"Theyre teaching witchcraft in our public schools!!!"

[Taverner]

"But teaching about Jesus is illegal - and it will get you thrown in jail!!!"

Honestly, this is the shit I was hearing on Christian Hate radio.

These fucks are batshit crazy.

Oh, and for the record - I would rather them teach witchcraft than christianity in our schools.

1. Evilution is which craft.....

[ucmike]

2. i saw coverage of an anti-harry potter rally

where some wacky christians were burning harry potter books because, according to one of the organizers "harry potter seduces children with witchcraft, magic, and violence."

his solution was that parents should make children read the bible for a positive message...i guess because the bible doesn't have anything like witchcraft, magic, or violence in it? and we all know how those harry potter books are full of rape, incest, and vengeful gods.

[WCGreen]

4. And burning books doesn't teach violence....

[no name no slogan]

3. Well it's about fscking time

I mean, who wouldn't like to know how to cast spells? Think of all the time you could save on housekeeping.

5. My daughter is getting straight "A"'s in Witchcraft!

I'm so proud of her! She's only pulling a "B" in Birth Control class, though. Watch out!

[China_cat]

7. As long as she doesn't fail.

[gmoney]

11. Yes, birth control is DEFINITELY a pass/fail course (n/t)

[Dark]

10. Meh, flag burning class is the toughie, though.

6. They have a hard time distinguishing reality vs fantasy.

Apparently, in their eyes, Harry Potter is alive and real, not make-belief. :eyes:

[Initech]

8. Witchcraft? Like reading Shakesphere, for instance?

I mean Macbeth is full of tales about witches!

Although I often fantasize that the ending of Macbeth is what happens to Limbaugh, Falwell, and Robertson.

9. I remember that in school

I used to fly my broom to school every day.

[tigereye]

19. it's making me laugh to picture that, Johnnie.

[caty]

12. A fairy tale

is a fairy tale. I don't care if it comes out of the bible or a Harry Potter book. Just as long as it's understood that it is fiction.

[CornField]

13. A mother once attacked me for letting my daughters read Narnia

You should have seen her face when I enlisted the help of a local pastor to tell/show her that Lewis was a devout Christian.

I'm not sure what has happened to people, but they have been brainwashed into believing anything remotely related to "fantasy" is not born of God.

[xmas74]

15. An old pastor of mine loved the Narnia chronicles.

He also loves Harry Potter and, rather surprisingly, one of his favorite movies of all time is Life of Brian.
He used to crack me up. I loved going to Sunday sermons when he was there.

[youthere]

25. I'm laughing because I know a fundie lady...

that went off on me for"letting" my kids read the Chronicles. Stupid, STUPID people.

[WI_DEM]

14. probably about the Salem Witch hunts and this yahoo thinks they

are teaching witchcraft!!

[Guy Fawkes]

16. I failed Witchcraft and Homosexuality 101...

I'm a bad person, I know.

[CornField]

27. Damn... no free toaster for you.

;)

[redqueen]

17. WTF... they already got rid of Halloween shit down here...

What the hell more do these psychos want?!

[Taverner]

18. Complete control over you and your children

And an end to critical thinking, that's all...

[tigereye]

21. but Harry is one of the good guys!

He fights evil.

(shakes head in wonder)

I wish these folks would actually put all their energy into doing something that is actually important!

:grr:

[Left Is Write]

24. I was pleased to note a large Harry Potter display at the Book Fair

at my daughter's elementary school last week.

There were also plenty of Halloween-themed books (among other holidays).

[redqueen]

22. Critical what now?

Is that like when we listen to Rush and just repeat what he says?

[indigo32]

26. Exactly -nt

[Left Is Write]

20. Well, for Pete's sake, we have to learn witchcraft SOMEWHERE.

[youthere]

23. Well damn...

If they're teaching witchcraft that means that they've finally opened their minds to something besides the uberchristian hate mongering...maybe I need to reconsider sending my kids back to public school. LOL.

[RedCloud]

28. The dyslexics are spelling dog backward again!

Wait til they do that to "straw".

[swimboy]

29. I had to learn my witchcraft on the streets. n/t
