[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: What I just saw on TV...

[wayne gregory]

Yeah! that was the one I read! Let them have their opinoins! But to me, This Betty Bowers is quite a dangerous women, she seems to make noise before her brain has caught up with her mouth. What I don't understand is that if the church is against magic, then what was it that Jesus did to turn water to wine??

I am not against any religon, but that really does make you wonder 
whether they are religeous or just insane!

I ignored most of the Christians against Harry Potter mess when it 
was going on. Just let them have their opinions. I actually thank 
them because here in South Carolina, they tried banning the books. 
So, just to see what the fuss was about, I read Chamber of Secrets. 
Now of course I probably reread one of the books per week.

But just out of sheer boredom I took your advice and looked around 
the internet. The very first article I read put my jaw on the floor. 
I have a feeling its among the very very far end of the spectrum on 
people who HATE HP. But here are just a couple of passages. The rest 
can be found at www.Bettybowers.com (She claims to be America's Best 
Christian btw).

"What barely literate Church of God mother, wishing to homeschool 
her children about Jesus on plastic-laminated card tables in her 
damp unfinished basement, stands a chance against the lush 
glittering allure of the grandly furnished, gothic Hogwarts Academy? 
Yes, Hogwarts is similar to Christian academies in that no time is 
squandered teaching history, literature and science (and there are 
few unsightly non-Caucasian children) but, sadly, that is where the 
similarity ends! "

Im sorry, did she just say "UNSIGHTLY NON-CAUCASIAN children?"
If that wasn't enough, heres one last taste...

"Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), wearing a Dorothy Hamill unisex hairstyle 
resurrected from the 1970's by America's First Lady Laura Bush, is 
Jesus Killer Rowling's (and you wonder why she goes by her 
initials!) homosexual recruitment poster-boy. How do we know he is a 
depraved homosexual? Well, he's English. Furthermore, when he lives 
with his dreadful Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, he sleeps "in the 
closet." (I never claimed that secular imagery was anymore subtle 
than our own!) As Harry becomes more attuned to his satanic powers, 
he comes "out of the closet" and befriends Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), 
an old biker "bear" of lascivious intentions."

Jesus Killer Rowling? wow. 
Homosexual because he's English? double wow.

....and it goes on...

"Once Harry arrives at Hogwarts, he is free to begin an unbroken 
daisy chain of homosexual liaisons. Fortunately for Christian 
viewers, the frantic buggery that is endemic at all British schools 
with stone floors is mercifully left off-camera. But this does not 
mean that Harry doesn't devote shocking attention to finding other 
homosexuals to pair off with. For those of you thinking I am making 
this up, I direct your attention to page 171 of the book upon which 
this film was based for the brazen matchmaking exploits of young 
British homosexuals:



'"Professor Flitwick [Harry's "charms" (wink, wink) teacher] put the 
class into pairs to practice. Harry's partner was Seamus Finnigan, 
which was a relief, because Neville had been trying to catch his 
eye.'"



Okay, thats enough of that. If you will all pick your jaws up from 
the floor, I'll let you get on with your life. I just had to post 
this to confirm my eyes arent merely making up their own words as I 
read.

Jason, who is immensely apprehensive at fanning the flames but, WOW.
