I'm angry and nasty about it because I've seen the havoc that gets wrought by these people first hand. People driven from the Faith by the condemners who know nothing of what they speak. I consider these people to everything they claim things like Harry Potter are: enemies of Faith weakening the Faith of the young and impressionable. They force impressionable youths to chose between that which they enjoy and that which their parent taught them under false pretenses with inaccurate "evidence" and put an ignorant face on Christianity for all see. That is truly the devil's work.

I've read them, so I know "of what I speak".

So if a child "enjoys" something, that makes it good? A parent's role is not to guide their children on the path of righteousness? A parent should not make judgement calls? A parent is not specifically bound to protect his or her children?
That is truly the devil's work.
Yes, protecting my children from books that endorse rebellion is "truly the Devil's work".
Guess what? We homeschool, too! We oversee everything our children study. I must be one of Satan's chief operatives!

That is truly the devil's work. Yes, let's suffer children not the facts. It may make them uncomfortable. How do you say that with a straight face?
Why teach kids about AIDS? It may force them to choose between what they enjoy, and what's intelligent.
