The Narnia ad ----

OK - I got to ask. It seems like everybody I know is anti-Harry Potter because he is a "wizard" (actually he has NOT accepted the church of Wicca, witches and wizards in HP are just genetically different - and the whole series is a wonderful allegory of the story of Christ).

So - if Harry is evil because of the "W" word - why is the whole Christian community coming out in favor of the Lion the WITCH and the Wardrobe? To be consistant - anything with the "W" word should be evil.

This happened before with the Lord of the Rings. To me it was one improbable monster after another, and the "good" and "evil" sides all used the same methods to achieve their ends. Nothing Christian in it that I could find at all. There is 100 times the scriptural content in Harry Potter (don't take my word for it - watch the movie).

So is the Wizard of Oz evil? Other allegorical stories of Christ and the church like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White?

It just seems like there is a board of really ignorant people out there arbitrarily decided "this is good" and "this is evil" without ever bothering to research their material at all. Otherwise, Harry Potter would be in every church - I am surprised the schools allow it in because it is so blatantly Christian.
 
Re: The Narnia ad ----

I haven't ready Harry potter.

But I saw one of the movies. It didn't seem "Evil" to me at all.

Not dark. Just campy and kind of fun like the Wizzard of Oz.

Maybe I'm missing something.

OH, BTW...this has nothing to do with radio.

Re: The Narnia ad ----

C.S. Lewis was one of the great Christian apologists of the 20th Century. His works (Mere Christianity, Till We Have Faces, The Great Divorce, et al.) are some of the most literate and powerful books of all time. His fiction is not only brilliant story telling, but full of Allegory. Lewis himself did not hide it. I could go on for pages and pages but for example late in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the might lion Aslan gives his life on the stone table to save the young boy Edmund, who had been enslaved by the White Witch. Aslan later rises from the dead, to help overthrow the Witch.

If you can't see the difference between Narnia and Potter. I'd suggest you pick up any one of Lewis's books. There is definatly a diffent.

Maybe you should go to a more intelligent board, more worthy of your great mind :)

At least somebody noticed that...
 
But if that happened, where would the entertainment value be? :)

Re: The Narnia ad ----

Hey - Radioelizabeth asked for an INTELLIGENT conversation. I think the last dozen threads on here have demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that we cannot have an intelligent - let alone civil thread on radio format related topics.

Well, I think seriously intelligent conversation might be wasted ( :) ), but I'll toss in a couple of thoughts.

First, I'll paste what I wrote (coming really late after not checking this page out for a couple of weeks) on the Martha/Delilah thread down below:

> I notice the syndication of KCMS Seattle evening personality
> Martha Hadley's "Sharing Life Together" program is a major
> success. Many times while reviewing Christian music station
> websites I see her show being featured in the evening.


Two things:

1. Where two agree, one is unnecessary. I could be wrong, but I am of the belief that many Christian AC stations are already beating the Delilah stations...why duplicate the programming?

2. Delilah's a Christian who has an excellent platform from which she can direct people toward the things of God and introduce many others to our music. Why, exactly, are we wanting to damage her?


In the big picture, I don't get it.


And, second, I'll ask:

Why am I apparently the only one who thinks Paul Colman's "The One Thing" should be a big hit??
 
> Why am I apparently the only one who thinks Paul Colman's
> "The One Thing" should be a big hit??>


The only comment I have on the Martha Hadley topic is: she needs a better photo and website to support her show.


I DO agree with you...Paul Colman's song is a hit...it has just not been a proven hit through adds and spins (unfortunately).
 
>
> Why am I apparently the only one who thinks Paul Colman's
> "The One Thing" should be a big hit??
>

So many songs, so little time...

I liked "The One Thing." I think it could have placed top five with the right timing and promotion.
 
I think Radio Elizabeth askes a good question. My view on the problems that tend to keep the more serious (intelligent) discussions from happening here What one person considers to be an intelligent comment may be considered to be an idiotic comment by someone else( One man's music is another man's noise). The problem is that rather than commenting on the original comment so as to have a discussion and treating each other here with respect as Christ would (Do unto others as you'd want them to do unto you), the other repliers attack the lack of intelligence (as they perceive intelligence) of the original writer or other such degrading comments which essentially ends up causing that particular thread in being like a verbal food fight. After a while, you find it just isn't worth taking the time to come here to read much less to post.

That is a sad commentary for a "Religious Radio Board" that supposedly is made up for the most part by people who claim to be followers of Jesus. So maybe the question should be rather than, as Radio Elizabeth suggested, can we have an intelligent discussion, to can we have a civil discussion where the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. All ideas welcome. No one is going to be the "spelling or grammar police" and attack a person for their lack in these areas. And if the topic drifts off of radio, so what, it will eventually get back on to radio if the "food fight" doesn't start. We all need to be less critical and be more forgiving and generous with Agape Love.

If a person finds a thread, not to their liking or interest, or below their intellectual level thus not being worthy of their time, then don't read it or respond. In my opinion, these sorts of things would possibly bring some new "voices" to this board and hopefully bring the level of discourse to a higher level.

You mean comments like this help this board, by putting down others whose comments or opinions you find below their intelligence?
Quoting "Is there ANYONE reading willing to have some seriously
> intelligent conversation".

I say the ones who scream the most about others on this board and their lack of intelligence are the ones who value themselves a little too much. We may not agree on everything or understand each other,(we really don't know much about each other) at times we may "jab" each other but we should never attack each other or put each other down personally. The above remark came from frustration of another topic and is a put down to all of those who shared their opinions or experiences.
 
If you re-read my comments, I think you'll find that I, addressed this, but I was trying to be diplomatic about it and not attack anyone, including the original sender, but yet make my point.

>>So maybe the question should be rather than, as Radio Elizabeth suggested, can we have an intelligent discussion, to can we have a civil discussion where the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly.

I agree with your point:

All I can say to that statement is, Amen !
