      I am on the talk religion course-miracles group that keeps getting cross   
   posted  to other groups for some reason.  I think Sidney (for one) gets   
   bored with just one group. Some of the other groups look interesting,   
   themselves, but also seems to be so much fighting and personal attack stuff   
   going on.   
     On the same topic I think the Twilight books are inspired, too. if nothing   
   else they teach about the power of LOVE and how we don't have to see   
   differences, and enemies and not get along. Though of course the "nice"   
   vampires in it also had no so nice enemies.   
        I came across a TV show one night on the "Trinity Network". It seems to   
   be a Catholic Channel. One woman has a weekly show, she is kind of uptight   
   with short, straight white blonde hair. To me, she comes across as   
   delusional LOL She was talking about the Twilight books (I'm sure she   
   already did Harry Potter) and how they are works of the devil and   
   programming young girls to give their soul to "the devil".  I gues she   
   totally missed the idea of it being a LOVE STORY and everyone (at least the   
   nice vampires and werewolves) trying to have peace and get along.   
      She was all excited about this, her eyes  gleaming as she talked about   
   it. How the author, Stephenie Myers woke ffrom a dream about Bella and   
   Edward in a meadow. One a young girl and one a vampire.  of course the devil   
   had put this idea in her mind when she was sleeping.   
       I see people like this (blonde woman) and think "get a life". But, she   
   seems to have people who believe her she has guests on who agree and join   
   her in it.
