READ. THIS. ARTICLE. This lady totally stripped Twilight and left all the teenagers and even adults biting the dust from this lady's feet. Because she totally proved that there's nothing (besides the fact that Stephanie Meyer *so I've heard* is a really good writer) edifying, or "*GREAT*" about Twilight.
I'd really like to hear a teenager's or even adult's defense in response to what the lady wrote about Twilight. I was amazed at some of the stuff I've read about Twilight. And how obsessed people are with it. Even grown ups!
I read a review about (obviously a twilight hater) one of the Twilight books (can't remember what site I read it on..) someone who thought twilight wasn't that great. And that they were sickened at how people are responding to the books. One woman was in counseling because she was SO into Edward that she didn't care for or about her husband anymore.
THAT is ridiculous. TALK about idolatry! If something (be it a book, a movie, music, a song, a toy, clothes, etc.) is causing you to sin and to be idolatrice; if something is causing you to be SO obsessed with it then you need to check yourself and ask why?
- Is it becoming the most important thing in my life?
- Is it causing strife and the destruction of my relationships in my life?
- Is it or Has it replaced God in my life..?
- Is it causing me to sin overall? *or in general if you will*
If the answer is yes to just even ONE of these questions you need to rethink about if it is worth having in your life etc.
