Should Christian kids play with Bakugan?

Answer 1

The decision for Christian kids to play with Bakugan toys ultimately depends on the individual family's beliefs and values. Some families may see no issue with their children playing with Bakugan toys, as they are simply fictional characters in a game. However, other families may have concerns about the themes or messages portrayed in the Bakugan franchise and may choose to restrict their children from playing with them. It is important for parents to carefully consider their own beliefs and values when making decisions about the toys and media their children engage with.

Answer 2

One view: "Bakugan" is a Japanese cartoon, set in a fictional world. The characters have been made into toys which many kids now play with. From research, I cannot see anything anti-Christian, or that parents might object to. Given that it's in a fictional world, with fictional monsters, and as long as parents make clear that the world Bakugan is set in is fictional too, there shouldn't be a problem. It should be up to each parent, therefore, to decide for themselves.

Biblical view:

"...in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons...." 1 Timothy 4:1

"...have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret." Ephesians 5:11-12

First of all as a Christian, it's God's rules we should follow not mans. Bakugan is dark and demonic in nature. It is a gateway game that can lead to a more occultic experience, much like ouija boards. The theme is death, murder and meyhem. Since when does the fact that something is fiction, make it okay for Christian children to take part in?
