Hey, we need credible stuff

Strummer521 · 02-11-2007, 09:23 PM

Because they need something nonsensical to do.

You can keep going this is fun.

But if you have some credible homework worthy stuff that would be cool to.

Because of the joy they derive from oppressing and forcing their own views onto others?

Well, fantasy books are often banned because the concept of magic gives people other than God Godlike powers, so it undermines the Christian ideal that no one can come close to what God is capable of. Kind of like when the serpent told Adam and Eve that God didn't want them to eat the apple because they'd be all-knowing like God.
