I loved this so much at the time that I have taken the time to comb the
archives and find this for the edification and amusement of any
newcomers. I was going to just give the message number, but the post
also covers nitpicks about Dave Barry quotes, so I just copied the
relevant part to this post.

Joywitch has, in my opinion, delivered the ultimate last word on those
who object to the Potter books on religious grounds, specifically her
last paragraph, which I have printed out and have over my desk. [It's
message number 13965, for those of you who just like to know these
things.]

<begin quote>

I mean, really, with all the problems in this world could you imagine
that if God dropped by Earth he would tell us all not to read Harry
Potter?

"Listen, my children, thou have sinned.  I dont care that you slaughter
each other because you dont like the color of other peoples skin or
their ancestry, or because you want their land or possessions, I dont
care that women are raped and brutalized, or that children are abused,
but I really think you should stop reading about a school where kids are
learning how to make a pineapple tap dance across the desk."

I dont trust these anti-Harry Potter morons because although they
sometimes seem to be able to think for themselves, I cant see where they
keep their brains.
