   This book is so ridiculous that I could only stomach it by thinking of it as a parody. I found it while sorting books out at my husband's late Grandfather's house. He used to be a reverend and judging from the bookmark placement, even he thought it too absurd to complete! It's a particular kind of religious ignorance which willfully misinterprets everything as demonic. This book has it in spades and while I admire the ability to analyse things in depth and interpret scripture, this book was unin This book is so ridiculous that I could only stomach it by thinking of it as a parody. I found it while sorting books out at my husband's late Grandfather's house. He used to be a reverend and judging from the bookmark placement, even he thought it too absurd to complete! It's a particular kind of religious ignorance which willfully misinterprets everything as demonic. This book has it in spades and while I admire the ability to analyse things in depth and interpret scripture, this book was unintentionally hilarious at times and painfully deluded at others. Particularly interesting is the interpretation that God is pure and good and that Pokemon are violent and evil because they fight and do harm. Looks like someone forgot about the Old Testament and the cruelty of God. This book gets 2 stars only because of the hilarious almost satiric content. It dried up after a while though. The pokemon list at the back amused me so the other star is for the nostalgia of the good old 90's original pokemon.
