Based on broad definitions, I'd say yes: my church. However, I have not been involved in anything else that anyone has ever called "occult". And I attend a fairly mainstream, non-denominational church. We hold the Bible as God-breathed absolute truth. So it's not a cult, in the way that you mean it.HCS said:have you spent any time really absorbed into the occult?
Even before I knew Christ, I didn't believe all the stuff from books that I've read. If our teens can't separate fiction from non-fiction, then we have bigger problems on our hands. Boycotting the books/movies, whether discreetly or via large demonstrations... doesn't actually fix the problem.pie said:Kids will think its cool to be involved in the occult.

I...through a third-person... know of a young woman that is a self-proclaimed Wiccan. She says she's not a witch, but she's wiccan... beleives the whole "mother earth" thing. Would you like to know what drove her away from her Christian upbringings? Christians. All the "you can't do this" "you have to do that" rules and regulations about what she can and cannot read, listen to, or watch... then get burned by a few hypocrites in the church. She decided she didn't want to be like us anymore.pie said:We as a people are starting to be desensitized towards things pertaining to the occult.
I think the counter argument was very relevant. How can we (as a group) justify playing warlocks and summoning demons to do our bidding... and in the next breath slash a book like Twilight?
I'm not directly attacking your opinion of the book, I'm asking a related question: where do we draw the line, and how? who decides where the line is?
