[up][up] It boils down to "sometimes, there is no deeper meaning to something, but people will stick one in anyway."

[up][up]I've never understood why people attach a deeper meaning in cartoons. MLP Fi M, for all I care, is about being a good friend.

Also, whenever someone forces a bigger meaning, why is it always something negative?

[up][up]So many others on youtube agree on that. And I mean christians and non-christians alike.

[up]Because people are like that, alwyas trying to Accentuate the Negative. And if it doesn't exist, make one.

[up][up][up]This. Idiots like those people are the reason no one takes religious folks seriously anymore.

[up][up]But why they Accentuate the Negative is something I really want to know.

So what kind of allegories could you read into MLP? Apart from the obvious ones like the accidental subtext of Feeling Pinkie Keen.

[up][up][up] It's because of these weird, incomprehensible creatures that do strange things for no real reason. They're called "humans".

@all that Christian debate nonsense:

{ye facepalm}

1) My bishop is an anesthesiologist. Furthermore, this guy. Just read that. I know, I know, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints can't exactly be called mainstream Christianity, but it doesn't have its name for no reason. 2) Just because you've devoted yourself to Christ doesn't mean you can't have nice things.

I just don't know what to say to all that, really. I'm sure they mean well, but they must not realize their logic, etc. is faulty.

What's next? The friendship is thought as an analogy for cult meetings?

[up]What debate? The entire thread agreed on them being completely off case. I just found it amusing and sad at the same time.

Yeah, I'm going with Fallen Legend on this one; I'm religious, and I think stuff like that just idiotic. Some people are just incapable of differentiating fiction from reality, I guess.

And yeah, I'm excited for the new intro, if only due to curiosity. I'm also curious about whether the season opener is going to influence the rest of the season; if the mane cast are all famous now it would sure change the dynamic of the show.

I'm a Christian too, and I, unlike these people apparently, don't see the devil in innocent children's cartoons. Harry Potter is also one of my favorite book series, and Pokemon is one of my favorite animes.

What's the beef with Pokemon and religious groups, anyway? Apologize for being off topic but I want to know.

[up]Because Pokemon has evolution in it, and as we all know, evolution is full of evil.

Really... I have no idea.

Oddly enough, when that video was posted in the latest Nightly Roundup on Equestria Daily, the ensuing comments section was one of the most civil and positive discussions on religion I've ever seen anywhere on the Internet. It made feel all fuzzy and warm.

Anyway, here is the finished version of Applejack's music from Fighting is Magic.

[up]I read the comment section, and I agree. It's so nice to see people being able to discuss religion without starting a flame war over it. I mean seriously, given that Jesus himself said that the greatest two commandments were "Love God" and "Love each other", MLP is like the polar opposite of "Satanism". The main messages of both essentially boil down to "Be excellent to each other" *

Anyway, I'm going to stop talking about religion now, because it's only a matter of time before something bad happens. wink

Welp, Ponies are definitely approaching the Touhou-level of memetic and creative critical mass.

I know, it's kinda hilarious that out of all the things to reach the same level of fan creation as Touhou is ponies. I mean, we've gotten sort of numb, but think about it; like a year ago, pretty much all of us would have gone "My Little Pony? That sucks."

How the hell did Touhou get so popular anyway? It was never localized in America, and it's Nintendo Hard.
