    I've come from a tarot background and if I even watch a horoscope it sends me right back. Don't do it. Go to church. Pray. Get clean and live x

    It’s one of those discretion is needed situations. The way I am is the things of scary movies don’t scare me more than reality. Call me desensitized but reality is always scarier than fiction no matter how dark. I think we watch scary stuff the same reason we ride roller coasters, adrenaline highs, to think we survived some big event. I don’t know, it’s a big grey area. I always try to watch things that provoke the viewer to think and use the mind to grow in some way rather than some lazy junk like Friday the 13th.

    I respectfully disagree that faith disappears when fear happens... If anything, fear strengthens faith.
    The expression "There are no atheists in foxholes." Comes to mind.

    I’ve watched a lot of Hammer Horror films recently- Ingrid Pitt, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley. Two of these were Catholic. I’ll admit the films can be dull at times. They were often based on the Victorian gothic.

    I disagree respectfully and that’s because I like horror movies in general even though I stay away from certain horror movies but I enjoy horror movies in general. I grew up watching horror movies and liking the horror genre and that is the only genre that accurately depicts Christianity. I also enjoy watching them in general.
    So can a Christian watch horror movies or like the horror genre? I say they can depending on thier personal convictions according to Roman’s 14. It’s not for all Christians and it’s not for everyone and that’s fine but let’s not force our convictions onto other Christians.

      I grew up like that too with horror movies, I had a whole wall of collectibles until I had a medical overdose saw my own body and a man in all black who told me “it’s not your time” I didn’t think anything of it until I went to the hospital because I wasn’t feeling good and they explained what happened and took the medication away and told me I could of died. I felt an urge to go to a church and told the pastor what I saw we spoke and I asked what about my collectibles do I sell them? That night I heard something tell me “get rid of it” I destroyed thousands of dollars got rid of it all, and coming to Jesus I realized I made an idol of it, I had satan as a master, you cant have horror and light. I’m very blessed Jesus saved my life that night otherwise I know my fate would have been hell and I wouldn’t have had the chance to repent. Please repent and go to Jesus, if you continue down that path you’re leading yourself into darkness.

      you made an idol out of collecting what exactly? It sounds like at least to me…that you had more of a health condition that had nothing to do with your collectibles. I’m not judging you at all but people do overdose. Maybe you were idol worshipping your collectibles. I have no clue what you mean by collectibles.
      Were you idol worshipping medicine too? I thought I would ask cause it sounds like you were also idol worshipping medicine too cause you spoke on medical overdose.
      Were you also smoking too cause that also might be the reason why you had a medical overdose and did you idolize it?
      Did watching horror movies cause you to sin or was it something else like trauma that you had?
      Look, idolatry is a sin…you gotta put God first. Also please get better because I don’t want anyone to die from drugs and sounds like you were idol worshipping and I have no clue on what you mean on collectibles but please don’t do drugs and please don’t smoke. If you feel convicted from watching horror movies then that’s should be respected and I do respect that. I thought I would ask cause what you said about your medical overdose sounds like a struggle that you had.
      I’m not gonna change your mind and probably won’t change mine but because of the horror genre, I have a deep appreciation for the Bible because of the horror elements in the Bible especially in one of my favorites chapters in the Bible which is the book of revelation and that the horror genre is like the only genre that has accurately depicted Christianity when it comes to excorisms being depicted in religious horror movies
      I’m not judging you, I’m just asking cause I’m just wondering because Christian’s are divided on a lot of stuff like horror movies and because you mentioned medical overdose and I do hope you stay away from drugs and smoking. I’m not gonna change your mind at all because I don’t want to at all and it’s a personal conviction that you have between you and God.
      I would encourage you to read Roman’s 14 too. I wanted to make sure that I say that too.

      @@amjidhuss1092 that’s absolutely false my dude. Jesus is God. In Christian theology, Jesus is considered to be God incarnate. Now you were also partially false because while Jesus was is considered a prophet in some religions, in Christianity, he is revered as much more than a prophet, but as the Son of God and part of the trinity.
