This Pagan seems to be on the right track
"Wouldn’t this be a better world if you and people like you could stop being so bigoted and open your hearts to those that are different than you. I am a pagan I don’t believe in heaven or hell, god or the devil."
Honestly why do Christians have to try to ram their beliefs down others throats?
Linda P. Harvey in Heresy in the Hood II: Witchcraft among Children and Teens in America is back to Bashing Harry Potter and other popular, books, movies and TV Shows.
Ironically, God is in charge even if the fictional Harry Potter or his friend Hermoine cast "spells." Yet Potter fans will never hear about God’s real, omnipotent power by reading the Christ–less Rowling books or seeing the Potter movies. One of the biggest and most artificial aspects of these stories is this pretense. In this sense, they truly are fantasies.
I wonder if she has even bothered to read the Potter books, especially the last one.

ReplyDeleteI don't get it. Does she think Potter fans will never ever hear about God outside of the Potter books or that every darn thing a child reads has to praise God and go on about His powers?
Either way, she doesn't sound like much of a thinker.
I love fundamentalist Christians. The passages forbidding witchcraft are taken from the book of Deuteronomy. Two problems
ReplyDelete1. Those laws only apply to Jews (Nothing wrong with practicing witchcraft otherwise)
2.The book of Deuteronomy also forbids mixing wool and linen, working on Saturday, eating pork, and mixing milk and meat.
Sorry. You can't play the "under grace and exempt from the law" game if you intend to use that law to persecute people.
Yes, it's ironic how the laws in the old testament don't apply because JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS for us in the new testament, unless the Christians want to use the laws to persecute someone.
ReplyDeleteIt's also ironic that the laws forbidden gluttony, bearing false witness and other vices are overlooked in their own congregation.
