RE: Burn the Witch!

Comment comment by scottb on 12 August 2007

Shouldn't we, as good Christian, burn Harry for witchcraft?

I assume you're joking, but unfortunately, there are people seriously saying stuff like that. Like here and here.

Creepy.

RE: Burn the Witch! by ldsudduth :: NR6

I agree with you Scott--one has to learn to draw the line between fantasy and reality--and parents have the obligation to teach that to their children. I believe that those who think Harry Potter to be a 'dangerous introduction to witchcraft' don't have a clue. It's not--in fact, one of the so-called 'spells' in the movies sounds an awful lot like a bacteria they're touting in some yogurt/milk product on TV.

At any rate, Harry Potter is no more 'occult' than Lord of the Rings or the Chronicles of Narnia. Believe it or not, I've heard the latter two espoused as just as evil as Harry Potter--even though BOTH are written by christian authors and intended as biblical allegory (Narnia moreso than Rings). There are other christian authors writing books of a similar vein as Harry Potter--and they're getting some negative tirades too. You won't hear it from me.

like here?

Oui!!! Do you know where else I saw it? Here maybe?

Of course I'm joking, I love when Hairy destroyed Voltmort. Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with fantasy books. But there is something wrong with religious fanatics from the clips you have shown.
