    Since you have specifically requested a recommendation for a manga that might be good for a 13 year old girl to read, I assume I am within the Christian Forums rules to post this URL: www.SerenityBuzz.com

    Evangelion Angel-XX

    Looking at Saichel, all I can think is "Ye-OUCH!" That's gotta hurt! And I never noticed the happy face death's head on Zeruel before... Buzz

    Be Careful with the word OTAKU

    I was introduced to a Mr. Ohta the other day, a Japanese art school instructor visiting the U.S. When we exchanged cards I asked him, "Not 'otaku?'";) "Oh, no, no, no," he said, then paused and added, "Well, maybe a little..." Buzz

    Azumanga Daioh

    Another AZUMANGA DAIOH fan here. I tell people it's like the SEINFELD of anime -- it's about nothing yet it's about everything. I like Tomo best because she's the most vivacious (even if she is a complete loon!) but I think Osaka in her own weird way is possibly the wisest of the group...

    Perfection?

    Hitler had to keep moving forward; if he ever faltered his own people would have turned on him. He had a belief in his own greater destiny and felt he could pull it off and, if he didn't, then it was his duty to punish the German people for failing him. It was a near thing, WWII. The Nazi long...

    Moral Relativism/Moral Absolutism

    Some situations call for moral relativism, some call for moral absolutism. It is a moral absolute that delibareately harming a person for purely selfish reasons who has done no ill to you is wrong. Stealing priovate property with no intent of reimbursement, for example. On the other hand...

    Is Communism a good form of government?

    Which destroys incentive and encourages corruption. Also, communism states unquivocably that there is no God and that all religions are the opiates of the people. If you don't believe that you're not a communist but a socialist.

    Teen suicide

    More than a few suicides are misdirected anger, a wish to hurt other people by leaving a blot on their lives. Stephen Sondheim's remarkable musical ASSASSINS examines how virtually all American assassins were losers who tried to hurt the world by killing a president. Many suicides are people...

    Perfection?

    The Nazis were many things, but they were not insane. They were deliberate, calculating, and rational even if their hatreds had irrational basis.

    Should Christians participate regularly in outreach?

    Outreach is absolutely necessary. One doesn't have to necessarily be doing the actualy front line stuff, however; one can help an outreach by working in a soup kitchen or helping maintain church property so others may benefit.

    Movies and Nakedness

    Mary Pickford argued that it was a pity sound movies grew out of silent films when it really should have been the other way around. If you ever get a chance, see an old silent movie called THE LAST LAUGH, directed by F. W. Murnau. Except for the writing on a birthday cake, a telegram, and a...

    Cussing bad?

    God and Christ's name should not be invoked frivolously. Damning people or telling them to go to hell is being hateful and judgemental and a display of hubris since only God has the authority to decide who will/will not enter heaven. Calling people rude and vulgar names in order to hurt their...

    killing people

    No, just not punishable by secular law. There's a difference between what is ethical, what is moral, and what is legal. 90% of the time they overlap, but it's possible to be only one or two of the things at one time instead of all three. For example... Committing adultry isn't a crime...

    What is a Christian Movie?

    Oh, no, not by a long shot. Most movies are philosophically contrary to Christian beliefs, and very, very few people in show biz are professing Christians (I oughta know, I've worked as a TV and screenwriter in Hollywood for over 25 years).

    killing people

    Once upon a time dueling was legal, but even then Christians wee not supposed to engage in the practice. Abortion is viewed by many to be a homicide (i.e., killing of a human) but since it is legal it is not murder under the current definition of the law.

    Or you are with my God, or you are with Satan

    There are no pagan gods or goddesses. There is only the One True God. The One True God wishes for all to accept His freely given forgiveness and grace. Some people refuse to do so. Jesus came to save us all. People who go to hell have opted to isolate themselves from God by rejecting His...

    Where do we have the right to judge?

    Not necessarily; it is possible for a society or culture to hold values opposed to Christian values and it is then the duty of CHristians to oppose such laws. For example, it was right for Christians to hide Jews during the Holocaust even though it was against the law of the Third Reich. As...
