Hey thanks Kenshin. But which one sounded better? The first or the second? Also I’m asking everyone else this question. Was the idea of monster hunters better or the one when James is on an adventure? I think it would be interesting to have Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael in the story although they are humans, not angels. Although they would be like angels:). I’ll spoil one part for you. James is hunting an evil spirit named Molech. But that part is only a small part of the story.

I’m leaning a bit toward the school setting.

I’d go with the second one, but then, I’d like people to read a comic where an archangel doesn’t go bad and where other major aspects of our faith aren’t grossly misrepresented.
 
We have no idea, Lost Wonderer, what they bring into this world through white magic, and I don’t mean the rabbit out of the hat or illusionist kinds, just by doing it.

Well, it’s like immodesty in anime. Some are more drawn to it than others, though it’s hard to register if it doesn’t have some draw on even a very practicing Christian–enough to lead to other liberties of the eyes.

I think many of those spiritually-charged Catholics think that every Catholic is like them–self-initiating, so they ignore deplorable art, architecture, innovations with the liturgy and music seen at Mass. I only know of a couple from my school (though really any Catholic outside of a relatively small group of a young Catholic group) who remained devout Catholics. Many went along with humanistic notions of social justice. The PJP2 generation experiment largely failed, based on '08, I feel. It’s time clergy enforce the exteriors, music and liturgy that maintained respect in the mainstream Catholic’s subconscious and which the Vatican 2 Fathers advised we keep back then. This may be a digression, but we can’t assume all Christians are theologically-informed and spiritually-on fire and OK exposure to witch characters for others, for example, just because we haven’t gone occult.

Sorry, but I didn’t understand a woooord of that whole thing. 🤷 What point are you getting at? i think I’m missing it

Oh nonsense. The only harm they’ve ever done is to themselves by letting demons give 'em seizures. It is still nowhere of a threat as let’s say Islamo-fascism/terrorism or nuclear weapons in the hands of communist nutjobs like N.K.

At the risk of sounding like James Randi, I’ll believe it when I see it. 😛
It’s the same way I’ll believe in Shadow Games if I actually suffer pain and injury from taking hits to my Life Points.
 
Have you ever considered many spiritually disturbed people (not all them and usually not the ones who used to be in institutions) are the ones causing harm to others in the form of violence from the right, the left and just plain greedy or angry types, sexual assaults, molestations, taking kids to abortions without parents’ consent, exposing kids to erotic talk and imagery with the moniker of sex-ed, etc.? Stores are selling ouija boards in game sections and kids are playing with them unknowing of what effect they have on their soul. Fr. Gabrielle (sp?) Amorth, Rome’s exorcist, even wrote about music played so loud, kids’ minds get undermined. We just had our healthcare and our economy set up for disaster by '60s Marxists who want America’s system to collapse and be replaced by something like Canada’s or worse. NK or Iran is not as much a threat as those setting us up as a sitting ducks for our enemies through the occult and the “evolution” of our nation’s founding principles, without which we’ll eventually lose what rights we had in the first place. If we have terrorist attacks abound, it’s already too late.
 
I STILL don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. The world is full of stupid kids and even stupider parents. This is nothing new.
 
You should read “An Exorcist Tells His Story” and Fr. Amorth’s sequel to it. You may be surprised. Would people who’re right in the soul be doing these crazy, violent or freaky occultic things in a place like America, if they weren’t spiritually disturbed? Who needs the radical Commies and terrorists from abroad? If that’s what it takes to be shocked, we’re in big trouble.
 
OK, I get it. There are a lot of Godless, messed up sickos in the country. But I still DON’T GET YOUR POINT. We KNOW this. EVERYone knows there’s a bunched of f’ed up people in the world

He doesn’t go bad. He remains good throughout the entire story. I didn’t explain the entire sotry because I didn’t want to ruin it. Did you really think I would have characters based off archangels become bad? No.
 
I’m not talking about the 1 of 2 stories, but of other manga and anime.

Following your logic, all of us are in a way possessed (even the slightest) just for the sheer fact that we are sinful. Heck, I’d probably be half-possessed because I’m always cantankerous and have a nasty way with words despite the conservative morals I hold myself to.

In all seriousness though, there is a strong difference between the sad sacks who end up getting possessed and just simply amoral people. Are you implying that evil people do things because they’re possessed? That actually rules out free will y’know. If they’re being controlled by the devil, then how is it their fault? They lose accountability. I’d rather a person be judged evil because that person’s evil, not because he’s Satan’s puppet. I mean it’s like that time when I read about how the Joker never gets the death sentence. The reason: Not guilty by reason of insanity.

Simply put, I do not believe in any supernatural cause behind people’s bad behavior. They’re just bad. Period.

I’m sorry but I’m with the others when I say:

Nani? :ehh::ehh::ehh:

Just so you know, correlation doesn’t imply causation.
 
I agree with foolishmortal. Although I may be a hypocrit because I listen to loud screamo christian metal such as Demon Hunter foolishmortal does make a point. And it’s a disgrace that ouija boards are sold with other board games. I remember when i used to work at goodwill someone donated one and I saw one. I hoped that one day it would be thrown in the trash compactor and thanks be to God it was. You can’t mess with those things.
 
Well I bought Princess Mononoke last night annnnd… I liked it. I watched twice on the same night, once in english and the other in japanese. Some parts of the movie I didn’t understand and I didn’t care for the gore but I’m sure I’d watch this movie again.

They did a pretty good job on the dub! (with minor quibbles).

What parts didn’t you understand? There’s a lot going on, and it’s easy to miss something, I agree. But a great movie nonetheless.

Mononoke-Hime represents the end of a long, long quest for me, and was almost like a gift from God.
