"I have a question about my tattoos. When I was heavily involved with the occult I got a heart shaped peace sign, an ankh with angel wings, and a phoenix tattoo. They all meant something when I got them, but when I came back to the Church I have been trying to find a way to link them with things I believe in and the church believes. Unfortunately lazer removal and coverup jobs are way out of my budget to do. I am wondering what I should do. What would you suggest?"

"I was wondering if you could explain to me what ties if any the game bakugan has to the occult. My son, who is in kindergarten, came home begging for bakugan items that he had seen other kids had at school. I thought that I had heard it had ties to the occult but not familiar enough with the game/video and could not find any occult information on it from the internet. We would not allow the game, figures or cards into our house but I have had a hard time explaining exactly why he could not have the items. Do you have an easy way to explain occult to children? I am also wondering if StarWars The Clone Wars" has occult ties."
