Harry Potter books are evil?

Harry Potter books are evil?

OK regardless of what you believe in, I found this comment by a woman at CBN amusing.

She said that all of the Harry Potter books are evil and you should through them out of your household.

Here is a link to some of the discussions:

Personally I think Harry Potter is just a kids tale.

If they say that Harry Potter is evil and Witch craft, What about such classics as Lord Of The Rings and other stories about evil?

It's Just, (I Repeat) It's Just possible that Star Trek could be considered evil in someone's eyes, or has nobody noticed there is no religeon nor Xmas, nor Easter in any of the episode.



I'm not trying to create conflict, I just noticed this that's all

Fporgot to mention that I consider that books, films and games like Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Trek, Dungeons & Dragons are just plain and simple entertainment.

Star Trek can be evil if you belong to a cult that is waiting on the mother ship disguised as a comet. ANyone ever hear the Bif Naked's "Porno Brainwash?" ( http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bif-naked/17312.html ) Obviously Harry Potter can be evil to unhealthy people who think pretend magic is evil. People feed their sicknesses with all sorts of things. Fundamentalist religion is just one choice.

On the other end of the spectrum, religion can be evil to people who are frightened of it. I don't see the aforementioned "Harry Potter" paranoia any different than a few other conversations I have seen about the oft-vilified Christianity here lately. You can make a monster out of anything if you are convinced enough that it *is* a monster. I'd be willing to bet before this string is over someone will rant to the heavens of how evil all this 'religion' stuff is. Silly Muggles.

I find nothing wrong with a few books based on witchcraft.  Of course, that may also be because my family tree has a couple hangings in it.  (Rebecca Nurse and Mary Este, to be exact).  They were sisters, and their maiden name was "Towne" (which is also my maiden name, and I have *a lot* of "Mary Towne" relatives..at least 3 that are still alive....)..... I may weigh the same as a duck.... 

I wouldn't mind visiting Rebecca Nurse's homestead.

I could see how people from the "700 club" (which is who this interview was with) would have a problem with the books.  I don't see them as "evil" but they do have a definite dark tone to them.

Remember "Puff the magic dragon"? Widely denounced as a song promoting drugs. People have noted pornographic images in Disney movies. If you stand on your head and squint while playing any Disney movie at 1/4 speed, you'll eventually see Donald Duck doing nasty things to the three pigs or some other such nonsense.

There's enough serious problems and stress in this poor old world without inventing problems. Now it's back to my potions and cauldron!

Harry Potter books are evil. Try working in a bookstore for a living and then tell me they're not. If one more person asks me if we have any first editions of the first book left, I think I'll put a hex on them. Damn you Harry, damn you!

And... breathe...

Harry Potter is fine. It is a smurfy tale of fantasy and I think smurfs should enjoy. Stop taking everything so smurfin serious.

Star Trek did have an episode where they acknowledged Jesus,they found a pseudo roman society that had reebls that practiced 'son' worship.Then at the end they discovered it was the son of God.

Just a little nerd trivia.

Songs about drugs....

'Cocaine'.....a classic....

Mellow Yellow....'I'm just wild about safron....'

Plenty of examples....

Then there's 'Walk on the wild side'....

'Sex and drugs and rock and roll'....

Cabbage or Devil's night - Oct 30th around here. Kids through eggs, cabbage, & tiolet paper on trees. It happened at my yard last year. Luckily, I wasn't around.

This Halloween, I will be home. Ugh! I hope the trick & treaters don't wake up my kids. Halloween was fun. Cabbage night is always the worst.

about Star Trek:
This is like the episode of Star Trek where they're in a parallel universe and everything's the same except everyone's on heroin.
