American Slytherin I just subjected myself to one of the worst blog entries I’ve ever read. Which, knowing the internets, must be pretty bad. As it seems that riling me up is the only way to get me thrown headlong into the blogging process these days, here I am, full of disappointment and irritation yet again, as some well-meaning, but ultimately ignorant and unqualified person attempts to speak the Truth About The Occult, only to unknowingly make a fool out of them self and drive away the souls most in need of conversion. Let me be clear– while I do try to swallow my irritation on most matters, in this case a person is not only misrepresenting the Catholic Church and Christianity, they are further alienating and pushing away many souls that, I rather rashly assume, they would deem most in need of saving and conversion.

I gotta admit, these first two videos are kinda emotional as an invested Marvel Cinematic Universe fan (and Marvel fan in general).  They won’t have the same effect if you haven’t seen Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame , which are not only the two finest MCU films, but among the finest films ever made.  (And yes, I’m 100% saying that as a biased fan!) https://youtu.be/p9MnXkWLe5M https://youtu.be/aiRY36TPVo8 As a fan of the DC Extended Universe – especially of Wonder Woman , the best film in the franchise – I really liked this: https://youtu.be/W_9CcHC3VRs And some compilations I found quite fun as a Harry Potter fan: https://youtu.be/vipmgWMhROk https://youtu.be/i0NGWvkloAY Whether or not you’re a fan, I hope you enjoy these! http://www.cepher.net/?af=59
