I don't really see evidence from either side that proves why MLP may be Satanic or not. All I see are biased opinions from the OP and the people who respond even though the OP asked for responses. Reason why I even asked what the purpose of this thread was if they are definite on an answer to begin with then why would they ask people who chances are at least one person will differ as to how they view the show. I'm not really picking sides other than saying that this topic really served no purpose for anyone other than to start a needless argument.

I'm not denying that there's subliminal messages in shows either, but all I'm really going to say is that for those who say that it is Satanic fail to give proof as to why it is. And what I mean by proof of what is in that particular show display the things you say make it Satanic. So here's one that I think makes it obvious when you say magic is satanic - their title of Friendship is Magic. So the title says magic, but what evidence is there to prove just because the word magic is used then they are practicing an occult? If for example I use a certain brand of soap and it takes out a tough stain that I couldn't get out with the previous I was using, I go and say "This works like magic!" - does that mean I am referring to the soap that it is a material used as part an occult or that I actually used some type of magic to make it work? I don't think so, because it's an expression being used... That's sort of how it's being displayed here. All we know is that it's a word used as part of the title, but that doesn't mean that the friendship deal is actually based on magic itself. So where's the actual proof that they do practice occult-like things within the show? Have any source(s) to back it up? I don't have the answer since I fail to sit and watch an episode because it's not within my interest anyway...

My conclusion... We're mostly adults here, so why are we going back and forth and arguing over a cartoon to begin with? The OP is a bit younger and of course may not understand some things (that said since I'm not that much older, I don't either) so I think if a person insists that what they are watching is not good then try breaking it down as to why it really isn't and it's up to them as to whether or not they'd listen and respond with their side of it. Going back and forth with the 'yes it is' and 'no it isn't' is a stage that we should've passed a long time ago. Otherwise, I really don't know why I'm contributing to something that at the end of the day is pointless to me as well... So I'm out.

Here is one way to see how this works. I have a younger brother and sister. They watched Pokemon, and played the gameboy game. So I would watch it and eventually played the gameboy game, then collected the cards. They all had powers based on earth, plants, electricity, fire, water or air. Then came the TV show and card game Yu-gi-oh. Same concept but now it's an interactive game. Then I began playing the card game "Magic the gathering." Then my friends were interested in real magic, we were of that age where you want something more than a game. God called me shortly after and I escaped. Many of those same people reject Jesus and openly state they worship their own Gods and Goddesses. They never escaped wicca.

Yes, I'm younger but I asked this question merely because I wanted to see how people's minds worked.

And both sides have given examples in the attempt to prove their point. I asked this simply because I wanted to see different beliefs on a small topic.

THAT is foolishness. Enjoying a CHILD'S cartoon is not something that would make a child or an adult want to practice literal witchcraft.

This is exactly what I mean. How can you call what Deadtosin just described as "foolishness" when he gave you first hand experience with these things and what he witnessed?
For many young people it starts out with just a little magic cartoon and then their curiosity is awakened to get deeper into this until it ends up with Dungeons & Dragons and Quija boards, and there is plenty of documented proof that many playing with these witchcraft "games" ended up committing suicide. You personally might not go that route but there are plenty that do. Just because you are not interested doesn't mean it does not harm many other children out there.

And again for everyone else in this thread. A video was posted here that explains exactly what we are talking about, did anyone of you that still demand proof actually watch it before you blame us not having provided proof? smh:rolleyes:

I showed you how it happened. Hindsight is 20/20. Disregard it if you want to, I was there.

take a step back and look at what playing is. In humans and the animal kingdom. It is the adolescents imitating adulthood.

cubs play and pretend to fight and hunt

I only played games I was interested in and I still love them today. I was obsessed with toy guns, weapons and being a cop- a hero. and imitating my father (an outdoorsman and computer guy)

at 10 I was super excited to get my first knife, then as a teen my first gun. I still want to be a cop, and you can read testimonies of me trying to be a hero. ( I am an outdoor guy who loves to fish and hunt and I type 60 wpm) got into the class in 5th grade.

Girls play with dolls, they accessorize- does that not follow them?

there is a very real correlation with games- practice and who we grow up to be. It was an interest that started it and our own imaginations expound on it.

My little brother followed Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh, he never practiced witchcraft but he still plays world of warcraft, loves to be a wizard, his favorite show is "Dr Who" and he does not feel comfortable praying to God. Has no personal relationship with Him despite having direct experiences with God as a child.

I find it laughable how the behavior of 'being right and everyone else is wrong' is still being put into play here and being told that it's evidence when the said evidence wasn't even related to the subject. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to blindly side and say that someone is right and that you can 'smh' because I suggested something that you didn't want to hear.

