We can all thank Twilight for all the stupidity going on in books like witchcraft, dead things, the supernatural world, and the devil, :devil2: and when it comes to zombies kids think that zombies are the neatest thing, obviously there vocabulary thinks that neat means blood, killing people and dead things rising from the dead,and when I can hardly stand dead things or scary books
I am not really familiar with Twilight or any other books/movies of that nature. I do wonder why there is a fascination with such things to begin with. I don't understand why people like to be horrified. There is so much true horror and evil in the world and the last thing anybody needs is to bring fictional horror into their minds and homes.
Even in the natural world, there is enough to be worried about. I don't need vampires when I see the devastating effects of enterotoxemia in lambs. That's enough of a nightmare. I have seen sheep get slaughtered by coyotes and stray dogs, and even watching a video of or reading about such attacks causes my blood pressure to go up. Reading about scrapie and BSE and the prion theory is really frightening when you think about the ramifications of infection, how it occurs, the length of the incubation period- and how much we don't know.
All this is caused by the effects of Original Sin- but there's no "evil" or sin in these cases, like there is in murder. The obsession with evil is disgusting, but I don't think that most kids even have a clue, nor most parents.
Kids don't know what death is. They've never seen viscera and blood. They've not seen suffering. If they have, they'd not make it a pastime to watch and read about fictional situations involving it. Life isn't sacred or even respected.
