[BanHarryPotterNow!] Looks like we've been hacked. :) or not.

Growl.  The "Moral Majority" is not behind this "hacking".  It's just a April Fool's Joke from that guy who told everybody that HPfGU was going to close down last year -- or someone like him.  One of the mods, anyway.  I REALLY HATE this holiday.  It makes me feel all..twitchy.

My eternal burning hatred for April the 1st put aside, however, perhaps this particular joke is not in the best of tastes.  I hope you all realize that those who believe that Harry Potter is "evil" are merely a very SMALL, but very VOCAL, portion of the Christian community.  The number of "religious" fans on this very list is a witness to the fact that most of us do not adhere to such ridiculous (IMHO) beliefs -- such that a beautiful, imaginative book could lead children towards Satan.  I know I'm being a bit touchy, but still...I've had enough of the attitude of today's pop culture towards Christianity.  I don't care if it's not trendy, and I never give anyone a hard time about their religion, why can't people just leave us alone?
