ATLANTA: The state Board of Education will decide Wednesday whether to keep Harry Potter books on library shelves in one suburban Atlanta school district, and the matter will be discussed in public rather than behind closed doors as previously planned.

The board will consider an appeal by parent Laura Mallory who is upset that the Gwinnett County school board voted to keep the best-selling books in its schools, despite her claims that the books indoctrinate children in pagan religion.

Proof that Harry Potter books cause satanism

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An article from a major newspaper was emailed to me yesterday. It says that Harry Potter books cause satanism. Here's what the article said.


Lock Haven PA- Ashley Daniels is as close as you can get to your typical 9-year-old American girl. A third grader at Lock Haven Elementary school, she loves rollerblading, her pet hamsters Benny and Oreo, and of course, Harry Potter. Having breezed through the most recent Potter opus in just four days, Ashley is among the millions of children who have made Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire the fastest-selling book in publishing history. And like many of her school friends, Ashley was captivated enough by thestrange occult doings at the Hogwarts Schoool of Witchcraft and Wizardryto pursue the Left-Hand Path, determined to become as adept at the black arts as Harry and his pals. "I used to beleive in what they taught us at Sunday School" said Ashley, conjuring up and ancient spell to summon Cereberus, the three-headed hound of hell. "But the Harry Potter books showed me that magic is real, something I can learn and use right now, and that The Bible is nothing but boring lies."



The article also has a teacher who says her kids started reading Harry Potter and now have read the seven scrolls of the black rose, the necronomicon, the satanic bible, and the origin of species. Also satanic groups are getting new members. One of the satanists bragged that all the new members they get from harry potter were virgins.

These books are sick. They need to be taken out of the libraries and classrooms.http://forums4.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=398539&highlight=Harry+Potter

So was Jesussaves a prophet, or just a great thinker who was ahead of his time? Certainly he was popular. Even bigger than Jesus, much like the beatles. People didn't grow too large in Jesus' day.

He was banned ages ago wasnt he? And people have been claiming Harry Potter was evil since the first book.

The second quote almost sounds like a parody of a Fundie Whackjob Website.
Again, I am compelled to ask the question "where are the parents?" The child questioning her faith has less to do with the books and more to do with the faith itself. If it wasn't Harry Potter, that girl's faith was bound to be tilted by SOMEthing -- it was too fragile not to be. Incidentally, this ONE example is all they've got as proof? It's not just the laws of science some folks have issues with, is it?

Too bad Jesussaves couldn't save himself. Hmm...? What a remarkable idea; Jesussavessaves!

Come on; what are you waiting for?

People are stupid.

I love the way the 'Origin of species' is put in a group with a load of satanic writings...

Between that and the Wizard of Oz our youth is being corrupted.

He was indeed a prophet, and the mods who DEATed Him shall be struck down with great vengeance.

Or not.

Did you hear that?

That was the sound of me losing my faith in humanity.

"I think it's absolute rubbish to protest children's books on the grounds that they are luring children to Satan," Rowling told a London Times reporter in a July 17 interview. "People should be praising them for that! These books guide children to an understanding that the weak, idiotic Son Of God is a living hoax who will be humiliated when the rain of fire comes, and will suck the greasy cock of the Dark Lord while we, his faithful servants, laugh and cavort in victory."

Pssst, you did see that it's The Onion, right?

I know, and what made me lose faith in humanity was that people actually still take this shit seriously.

I'm hoping little girl summons Cthulhu. That'll give the damn Christian Right something to be worried about.

The catholic church brands everything that is not catholic as being satanic.

How convenient and closed minded.

So, according to them, every other religion, cults and sects are satanic.

I wonder what the Dalai Lama would say about that? He is as much a threat to the catholic church as Harry Potter. Atheists are also satanic according to them. It is inconceivable to them that somebody could believe in something other than God or worse, nothing at all.

Can we have a little judgment here? There will always be cults and sects and what scares them the most is that people are a bit more open-minded than in the middle ages where the Pope ruled over kings and state leaders.

I guess I'll go conjure up some food and have supper. Poof!

I call BS on the entire story based on that alone. In my opinion the Bible teaches things much worse than the "horrible" magic in the Harry Potter books.

I think we can safely say that if you're afraid you're missing something, it's the OP that's confused (unless it's me, in which case, I'm trying too hard to be clever, which I maintain is a "special" kind of confusion).

Feh. The Necromicon, the Satanic Bible, I can understand the worry. But The Origin of the Species? Come on, that's just fucked up. And saying the Bible is a bunch of boring lies? Well, it's her choice. Personally, I agree with her, but it's up to individuals to decide what's good for them.

Good...I hope Mrs. Mallory's opinions are held up and publicly ridiculed for their sheer idiocy.

Fucking fundies.

Does Jesussaves imitate real life, or does real life imitate Jesussaves? Truly a great question of our time.

Oh christ. I finished High School in Gwinnett county. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this at all down here. And from a resident here, I'd be extremely surprised if they ended up banning them.

Jesussaves should have never been deleted. :(

Wait, back it up.

So your satiracle troll, which you know god damn well was never right, was right? Good God, so that means, in extension, YOU were right?

I may have just shat myself.

I'd consider banning them on the sole basis that they are overhyped crap. Or at least putting a sign next to them saying: These books are an idiotic waste of brain cells. If you actually believe that magic is real, mutilate your genitals now, so as not to pollute the gene pool. Thank you, and have a nice day.

But religious grounds? No. Not at all. IF it is really turning kids into magicians, they really weren't stable minded to begin with. Especially if they are post-pubescent(I have met a few in college who believe that the Books are the word of God, so to speak, and believe that horrible shite is real-tis sad, very very sad).

No, it'd be JesussavessavesJesussaves.Only if the first was named JesussavesJesus, which he wasn't.

Ah, Jesussaves. I wish he weren't banned.

I'm gonna stop you right there and send you back to the drawing board. The OP is not a catholic story. If you wanna diss on religion, at least get the right subsect of the faith in question.

If you hear some craziness coming from a community member, think protestant.
If you hear a sex scandal, think catholic. We moved over the "everything else is satanic" phase and are now concentrating our effort into "sex is bad".

As if egochecks weren't bad enough! Sheesh! :)Ah, too bad that I don't know what you mean by "egocheck" so the (un)complimentary nature of your missive sadly escapes me. The language barrier strikes again!

Did nobody yet grab on to the fact that that site is a joke?
Somebody did not read the thread, eh? ;P

Only if the first was named JesussavesJesus, which he wasn't. Ahhh, but no, there you go again. Your very first name creation that started all this failed to mention WHOM he saves. Which is why it sucks. :p Here's how it's done:
What? No. Because then it'd be JesussavesJesussavesJesussavesJesus. And that's just ridiculous.
Except that this is an example based on the "JesussavesJesus" which, as I V already pointed out, is indeed ridiculous. Because that would mean he actually saved Jesus when all he did was saving himself. Or not, as were the case.

We really should keep this discussion going. I like it. *nod* :p

Hehe. I got the impression it was more of a personal hate thing. Somebody who goes on a rant about Catholics after reading about a fundamentalist religious crusade against Harry Potter in the US hardly seems like they would be swayed by common sense interjections. ;)

Satire or not, I think US schools could really bebefit from having more satanists around.

But the believability of the article was suspect right from the beginning. No one could read the Necronomicon and actually think it was real.
