Yeah, I'm sure everyone here knows about the rediculous connections that some people make between 'satanism'/'wicca'/'voodoo'/whatever and the world of Harry Potter, but this is the first time I, personally, have seen people, with straight faces, talking about it... Witness:
Quote :
The lie about this is that witchcraft is reality
Quote :
[The Harry Potter books teach] Human sacrifice, pagan religions, celtic religions, the sucking of blood from dead animals, witchcraft, possession by spirit beings, satanism, blood sacrifices, wands, robes, owls, latin words... [children are introduced] to the darkest and the black arts.
I like owls! And my friend speaks fluent latin! Do I have to stone them now?
Yeah... to quote the Topless Robot Rob Bricken:
Quote :
Yes, it's just appalling that school also horrifying texts like Harry Potter and forbids the Bible, with its uplifting tales of sex, incest, murder, prostitution, slavery, infanticide (Hosea 13:16), genocide (2 King 10: 18-27), human sacrifice (Leviticus 27: 28-19), children mauled by bears sent by God for mocking a bald man (4 Kings 2:23-24), women raped to death and then dismembered by her husband (Judges 19:22-30), a man demanding his daughter's suitor bring him 100 foreskins and the suitor collecting 200 just for kicks (1 Kings 18:25-27), and God tormenting a human by killing his entire family just so he can win a bet with Satan (the entirety of the book of Job). Look, I'm not actually trying to knock anyone's religion here. I'm just saying people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... even though God says stoning is okay (Deuteronomy 13:10) and Harry Potter probably wouldn't approve.
[sic]... Rob never apologises for his typos, he just admits to them!
Well, God help me, I did a google search on Caryl Matrisciana, the woman in the video... I found some particularly interesting reviews of her books on Amazon...
Quote :
The author did fail to note that her rocky relationships, promiscuity, dabbled drug use, irresponsiblity, and lack of employment are not faults of any Eastern philosophy but inherent traits of her own. Christianity didn't "fix" her problems, it gave her a periphery focus instead of figuring out her own issues.
An interesting read, if only to get into the mind of a conservative Christian missionary in 1985.
I would recommend however that the author at least get the quotes correct from Star Wars!
Heh!
Quote :
There was clearly no research done into the subject, and if there was then this was a consious effort to produce a piece of racist material designed to miseducated masses of people. How hypocritical and infuriating that it tries to level similar claims on 'Eastern spirituality' - it sure shows the paranoia of some.
Evangelism is a 'cult' if anything, and if anything is related to the Third Reich it is bigoted propaganda like this. To superstitiously and dogmatically blame other faiths for events which were unrelated, show such ignorance of history, and also ignore that all evil in the world is caused by human nature and prejudice is dangerous. It is documenatries like this that breed Nazi brownshirt mentality.
This documentary is only fit for a KKK meeting or Nazi rally. I find this film offensive.
Ouch!
Oh, and I also found this wonderful quote from this website titled: ISLAM explained in layman terms
Quote :
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
Wha?
Quote :
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.
Whaaaaa?
Quote :
The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.
Fuck... Right... Off...
Quote :
Well, boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the henhouse. Obama and Janet Napolitano Appoint Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant…?
Yeah... Because Tony Blair and George Bush were all so quiet and modest about their religious beleifs...
Quote :
Just wondering. Was it not “Devout Muslim men” that flew planes into U.S. buildings 8 years ago? Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood ?
Yes, you're absolutly right, no evil has ever been committed by a devout Christian, has it?
WOW!
Just... WOW!

Actually, I really like it that HP teaches wands and robes. Where else will our children learn these things? Star Wars taught robes, but it just didn't have enough in the way of wands.

...Are these morons aware that the Bible was translated into Latin before it was translated into English? And that Church services were conducted in Latin? So how the fuck is Latin evil? And owls are as dumb as rocks, but that doesn't make them evil.

If Latin is evil, does that make any English word with a Latin root into some sort of watered-down evil? God forbid you be named something like Lucinda Lawrence. You'd be double evil.

Second of all, don't you capitalize Muslim?
Third, vegetarians are useless, weeping pussies not fit the same level of respect as Muslims. Those that run around demanding that every public school/college cafeteria should cater to their testicle-less brand of insanity should be shot with a large gun.

They're both transliterations from a different alphabet, so variations are pretty normal. Apparently the Moslem spelling is an older one, so sayeth Wikipedia.
It should have been capitalized. You're right on that count, at least.
