Harry Potter has never been considered to be a 'good thing'. That series, along with this one, is based on witchcraft.
Folks - do you really not see the dangers in witchcraft?
By the way, Lora, you are proving our point. Even if there were some redeeming quailty to CoN (which there is not), it is a gateway to other wickedness. First Narnia, then Harry Potter, then books about wicca, then ...
It is a slippery slope the Devil wants you to slide down. Please take this warning from us and flee the wickedness now!

It must be sad to live in a world where you have to be afraid of everything, and where there's no such thing as a little bit of harmless fantasy. Everything is black and white, and you have to curl yourself up into a little ball of paranoia in case you piss off a god who is so good and loving he will strike you down for even a minor offense. Would it really make their brains explode if they were to admit that, sometimes, the only reason someone writes a book is to make something they think people might enjoy?
Bro Randy is the new JohnR7. I had a JohnR7-shaped hole in my little heart until Randy's posts started appearing.
"Harry Potter has never been considered to be a 'good thing'. That series, along with this one, is based on witchcraft."It's a series of stories, stories in which good triumphs over evil. Have you read any Harry Potter book?
"Folks - do you really not see the dangers in witchcraft?"
No, not really. As witchcraft is a fiction, like Xianity, it's only harm is to and by those who take it seriously.

You're afraid of everything aren't you, Bro Randy?

Randy, try reading some of the great works of literature. You know, as in NOT the Bible or Bible commentaries. Also, get out into the non-church world a bit. I know you'll be scared at first, but you have so much to learn from such experiences.
I hope your house isn't held together with nails there Randy. First it's planks, then pictures, then people you don't like that are claiming to be prophets... It is a slippery slope the Devil wants you to slide down.
Am I the only one sick to death of hearing the phrase, 'slippery slope'?
Witchcraft is a waste of time. The only danger I can think up of, is if you were to accidentally set something on fire, but then again, you get the same risk factor from cooking.
First Narnia, then Harry Potter, then books about wicca, then ... Christians who did that last one ...

Your tale must be this tall
"Flogging a dead horse award" seconded.
I read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe in elementary school. I started reading Harry Potter in the seventh grade (still do). The closest I have ever gotten (or ever will get) to becoming a Wiccan was when I bought a pentacle at Hot Topic (mostly because it looked cool).
Folks - do you really not see the dangers in the King James Version? It is a gateway to wickedness.
On second thought, Randy-pants probably has legitimate reasons to fear Wiccans - or any woman with a healthy self-image - seeing as how insulting them all is his stock in trade.
This is really sad. I feel pity for all these people intent to huddle in a corner, waving a cross around, terrified to feel any pleasure, have any fun, for fear that their "loving" god comes down on them like a ton of bricks.
And I fail to see the Satanic nature of Harry Potter. Love as an ultimate force to vanquish evil, and protect those that matter to you, a hero, that rarely hurt anyone, and even then, only when pressed, and NEVER killed, powers given, not by a pact with a dark force, but innate...God-given, one might say...geesh.
Also, get out into the non-church world a bit. I know you'll be scared at first, but you have so much to learn from such experiences.
It'll never happen, Papabear. Where he is now he's that cliched 'big fish in small pond'. Outside that pond he's nothing. He's far too much of a coward to give up that level of control.
er... I read Harry Potter, I read Narnia, AND I'm a Hindu... ZOMG I MUST DIE!!!!

Then what?!?!? I have to know! Dragonlance books? Heroin?
Contrary to Fundie belief, most people who enjoy media with magic featured therein, whether it be Harry Potter, Final Fantasy, whatever, do not seek out Wicca.
The only reason Wicca even HAS this much publicity is because people want to know what the Hell you Fundies are ranting and raving about. Once our curiosity is satisfied, we generally stick to our own belief, or lack thereof.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
