Harry Potter Meets Uncle Sam


The military has recently capitulated to requests by Wiccan members to allow the Wiccan symbol on military graves. So, walking through Arlington cemetery one day, you might see a Jewish Star on one grave, a cross on another, or perhaps even a cresent and star on another. And then, you might come accross a satanic pentagram.

Strange, is it not? Witchcraft, by definition, is an anti-religion. It has an enemy: Christianity, and, at times, Judaism.

Whatever floats your boat.

Harry isn't a wiccan.

He's magical.
Wiccans think they are worshiping the primordial forces of creation and what not, but they don't wear pointy hats, carry wands, or throw eye of newt into a boiling cauldron.

If I ever see a newt, I'm gonna pull his eye out for Good Ol' Harry.

Harry Potter is, in the words of David Brinkley as he described Bill Clinton when he didn't know the mic was on, "an unmitigated bore!"

I disagree, Harry Potter is great. My biggest problem with Harry Potter is that I read the books so fast, and then they are over.
I'm with pastakeith, I would pull out a newts eye for Harry too.

Well, even if I strongly disagree, one of the rights granted us as Americans is the Freedom of Religion. Whether or not the religion in question is true, or even not beneficial to society in general, the soldiers of the revolutionary war saw fit that the freedom to worship would be secured.

Now as a Christian, I think it's rather ridiculous that a person would entertain such nonsense, but as an American I say they have the right. Sadly, we, the church are not reaching those among us who are undeniably lost.

I read a few chapters, and watched half a movie. if that doesn't hook me, I don't want to be hooked.

The concept I find boring. A little boy who is a wizard and does wizardy things with other little children.

I need a larger context. Does he save the entire world? Does he slay ultimate evil?
