I don't see it as a negative thing at all I don't really understand why people think it so dangerous if things are done properly
In America, we often have "documentaries", where, more often than not, the purpose of the program is to show that the panel of scientists doesn't know what it's talking about, and instead show that the uneducated prejudices of the viewer are plausible and even true. Advertising is to blame. The programs must pander to the prejudices of the majority of viewers in order to have a big enough audience share to attract advertisers. But whatever the cause, the effect is that you get some fairly uncritical documentaries purporting to prove such things as that Atlantis was real.michel said:

Can someone interested in magical thinking not also have knowledge of science?Seyorni said:
I think a lot of the popularity of "occult" shows stems from the popularity of "Lost". Writers try to emulate things that appear to be popular, but (unfortunately) don't seem to realize that a show usually has to have interesting characters in order to make people wish to keep watching it.
Good point Feathers. What is 'magic' is usually nothing but something which is just beyound the scientific way of understanding things.FeathersinHair said:Can someone interested in magical thinking not also have knowledge of science?

Aren't we humans so clever ?.........
For a practical example of exactly the point I am making.
yes i have noticed this , still the bible says that the whole world is in the power of the wicked one (satan the devil)1 John 5;19 and his aim is to get people interested in things that God does not approve of . cartoons for children are full of the accult no doubt satan is thinking start them young and they will grow up accepting it as normalErnestine said:

Well I've always said that God is a bit closeminded in some areas. The devil is like a parent giving their children pocket money ("Here's a fiver but don't tell your mum or I'll be up **** creek without a paddle") after their partner aka God just threw a tantrum over something petty ("Jesus Christ! Are those kids practicing magick again!!!"). God needs to stop competing for his children's affections, go and get some marriage councelling and then everything will be right and dandy.
I don't mean to say any such thing, my friend. Sir Isaac Newton was a famous dabbler in alchemy, for example.Darkdale said:Yeah... ummm. I'm sure you are right.
