It is my belief that modern Movies and TV have done enormous damage to the Minds of young people of today. I am an old man, so let me explain.
I grew up in a world without TV, without personal telephones, or personal radios. At that time, certainly in Britain, there was very severe censorship of movies and radio.
Movies were "Certified". A "U" certificate was for movies suitable for the whole family. An "A" was for Adults,but children were allowed to see these if, and only if, they were accompanied by an adult. "H" was for "Horror", and nobody under the age of sixteen was allowed to see these movies; and they were very "tame" by modern standards. The "special effects" were very primitive!
The censorship was very strict; everybody, when I was a boy carried an Identity Card, with date of birth stamped on it. There was no chance of a child watching a Horror movie.
So the children of my generation knew nothing of Demons, Ghosts, Spirits; and Angels were only of "The Church". (Most kids didn't believe in angels anyway!).
Modern TV shows are filled with Demons, Vampires, and all sorts of Ghouls,Ghosties, and Long-Leggedly-Beasties.
No wonder the imagination of today's youngsters runs riot!
I can honestly say, that in 83 years of life, I have never been contacted in any way with any spirit,demon,or angel.
I did believe in angels until about the age of ten;but that was because I was at a Catholic school.
And please, don't give me any of that nonsense about "not letting them in". According to most "beliefs" they cannot be stopped from "coming in".
To my Mind, today's youngsters have a hard time sorting out fact from fiction. My childhood was much happier, and more peaceful.
