[Re. Dumbledore]
All across Europe, America, and across the world, schoolroom children are now being sold on homosexuality through their beloved Harry Potter infatuation. Whereas normal children would shun the idea of homosexual sex, they're now forced to seriously reconsider, since one of the beloved Harry Potter' characters is gay.

David would argue that it must be so; after all, a fictional character can make people gibbering, hate-fuelled, paedophiles - just look at David himself.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Dumbledore's sexuality is only mentioned once in a source other than the main books. I mean, wouldn't the kids really have to look for it AND if they found it, it really wouldn't affect them one way or the other?
I had no idea fictional characters wielded so much power. If that's true Davey, watch me turn a whole generation of girls into lesbians:
BAM!

I swear, some people are so warped...
Kid Cthulhu has spoken.
As usual, satanists like Dave Stewart focus their pseudo-Christianity on one of few things they know--lust.
But real Christians know that Jesus was against ALL lust. Whereas sodomites are horrible criminals, lust embracing liars like Dave are not much different. Unless they repent and accept Jesus and His gift of Salvation, they'll all go to the same Hell. Praise!
That said, Harry Potter books are well known to be satanic. Pastor David J. Meyer researched these and wrote very conclusively about this filth well over a decade ago:http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract7.html
And, as with any other satanic writ, these Harry Potter books are a way to perdition. And they ought be dealt with as exemplified in Acts 19:19 of the Christian Bible.
In the name of the Lord,
actually, Dumbledore's one of the more commonly reviled characters in the Potter fandom.
comes from Rowling's sloppy planning. she wrote the first few books for a very young audience, and Dumbles was basically santa claus in a different outfit; then, a few books in, it looks almost as if she tried to retarget the series for the young-adult market, but she hadn't planned it out as such from the start.
what happens when you put an ill-fleshed-out children's book character in a young-adult setting without having planned out the worldbuilding very carefully ahead of times? well, your audience starts to ask uncomfortable questions about the character's motivations and reasoning, and next thing you know, there's a slave rebellion among the elves in santa's toy factory. even so, Dumbledore gets reviled as a child-abusive scheming callous manipulator. somewhat unfairly, because too few think to consider the main character as a potentially unreliable narrator.
Nowhere in the book does it say Dumbledore is gay. That's author's commentary.
@Nomen,
Much as I liked Harry Potter, I think the two biggest flaws are that Rowling isn't that good at math (really) and that she didn't plan ahead, like you said. Teleportation being a standard ability is one thing.
...and yet you relie d on his 'jesus-is-lord.com' site so much, Jerky.
But 'Real Christians' know that when they relie on that by liars like Dave, they'll go to the same Hell.
Lying is the way to Perdition. And anything in Perdition should be 'Dealt With', eh? Be careful what you wish for, Jerkoff...! >:D
Hey DJS, did you know that the first Harry Potter book came up in 1997 ? ('98 in the States.) The average 10-year-old who was reading it at that point is now 29 . I think by that point they've had other sources of information about sex than a couple of author's interviews.
(Since I don't normally associate with kids, unlike certain people - is Harry Potter still a big thing, or has some other fad come up to displace it?)
Dumbledore being gay is old news. I think the main reason for DJS's latest rant is the fact that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them is out in cinemas and there is also Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Even when this was big news, the cynic in me always thought that this was a way to extend the Religious Right's hysteria about Harry Potter so that the Potterverse would get more attention and therefore more books and cinema tickets would be sold.
No, children learn about homosexuality from the churches to which their parents drag them. The only amusing thing about that is the thought of all those awkward questions around the table at Sunday dinner, when the seven-year-old says "Mom, what's sodomy?" And the four-year-old think it's a funny word and makes a song out of it, and goes around the house singing "so-do-my-so-do-my-so-do-my-FUCK!"
How many people at Hogwarths? Societal stats place homosexuality at at least 7%. It's a given some are gay, just like yours and Jerrys church and extended families.
The Gotham series has just revealed that Penguin is gay for the Riddler.
Some comic boards must be on fire now. I remember the whole shitstorm when Marvel announce Northstar as gay.
Okay, I don't recall the books themselves ever stating Dumbledore was gay. That came from statements from Rowling after the final book was released. And by then the avid readers of the first books were pretty grown up.
Not only would you have to go online and specifically search for it, but all it does is show that homosexual people are just as human as the rest of us.
Besides, I'd rather have my children be taught homosexuality is alright through beloved novels than by having them be taught pedophilia is alright by being raped by an evil old man.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
