QUOTE well just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's not true. people believe differently than you. My statement was in response to this statement. QUOTE but you're saying pagans are fundamentally worshipping satan. He's saying i said something when i didn't, so it does mean that it is not true. I dont believe like that. |

Well, this has been said a hundred times, but it's not satanic. Everything is fictional. It's all for fun and enjoyment. In 6th grade my Social Studies teacher banned the books from his classroom because, and I quote, "J. K. Rowling is a witch! She leads a cult and all those spells are real. She's trying to recruit more children for her cult. I will not allow those satanist books into my classroom!" When I said, "But it's all fiction. For fun, you know?" He threatened to write me up for "insubordination." It was so retarded, and I made it a point to bring my Goblet of Fire book into class every day.
But, as someone stated earlier, if you're going to ban HP, then you have to ban a lot of Disney movies also. Those little "subliminal messages" aren't very appropriate, not to mention several of them haves witches and wizards in them. |

Look at the google ad sense at the bottom of the page, just because it's fictional doesn't mean that it's not related to the real thing even if it is indirect.
the one i saw was the pagan direct store. |

Wtf, hell no. J.K. Rowling was trying to show how people from different worlds could relate, how every job in life is hard, and she was just trying to portray themes like this and more in an interesting way. Wtf. No, it's not in any way encourage Satan. And if [IF, it isn't though] it was, then people who don't wanna read it- don't read it!

I don't think Harry Potter is trying to promote witchcraft.
I mean, I'm a Catholic and I still like reading the HP series, even though they practice witchcraft, and the whole bunch of them are witches and wizards. |

the title of the next harry potter book indicates it's evil.
the 'half- blood prince' most certainly refers to the devil's son, a prince of darkness, half fallen angel, half human. however, if by some happence this is not the case, it must be noted that the half-blood prince is of a mixed race, which is dispicable and unchristian. such mongrels should not be allowed to live.

I believe in God and I read Harry Potter.
Can anyone of you say that you have not read about dragons and fairies when you were a little kid? Exactly. Those fairy tales do not encourage witchcraft or that sort in the same way as HP. HP is just fiction. It is created out of imagination and creativity. |

My old school was an all girl Catholic private school [back in Philippines] and Harry Potter books ain't banned over there. It's literature, so books, Harry Potters, Da Vinci Code, etc.. are ok. Some teachers even recommend them. |

I can see how people would think of Harry Potter as Satanic--it's a common misconception that witchcraft is synonymous with Satanism. So, Christians heard Harry Potter was a book about a kid in a school for witches, and therefore, thought it was Satanic. Harry Potter was just stereotyped because witches are stereotyped. Witches(also called Wiccans) ARE NOT Satanists. Wicca is a religion all its own. Satan is a Christian concept, and as Wiccans aren't Christian in any way, they don't worship Satan.
I don't believe that Harry Potter is Satanic at all. People(not to be discriminating, but mostly Christians) warp things as simple as a child's TV show way out of proportion. I even saw a page once about how that anime series Sailor Moon was Satanic. So yeah, it's easy to see how they can take Harry Potter and make it Satanic by using stereotypes. |

BLEh. read the thread. it's been discussed. and as far as harry potter being satanic, it is. in the sense that any ideology of doing things for your benefit is satanism. which it, technically, is. |
