People lie all the time...and about many things..what interest do you have in promoting witchcraft in children?
Oh that's a beaut. First you comment on the general prevelence of lies, as a response to the fact that people lie about Harry Potter. Then, as if to prove your point, you lie about Harry Potter.
OK here's the low down. For about 22 years a certain subsection of the Christian community (one with higly dubious intellect) has been picking on certain subsections of popular culture and entertainment. Spreading utter BS and total lies about them. Talking about them causing satanism, teaching the occult, warping minds away from God. First it was D&D, then heavy metal (full disclosure, yes there have been satanic heavy metal bands, they never did real well, nobody liked them, cause they sucked; everybody's favorite "satanic" metal band Black Sabbath had a born again Christian for a lead singer (Ozzy), sorry guys you lose), then Doom, then Vampire (cool RPG, kind of a wierd subcrowd that played it heavily, not wierd like normal hardcore RPGers, wierd in a totally different way), then Magic the Gathering got a little press but it wasn't popular anymore by the time certain Christian's started gunning for it, now Harry Potter.
And it's the same crap every time: it's satanic, it teaches the occult, it portrays witchcraft in a good light, it woo's kids away from the church, yadda yadda yadda. You can write half the next generation of articles just by doing a global search and replace with the articles on the last topic du jur. And every single time (with the exception of Danzig and King Diamond) they are wrong. Pure and simple, wrong, BS, no foundation in truth, written with no actual knowledge of the thing they're writing about or the evils they say it's drawing kids to. They build on a foundation of "evidence" that's usually one whacked out kid in Florida who probably should have been committed long before the "evil" thing got published in the first place. Then they take misquote (and sometimes outright made up BS that never happened) as "proof".
And you're post here is a classic example. Some pinhead that doesn't know anything about the occult (like the guy in last weeks article that says he was close personal friends with traitors... well he says "warlocks" but the Wiccan community uses the original definition of that word which is traitor) tell you there are real spell in Harry Potter, even though it's probable he's never read of the books, and plainly obvious they guy would know a real spell if it were cast on him. Next you have 20 or 30 people who have actually read the book, some of whom have actually done some studying in the occult (after a decade of being told you're a satanist because of your hobby, inspite of being born again during that time period and going to church fairly regularly, there's not much else to do), are standing up and saying "there are no "real" spells in Harry Potter, if you can get a feather to float doing what they do film it, we can make money at this". But you don't believe them, actually you completely ignore them. They post some huge post giving you all kinds of cool stuff to work with and all you can do is repeat what was just refuted.
See it's personal for people like me because you and people like you say I'm an occultist baby killer but you refuse to tell me where my sacrificial knife is. It's personal for people like vets because you make her look bad and cause people like me to have a bad reaction to people like her when they say they're Christian. And I guess it's personal for people like you because if you ever figure out that you're full of BS you'll lose your purpose in life.
BTW, you guys should turn your guns back on D&D for old times' sake. 3rd Edition Player's Handbook kicked HP out of the number 1 spot. D&D is back and raking in bucks just as fast as Potter.
