Even if they do go to the amazing effort to research, how could one expect them to apply those themes to the series if they don't sincerely believe them? It's like expecting someone who's Muslim to churn out a series that's spot on and sincere about the tenets of Buddhism. Not trying to be contrary, of course, I'd sincerely like to hear.

Pro-Christian would be an anime that would exampify Christian themes or virtues.

Well, besides the fact that I'm a big fan of this anime (meaning that I'm biased), I'd say that there are a lot of Christian virtues that are presented in this anime, with the main character, Sonic , being one of animes best role models. Here's why:
1. He never complains...He rarely get's mad...
2. He lets tomarrow worry about itself...
3. He uses his skills and abilities to help others...(though this is a common hero thing)
4. (Big ONE) He doesn't show faveritism towards any of his friends (even though some of them would like to spend all their time with him...mainly Chris and Amy). And he's not one that'd you'd call a loner...
5. He's always encouraging others, instead of tearing them down...
6. Dispite his carefree atitude, Sonic shows constantly that he cares for each of his friends...
Sad thing is, Sonics' not even a Christian... ...Yet, he has a better attitude and shows more concern towards others then most Christians...

Perhaps he is.

Kokoro Daisuke wrote:Except a lot of 'Christian' themes and virtues that don't involve salvation through Christ aren't really exclusive to Christianity. So while you could call a series like that moral or whatnot, I don't know if you could label it 'pro-Christian'.

Full Metal Alchemist?
I certainly hope not....that would be one skewed view of Christianity.
Animus Seed wrote:"Sin has consequences, man should not play god, sin must be atoned for, and greater love hath no man than laying down his life for his brother/friend"?
How is that skewed?
Mitsukai wrote:The use of alchemy and blood magic doesn't seem very Christian in my opinion.
Alchemy is related to Necromancy, Esotericism and Taoism, and has been referred to as the "bridge between witchcraft and science".

Clearly, this little forum isn't a good fit for me.

Mitsukai wrote:I'll happily go back to my favorite secular anime forums, because the people there are nicer, and also because I expect them to know nothing of religious matters.

Hey, whatever battens down the hatches.

Fish and Chips wrote:FullMetal Alchemist actually isn't particularly Christian-esque outside of the influence of Dante's Seven Deadly Sins, and perhaps certain moral values. The religious issues therein reflect most religions in general.
Mitsukai wrote:Yes, I read your rebuttal, and probably would have gotten a lot more out of it if it weren't for you insulting my intelligence by posting a link to the wikipedia article regarding communion.

I disagree with so many of the people here...and since religion is the one thing I feel is worth arguing about, I would just cause a bunch of trouble.