As far as imitating or practicing certain rituals based on games, I've grown up with kids who are into the whole Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, anime stuff. They aren't practicing any rituals off of them or have I seen anyone doing so. I'm not denying that anyone has, but I don't see the appeal of people who become influenced by such things alone to have them driven to do any witchcraft. Are you sure that there weren't other factors which made you do it? The closest I got when it came to anything that can be dark was wanting to learn about the paranormal. No games, videos or pastime hobbies made me do it since there were some gruesome things that came along with some shows I liked. It was hearing about others with experience that made me want to do it. I don't recall thinking 'wow, I've seen this happen on here, I have to try it too!' :/

You still don't get the picture, do you!? That's exactly what subliminal means. You don't think about it, you are just drawn to certain things. If it wouldn't work corporations for example would not spend millions in research and the implementing this every day!
And further this has nothing to do with being right or wrong, just about truth that has been researched and then passed on, and in the case of the video, it's facts that are presented by someone who came out of witchcraft, who has been dealing with this first hand and is passing on the warnings to to others. Witches would not do certain things if it would not bring any success with their methods, and these witches are sitting at high offices in Corporations and politics and the entertainment industry. But no matter what evidences are presented it's just never enough for some people because they just don't want to see. That is your choice.

Maybe you needed a better quality of friends. I've played Magic the Gathering and D&D for almost 20 years now. So have most of the people I play with. The amount of times the game or anything else for that matter got us interested in practicing the occult? Zero.

It is hilarious though that some people think playing cards or rolling dice are going to make you practice witchcraft. Im so glad we have you..snicker, clearly "mature" believers to warn us of the evils of childrens cartoons and british wizardry novels.

Threre are two types of "magic" in the world.

Incantational- the use of magic, sourced by a precence, or power that already exists (example: the miracles Moses preformed on behalf of God)

Invocational- the use of magic, sourced by the calling in an outside source for aid. (Example: ouji boards, psychic readings,ect.)

i am am inclined to believe that "my little pony" magic is Incantational. As, they do not ask for aid in unnatural sources, or use their magic to harm each other. (With the exception of characters that are clearly the "bad guys" but even then, it was their own bad qualities (jealousy, thirst for power) that led to their evil status) and the most powerful "magic" of all? Friendship. Through the attributes of generosity, honesty, laughter, kindness, loyalty, and the "magical spark" every invocational magic has been banished, in every good vs evil plot.

On the "bad guys" in my little pony: every bad guy in my little pony did so in ruining the natural order of things.

nightmare moon: originally was princess luna who raised and lowered the moon, was the younger sister of the pony princess that raised and lowered the sun, both working in perfect harmony. But soon became bitter and jealous that her subjects loved and played in her sisters warm day, but shunned and slep through her beautiful night. So one day, she refused to lower the moon, and was banished by her sister for disrupting the natural order, balence, and harmony of equestria.

king sombra: used a dark magic to enslave and rule over the crystal empire. Luna and celestia defeated him in order to free the crystal ponies, using the "elements of harmony" (the most powerful organic source of benevolent magic, also used to banish nightmare moon) but in one last dark attempt to keep his power, he used a dark spell to make the entire crystal empire dissapear. His magic was fuled by the fear of his crystal pony slaves.

discord: he is the very embodiment of chaos, and disharmony. He too was defeated and imprisoned in stone by luna and celestia, with the use of the elements of harmony.

lord tirek: stole all the magic in equestria, including the a strength of the earth ponies, and flight of the pegasis ponies. BUT he did not understand or partake in the magic of friendship, so he did not know of the elements of harmony, or posess the qualities needed to use the one true source of power/strength/'magic I'm the world of equestria : friendship.

Also: I find no shame in being a brony (or pegasister) I see no harm in it, unless it clearly is satanic, hurts others, or hurts yourself. Quite honestly, I could be addicted to drinking, drugs, or lots of worse things. I think loving a cartoon is hardly unhealthy. Plus, there are worse shows I could watch.

Magic gets one to practice faith in something other than God.
Even if it's just ..."playing" it is still the practice of ones actions to be deceived in pleasing one master with what we choose to entertain ourselves with rather than pleasing our true master.

It starts with the children, to get them desensitized to what displeases our Lord.
If the children are desensitized, then the next generation of adults is even worse than the last in being blind and even more resistant to hear any truths, if there are any people left by that time to speak Gods truths.

If the enemy can make it look cool, make it look fun, make it a challenge then kids are all about it, even if its practicing mock killing in video games.
In case anybody doesn't remember that show from way back called the smurfs which seemed so cute and innocent,
we should be aware that just because it's animated does not make it innocent...there were actual spells portrayed on the show.
All a child needs to seek further from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is
...an introduction to it.

How many wholesome cartoons are there really on T.V. anymore?

rest assured God is glad He has me. He was the one who called me in the first place. Maybe you should wonder why you mock your brother in Christ who is only trying to help? *snicker? =immaturity.

So now we lead to assumptions as to what I know or don't know, when it clearly has been acknowledged as to what I do know in earlier posts. Is there really any point trying to have a decent discussion with you?

I am not suggesting that it is going to get you to do witchcraft. It is just an introduction. Some will take it further than others. Baby steps.

maybe, but that's not the childhood I was given. I can look back and see with clarity that all of the struggles in my life were to give me understanding to help others. Not all of my friends got stuck there, I've seen friends go from addicted to meth to wonderfully sober christian brothers.

The devil preys on the weak. A child from a broken home will be more susceptible. What leads one person astray may not work on someone else. The devil has many tactics, but the intent is there. The symbols are real and people do get mislead. It's not just that though, midnight said it best. Satans deceptions really are everywhere.
