I've been watching Buffy for about two years now, and I must admit that I really enjoy it. But I really question whether it is suitable for Christian viewing? I especially really love the dialogue of the characters. There was a lesbian element which really made me uncomfortable, and there is a bit of magic as well, but is it that different to an RPG game like Diablo or Baldurs Gate? Anyway, the supposed last episode ever is on next week so I won't have to worry about it for much longer but I'm interested in your views. |

Would you watch it if Jesus was with you. Ask yourself that and you'll have your answer. Simple.  --D-SIPL ------------------ |

the lesbian element made you uncomfortable Jas? can't understand why, still as I didn't see the episode you're referring to, I suppose I can't comment

If only life were that simple, heh?..If Jesus were among us in the flesh everyday, I doubt that we would even go to the bathroom, cut the cheese, play sport, watch any television at all.  Does anyone watch it and have a view? |

I wouldn't watch it just because of the quality, from the little I've seen it seems to target the pre-teen/younger teen market. To me, it was just a boring piece of fluff. As for content, the pieces of episodes I saw left me feeling uncomfortable anyway, though I can't remembe the specifics for this reaction, just that I did have that feeling. |

Amazing Jas  you already said that you have been watching Buffy for 2 years. Do you think that because of doing that you are less of a Christian? I found this great Christian Ethics webpage
quote: This is one quote from the ethics page. Well, all I can say is that my daughter is totally addicted to Buffy and she is a fine upstanding person (mostly
quote:the answer to that: probably not and at the end of the day D-SIPL is right but if you remember the chat we had on the TEN COMMANDMENTS - think about what Krylar said THEN!
quote: talking of KRYLAR! The man is coming to the UK in only a few days !!! YEAH IT'S TRUE, check out the masssive 19th August visit HERE!! well it's in Doncaster so I don't think I'll be able to make it any other opinions on the whole buffy phenonemon ?? ------------------ |

I don't know really but I was wondering about Dawson's Creek, I'm sort of worried about the dude with blonde hair. As you may know he's main character in old Christian movies, such as Second Glance and many more, he's goanna have one come out soon to. I'm worried about him being on the show for obvious reasons. Also im wondering why the brunette looks so familiar. About Buffy, I'l watched it a few times. And the Lesbian is REALLY a bad thing that they put in but if you think about if it didn't have that element it might be slightly more demonic. Personally I don't think we should watch it at all. Don't fall for the show just cause it has some cute girls. Do whats you think is right. And please provide me with info on Dawson's Creek sense i've never seen it. ------------------ |
I always fancied playing the buffy game but AFAIK it is yet to come to PS2 (oops! I just checked 
) 
apart from that I am ferrying my missus from her mum and dad then too (thrills! 
)
