You read the comments near the top. Why were the readers so enthralled? What kinds of values did they find so captivating? Why do they feel good about a futuristic culture that turns mass murder into entertaining games? Let me guess: The captivating killing fields? The strong, self-confident heroine? The sensual, shimmering, fiery costumes in the opening ceremony? The mandatory romance that titillated Panems nation-wide audience? The reincarnated Tributes whose dead bodies revive and return as snarling wolf-like predators? All these themes and fantasies fit our times. They stir curiosities that cant easily be quenched. They spread corrupt values that guide future behavior and preferences. They dull our childrens desire for Gods truth and ways. Through schools and entertainment, their minds have already been attuned to a culture of myth, violence, sensual thrills and feminist superiority. Biblical truth is incompatible with mind-changing messages that bombard them from the Internet, computer games, peers and books. Following the crowd becomes natural; following God is not. ~Berit Kjos
