of heaven and hell
This past weekend was Ohayocon 5 in downtown columbus at the convention center. Yer basic anime convention filled with cosplayers dressing up as bad ass elves and hopefully scantily clad girls as wicked mages and what not. Theres movies, and video game rooms, the dealer room offers deals (sometimes) on cool posters and models, and crap you dont need, ok lemme take that back sometimes the little crap is cool but then it gets lost in yer house and ends up in small boxes or something.
2005 is the year of use what you need toss everything else btw.
Ok so back to heaven and hell. What's funny about this anime convention is that its in the convention center along with other various cons as well. In particular and I dont know how they got them in sync or what not but this year like last year the anime con has run right along another con.. a christian convention. Can you picture that for a sec? Picture a 15yr rebelious kid shufflin down the hallway dressed as some goth meets demon hunter magic +10 damage to holy folk.. goes to the food court, snags a bagel, turns and runs smack into a leaflet tossing yer gonna burn in hell christian? Now I'm christian and I dont think the kid will burn, its all good, but christians that go to cons, well they have agendas ya know. Anyways I found it highly entertaining last year watching the vampires roam the halls with bible thumpers staring at them.. this year much of the same occured.
Here's a post from the Ohayocon's website.. an offended anime goer.
"...I'd like to complain about the Christians that were throwing pamplets in our faces,lecturing us, and discriminating us.Did you guys know that there was going to be a Christian convention in the same hotel? If not, then please disregard this, but if you did know that they were going to be there, I'd like to ask why you chose that hotel to have the convention in. Could you possibly avoid doing that next year? I really don't want that happening again. I am 100% sure that I wasn't the only one that was being annoyed by them."
Take that you pagan scumbags! BURN!
but wait.. perhaps the christians had planned this all along, what better way to reach the youth of america but at an anime convention, convert them and hundreds could be spared.. or saved or wait a tick what am i tryin to say here.. someone toss me a good dramatic line.... another post please!
"...I hear that Pamplets were being thrown in people's faces, do you think they could have done it on the Ohayocon weekend on purpose? I didn't have a problem with them, but It seems awfully fishy to me. "
Insert scary music here. Tune in next year.....
