It especially saddens me how many Christians think that Harry Potter, Halloween, etc are just "fun and games." They say things like "well, we don't look at it that way, we just do it for fun...we aren't thinking about Satan when we do it, so it's OK. We think that you can participate in these things in ways that still honor God. You are just being legalistic by trying to tell us differently. There's no way that God is upset by this..." etc, etc, etc.

Why should an omnipotent creator of the universe ever be upset by anything? Why would he need fundies to carry out his will? He, supposedly, made things what they are and could change them in an instant. That he doesn't intervene in human affairs shows that he either doesn't care or doesn't exist.
"There's no way that God is upset by this..."
It appears your god is upset by the most inane things. I'd think running a fucking universe would take up most of his time and concentration so that shit like Halloween or what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom wouldn't be too high on his list of interests. Apparently not though.

Because they are! Besides, J.K. Rowling is a Christian and as such, her books do contain Christian themes. Good vs. evil? Acceptance and tolerance of those who are different? Moral fiber and bravery in the face of injustice? Come on. In the seventh book, Rowling even put biblical verses on the gravestones of Harry's parents. Fundies are the ultimate killjoys.
"Acceptance and tolerance of those who are different?"
Come on, you know Christians don't believe in that.
The Sacred Code of Fundies.
7. Everything that people enjoy, especially anything that young people enjoy is the work of satan.
You stupid shithead...
The one major theme that runs throughout Harry Potter is the struggle of good against evil.
Guess who triumphs at the end?
Not Satan...
So that definitely proves your point about Harry Potter promoting Satanism.
Not.
I wonder if the irony of complaining about pagan celebrations while still celebrating christmass on the 24th of december would ever get through to that person.
For thsoe of you who dont know what I a short explanation. The winter solstice has been one of the oldest days of celebration is some pagan religions and chiristianity in its borg like ways assimilated into itself by moving the date of Christs birht to that, because it suited their needs.
They're probably living a more Christian life than you are. If I remember right, the bible basically tells you that there is nothing to fear if you have God on your side. If a faithful Christian can drink poison and not be harmed, I'm pretty sure that they can read books and beg for candy.
God is so whiny. "Ugh, you're dressing up as a vampire? Stop it! No you can't have a same-sex marriage, I think it's ICKY! You're reading Harry Potter? You must not love me! -sob-"
Why anyone would worship a being with the maturity of a tantrum-throwing five-year old is beyond me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
