Bionicles? -
01-06-2008, 01:17 AM
My little cousin has recently received a Lego toy called a Bionicle. It is a robot that you put together and use as an action figure.
It seemed fairly wholesome at first, but then I looked at the packaging... It displayed a computer-generated image of the toy shooting a ball of fire. I'm not sure if this is closer to the weapons a good Christian soldier uses or if it's related to witchcraft.
Is my fear baseless, or is it right for me to worry?

Listen, I'll tell you the truth. Then everyone else is going to come in and tell you some made up stuff. It's your choice as to who to listen to.
The toy is harmless. Toys such as Lego, or Bionicle are meant to allow a child to use their imagination and create new things. I guarantee your child will not suddenly decide to take up witchcraft from playing with Bionicle toys. What they will do, however, is have a fun time building and learning about the imaginary world in which the toy lives.
In the end, your child CAN and WILL distinguish fantasy from reality. They'll understand the difference and you just have to allow them some freedom.
Cheers, ultima

Yes, new things like cross-dressers (I have witnessed children putting male lego heads on female lego bodies, then putting on the legs backwards, so that their abomination bends over) and occulist symbols such as witches and dragons.
Lego is made in Denmark, a secular socialist rogue nation which legalized homosexual marriage more than a decade ago. Their toys reflect this anti-freedom, anti-family culture. The only good thing about Lego is that it was used to create the brick testament.
I have not heard of this Bionicle, could you show me some images?
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

Sir, What you say is ridiculous. When children put the legs on backwards on a Lego person, they aren't creating abominations, they're putting two plastic pieces together.
I think you read way too deeply into the acts of children. They are most certainly NOT trying to find different ways to disobey god, and they are DEFINITELY not playing god when they put these things together. And I really don't see how the children's toys of a nation reflects their political standpoint.
And I would also like to ask how legalizing same sex marriage makes a country "anti-freedom".
On the other hand, I am strongly against same sex marriage in our country, but Lego won't turn kids into fags, and neither will Mario.

With that kind of attitude, the terrorists have already won.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Bionicles are fun, my kid plays with them all the time... Not sure if they're against the teachings of god though. Although they do have their own little backstories and histories... A sort of fantasy world. Their colors represent elements...
Red characters are usually identified with fire
Blue characters are usually identified with water
Green characters are usually identified with air
Brown characters (or other earth colors, like yellow or orange) are usually identified with stone
Black characters are usually identified with earth
White characters are usually identified with ice
Although I have no idea if elemental powers are portrayed as witchcraft... They seem like okay little toys, you can't cross dress them or anything.
Although their story I'm pretty sure has a false god... I don't know...

first off, you people are terrorists
second, yeah, they have a God figure, and a satan figure (represented by rocks), tho I sure they were brothers. It plays off of shamanistic mythology, like native american mythos of creation (two twin brothers, one good, one bad. and yes they had a mother; from an island-city above the dome of the sky(full of "god-people" i guess you'd call them), mother falls through, dies giving birth to second son(the bad one), who decides to "go out her side" (like an unassisted ceasarian), animals of the water had created the first land mass at the request of the god-mother. The brothers made everything found on the land, the second brother adding his own personal touch, like thorns on roses and berry bushes)
basically, it's high-tech cavemen heros fighting corrupted creatures and agents of the evil-brother, take that as you will

PLEASE Elaborate! What goes on in your head that would bring you to that conclusion!?
This is outrageous, if I disagree with a pastor from your church, all of a sudden terrorists are winning?
You know what, I think gay marriage should be legal. I refuse to believe in the same things as you. I'll make my own decisions, not what some book tells me to. Congradulations, you've made me reject christianity.

You never accepted Jesus in the first place, troll. Did you really believe that we would be so easily fooled? We got a complete dossier on you from the DOF; you have an extensive record and have been observed dancing skyclad at numerous wiccian black mass orgies. No wonder you support special rights for queers.
Enjoy hell, heathen.

How dare you hurl such filth! I am a True Christian Pastor!! Who are you to call me satan? You are nothing but an unsaved fool, and a girl to boot!
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 7:5-6
I have sent you a bucketful of infraction points, harlot. Watch your mouth.

Nothing like fighting fire with fire is there Zeke, m'boy? Insulting an Administrator? Good call with the double standards.
All I'm saying is that between the two of us you're the one who's going to be burning.
