: That the devil influences the entertainment industry.

If you think thats points - meaning plural - a multiple set of arguments, youre eaven more crazy than he is.

Do you think God influences the entertainment industry?

If not then wouldn't it behoove the being that did to influence it in a way to support his agenda rather than the deity he hates?

You missed you chance to cast that vote by about 20 years.
