Is reading Twlight a sin?

If it bothers your conscience to read then you are best to stay away. These books have a cult like following and young people who have not liked the series have been brutally attacked by those that do. Now that is a sin.

I have a problem with the whole sex scene in the end - sure they don't /call/ it rape, but it sure sounds like it.
And the whole crazy birthing part that breaks her in half so she can have an undead baby (figure THAT one out...)
It's not a sin, but its a waste of braincells.
Want to read good Vampire books? Try Bram Stokers "Dracula" - or for the more mature reader "Interview with a Vampire" by Anne Rice.

If you're planning to watch stuff like that and you're a Christian, maybe you should check this out.

So would be posting on this forum.
But we all waste time - we all like to be entertained and to have fun.
Humans are playful creatures, and to view playing a board game as a sin, because you're 'wasting time' is an extreme I think. (Not to mention, a way of feeling guilty aaaaalllll the time.)

exactly what it says on the tin
Yech, Twilight.
Reading it isn't a sin. I think Twilight would be vastly improved if Stephenie Meyer a)had an editor and b) got rid of Bella and Edward. It's a pretty good story when you look past all the crap Bella and Edward drag people through.
As for anyone who hasn't read it, it's basically:
Twilight
"I love you! you're my soulmate!"
"I'm a creepy monster! You smell funny!"
"Are you Spider-man?"
"NO! I'm a vampire and I want to eat you! Rawr!"
"I'm not scared of you!"
"ok."
"I LOVE YOU YOU'RE MY SOULMATE!"
"I LOVE YOU TOO!"
New Moon
"I love you! But I'm 18 and you're 17 forever! Noes!"
"I love you anyway, even if you are an old granny!"
"I love you too!"
"But I have to leave you. My family's gotta scram, it's becoming obvious that we don't age at all. So yeah, I never existed. Adios!"
"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" *BSOD*
"Hi Bella! I'm a werewolf! I love you!"
"Jacob! Teach me how to do dangerous Native American things!"
"OK!"
"BELLA WHAT IN HEAVENS NAME ARE YOU DOING."
"Oh Edward! You do care!"
"STOP THIS NONSENSE IMMEDIATELY."
"Edward, how did you get into my head?"
"Uh... Bella? Are you ok?"
"What? Oh... sorry Jacob. I'm jsut going to jump off this cliff now to hallucinate Edward's voice. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"NOOOOOO BELLA! I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU!"
"NOOOO EDWARD! DON'T HIRE THE VAMPIRE MAFIA TO KILL YOU! I'M ALIVE!"
"BELLA!"
"EDWARD!"
"I LOVE YOU!"
"I LOVE YOU TOO!"
Eclipse
"So, I wanna be a vampire, just like you, so I can be with you FOREVER!"
"Uh... will you marry me?"
"No way! that's a huge commitment!"
"MARRY ME. Oh by the way, Victoria's after you."
"Who now?"
"...never mind."
"Ok. Let's have sex."
"LOLWUT. Not until we're married."
"But but but-!"
"Hey Bella, I like you. Let's make out!"
"@#$@ off, Jacob!" *punches* "OWWWW MY HAND"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU JACOB"
"LET HER DECIDE EDWARD"
"Guys, stop fighting over me like I'm some shallow Mary Sue! Victoria's coming!"
"Ok! Hey Jacob, let's all duck inside this tent on top of a mountain in a snowstorm so Bella can freeze half to death and we can settle this love triangle thing!"
"Great idea Edward!"
"GAH IT'S FREEZING."
"Cuddle up with me, Bella, I'm nice and warm!"
"Ok... uh, sorry Edward."
"grrrrrr."
"Hey Ed, now that Bella Sue is asleep, let's talk."
"Get your hands off my girl. This is her choice."
"Ok. I love her just as much as you."
*yaawwwnnn* "Morning, guys. Uh... wait, I can't decide if I like you or you more. Oh crap."
"that's okay. Victoria and her HUGE FREAKING ARMY is kicking everyone's butt, so we have to go down there risking your life to defeat her."
"Ok. GAH EDWARD SHE'S GOING TO KILL YOU" *cuts wrist*
"LOL VICKY JUST GOT OWNED. BEAT THAT JACOB"
"Uh... crap."
"HAVE SEX WITH ME EDWARD!"
"MARRY ME"
"...crap. Ok then!"
Breaking Dawn
"Let's have sex!"
"REally, Bella?"
"It's our freaking honeymoon!"
*sigh* "fine."
"GAH I'M PREGNANT"
"BUT I'M AN UNDEAD VAMPIRE HOW DID THIS HAPPEN"
"I DON'T KNOW BUT I'LL CALL IT RENESMEE."
"...lolwut"
"Hey Bella, I'm back from Canada-WHOA YOU LOOK AWFUL."
"I don't care what you say Jacob, I'm having this baby no matter what!"
"...wut."
"GAH IT JUST BROKE MY SPINE"
"GAH SHE'S PUKING BLOOD DO SOMETHING EDWARD"
"GAH I'LL TURN HER INTO A VAMP SO SHE DOESN'T DIE. WHOOO VAMP CAESARIAN!"
"I'm a vampire! I'm thirsty!"
"Let's go hunting!"
"Ok! omnomnom. That was fun. Wait, where's my kid?"
"Uh... yeah, bout that. Jacob imprinted on her, and she's like, a toddler already."
"Imprinting?"
"He's a pedophile who is destined to marry our 5 day old daughter who is somehow already a toddler."
"Oh."
"Hi Bella, hi Edward! Wanna see Nessie?"
"YOU NAMED MY BABY AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER?! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU JACOB!"
"Oh hey, there's Irina- uh, where'd she go?"
"She went to the Vamp Mafia to report our illegal immortal child! We need a big freaking army!"
"Hey guys, Vamp Mafia here. Irina says you have an illegal immortal child."
"A whosawhat?"
"Eh... never mind. Light the matches."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M ON FIRE."
"Anyway, sorry. Now that Irina can't be an idiot who jumps to conclusions anymore, we'll go back to Italy."
"K bye."
"Hey Edward let's have more sex."
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
so yeah. that's the whole series minus 300 extra pages of purple prose. Seriously.

Willfully exposing one's self to bad doctrine is considered to be sin by some. Some people prefer pious ignorance to examining ideas openly; or as Thomas Jefferson would have put it, blindfolded fear to earnest questioning.

I like the twilight books and from what my wife says there are some good moral lessons in there.

I personally dont beleive that reading or watching movies like twilight are sins. It is for entertainment and fascination of another world within our imaginations...but if u feel convicted or bad for watching it or reading the book, maybe u should stop.

Any kind of entertainment is only a sin if it's a bad influence on you. If it's influencing you in a bad way, stop reading. Figure out where to draw the line for yourself.
For me I don't see anything wrong in that way with reading Twilight, it's just a stupid and boring book. There are much better vampire books out there.
