The whole thing is very simple if you can just agree on a few simple points. Harry Potter glorifies witchcraft. Witchcraft conjurers supernatural powers that are not from The Creator. The only other entity that holds these powers is Satan. If you do not believe in God’s Word, the bible then go at it and enjoy. You’re going to hell anyway. But if you do believe that the Bible is God’s Word and you whole heartedly try to obey it, then you should understand the luring affect of the occult. And that you should flee from these things for your own good.

The Christian Worldview Network sure is a fun place to play. What surprised me was an article by Kirby Anderson about video games which I actually found myself agreeing with for the most part. I am the VERY LAST person that would agree with one of these fundamentalist loonies but he makes some really good points about “inappropriate” video games and surprisingly does not invoke the “Wrath of God” while doing so. This is a man who actually places the blame squarely on the parents for allowing their children to be exposed to these things. I posted comments and tried my best to make them “inoffensive” enough to get them posted but who knows. I’d be very surprised if they make it onto the site without being censored. But if you guys want more crazy shit from these people check out the article about yoga. If you do yoga as a Christian you’re going to hell. Just thought I’d tell you so you can repent now. NOW! before you do even one more “downward-facing dog.”

Let me get this straight. World Nut Daily is shouting at the top of its voice that Osama bin Laden has nukes and is going to set them off next month in honor of the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima, and you pick… a diss of Harry Potter as the epitomy of wingnuttery?

Dear, wingnuts dissing Harry is, like, SOOO yesterday. But it’s not every day that World Nut Daily proclaims the end of the world is near!

Yes, for every (over the top) worry about the evil Harry Potter, JK Rowling is thankful as she spends her money and works towards plotting the final book.

Holy cow, have you *read* The Bible? There’s, like, guys in there doing *everything* The Bible forbids!
Clearly it’s pagan propaganda designed to lure the innocent children into lives of cheating, lying, and chatting with snakes who pose as greengrocers!

Hemlock, is that a line from that The Onion story about the HP books that fundies were emailing to each other because they thought it was real?

I think the blood-drinking part refers to Voldemort, who in the first book drank unicorn’s blood to stay alive. Of course, this is shown as a despicable act by a very evil person. Heck, the Bible has Saul talking to the ghost of Samuel through the medium of a witch. Does this mean necromancy is okay?

As the Onion once put it: “I like Hermione because she is smart and has a kitty. Jesus died because He was weak and stupid.”

It wasn’t until I started reading Harry Potter that I started with heroin and human sacrifice. Now I just sit in my basement, stoned, and kill puppies and kittens in my spare time. DAMN YOU HARRY POTTER!!!!!

“Good and evil are just how you perceive it (situation ethics).”
Yes, one character did say, “There is no good or evil. There is only power and those too weak to use it.” More Niztsche than situational ethnics but definitely the very thing wingnuttia is worried about. Except it was the Dark Lord that said it just before his first attempt to kill Harry. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
As far as the cheating and lying, there is some of that, but usually for a good reason or else Harry pays dearly for it.
What an idiot!

Seems there’ll be hell to pay if Jesus ever finds out I starred in “Harry Popped Her and the Prisoner’s Ass Got Banged.”

I think it would be fun to tell people who have never read the Potter books that drinking blood, necromancy, and cheating are the lightest things in there. When they sacrifice the 17 virgins, that’s when the stuff really gets going.

The was a letter to the editor in the Charlotte Observer yesterday that pretty much blamed the Harry Potter books for terrorism.

The real redflag is “When told [Hogwarts] doesn’t really exist, [children] are heartbroken.” Either this woman is completely unfamiliar with actual children (who know the difference between what’s real and what’s a story perfectly well by the time they are old enough to read), or she is confident that her readers are.

You filthy swines! YOU must have used your wizardly powers to make ME click on the ChristianWorldView link instead of the SadlyNo link, and I actually read several lines before I could retract my steps!

I am unclean! Unclean, I tell you! Harry, Hermione, forgive me! Aaaaah (bursts into tears and orgy of eating shellfish, coveting neighbours’ oxen, etc.)

Boy, I’m glad I was referred to this Sadly, No! by World O’ Crap, and then was able to proceed on to the Worldview site. Being a 17 year old, I’m especially suseptible to the evils of Harry Potter. Or wait, perhaps I’m actually smart enough to tell the difference between a fictious book and real life occult. And having just read the Crucible this year, I wonder if Jan is already making plans of who she will accuse of witchcraft so she can get their land, husband, etc.

However, the scariest comment I saw:
“Thank you for putting it so clearly with the Biblical backing. This is what I needed to be able to better express myself to other parents on the subject!”

It made me shudder. I certainly hope the parents they’re going to be expressing themselves to are of like mind, because the rest of us really aren’t interested in this drivel. That’s just me talking, though.

I guess the only way to protect your children nowadays is by forbidding them to read.

I was gonna say that it would include not reading the Bible; but you beat me to it by the last paragraph.

BTW, you forgot to mention the sexual references in the Song of Solomon, David committing adultery and killing Mr. Bathsheba so he could have Bathsheba for himself (sounds like a crappy Lifetime movie!), and…

Oh, screw it. Just go here…

Of course, in the Harry Potter world, not every person is a witch or a wizard–if you don’t get your letter from Hogwart’s on your 11th birthday, you are pretty much safe from the temptations of witchcraft, no?

Also, I note that our intrepid columnist doesn’t actually cite any bible passages warning people to stay away from magic.
