Not to mention beastiality. Because she falls in love with you know, a beast. Who just so happens to have a remarkable resemblance to the baphomet (this thing occultists worship) to boot.

It’s a 200 year old+ fairy tale. The Beast is metaphorical and symbolic.

She didn’t do the deed with him.
 
I can see what you are saying Pup, but it still rubs me wrong. It doesn’t matter how old it is, the Litanies of Satan by Charles Baudelaire were written in 1857 in a collection of poetry The Flowers of Evil. Just because something is old doesn’t make it innocent. The use of magic throughout the story is enough to give me pause. And she’s not crushing on and dancing with a metaphor or a symbol of a beast, but as far as she knows, an actual beast. Minus the moving score, singing, and romance it’s a weird story to tell to children, as some fairy tales are. She may not have done the deed with him, but it’s implied that she was willing to at some point, because according to the story she didn’t know he was a man or ever going to turn into a man. So… We see it differently, that’s cool, Peace!
 
It’s a story.

In the story, the beast is a metaphor, and none of it is real because it is a story.

No. Just no.

Is “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” also bad?

Have a good night.

I wouldn’t watch it, no.

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev 21:8 RSV-CE

I see a trend of people trying to make things and people that God calls evil, they try to make them seem cute, harmless, funny, loveable, etc. I think it’s a trick so I stay away from it.
 
It’s a cartoon with Mickey Mouse. A short within Fantasia. Made about seventy years ago.

I wouldn’t cite it as a modern trend.

I drew that conclusion based on this:

I drew the wrong conclusion.

However, it is a cartoon with Mickey Mouse. Nothing satanic. It’s a kid cartoon.
 
Just because these cartoons are aimed at children, and just because they are animated with characters like Mickey Mouse, does not mean that they do not contain themes that go against what God says. He says over and over in the Bible to have nothing to do with magic. I showed you in Rev 21:8 where sorcerers are a lake of fire level offense. So, they can invent the sweetest, cutest, most loveable sorcerer character in the world, but that doesn’t make it pleasing to God. If God says to stay away from it, then it is for my own good to stay away from it.
 
I don’t recall God telling me to avoid Mickey Mouse, as he’s not a real sorcerer. There’s nothing horrific about Disney overall.

They glorify and promote things, like magic, that in real life will send people to the lake of fire. I agree to disagree. Goodnight!

No more so than the original fairy tales did when they were told hundreds of years ago. If anything, they are cautionary warnings against dabbling with magic. The evil witches amd characters usuallly meet appropriately unhappy ends.
 
This hardly needs to be said, but watching a cartoon in which magic is depicted is not the same thing as actually practicing witchcraft. If I watch Star Wars, I don’t thereby become a Jedi Knight.

I guess it could be problematic if you have a kid who has trouble differentiating between entertainment and reality, but it literally never occurred to me when I watched “Fantasia” as a kid that it was anything other than a cartoon, meant to entertain but not be taken seriously.
 
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice could actually be a morality tale on what happens when you use sorcery.

Mickey uses magic and then bad things happen.
 
How many degrees of separation are required? If I give money for goods and services, that is the full extent of my transaction. If I make a donation to Disney that is an entirely different matter.

Do I really have to check up the complete ethic of every single business I transact with? Or am I just supposed to target specific ones that are easy and annoy us?

It is easier to find the devil in a major corporation.
 
but promoting it as normal has never happened in a kids film before in disney. When I was a kid I didn’t really know people were gay.
 
yeah, i mean, looking at my grandparents upbringing/generation it just wasn’t a “thing”. If homosexuals are called to be chaste, then why do we need to make a big hoohar about people being homosexual. It’s just better off being private and something personal.
 
I went to Disney last year all the time. We had season passes. We ignored a lot. I think Disney is a lot like everyday life. You honor God with whatever you are doing. Your work. School. Whatever it may be.
 
I’m unfamiliar with this source and can’t speak to its reputability, but I did find this article on the topic helpful. http://www.hprweb.com/2012/09/avoid...vil-keeping-your-nose-clean-in-a-dirty-world/

So you pay Disney admission, 1-3% of that goes to Komen, and 1-3% of that donation to Komen goes to Planned Parenthood. I am not seeing formal (direct) and material cooperation with abortion.

A more seasoned CAFer can probably explain it better than I can.
 
First of all, are you speaking of the Susan B Komen foundation?

If we cannot do business with anyone who has made a donation to a non-profit that has practices we oppose, then get off the internet, don’t use the telephone (even those that tell you they are "pro life providers’, they simply re-sell the big carriers). Weave your own cloth from cotton and flax that you grow from the ground, don’t drive an automobile.

Riding the Magic Tea Cups is literally the remotest of remote cooperation.
