Don't read Harry Potter!!... LoL

It's because articles like this, this and this (to find more, just browse Google for something like "witchcraft harry potter") that some er... gullible parents don't allow their children to read certain books which are actually harmless to them... books that could even play a good role on the creation of their personality, because they often talk about friendship, cooperation and so on. And they do not criticise christianism (after all, they have a Christmas party at Hogwarts, LoL) at all, but I think it wouldn't be bad if they did. After all, in most countries we have the right to express our opinions freely, SINCE we don't say offensive things without real proofs. And we can't libel a book if we haven't read it first. The poor J. K. Rowling is just facing the envy of those frustrated writers who are desperated to sell a book :P A person who is mentally healthy won't say that a Harry Potter is a Satan's weapon... LoL.
But hey!! Harry Potter has made me become an atheist! First of all, I have joined a lot of groups in the internet about the series. One year later, one girl I had known in one of these groups has indicated me a Wiccan site, which I liked. Then, I started browsing for things about the religion, and I decided to become a wiccan. And it is a religion based in respect for People and Nature, regardless of the things you might be hearing. In the meanwhile, I've read some things about other religions too. Soon, very soon, I realized that I believed in no divine entities and I couldn't go on with that stupidity for much longer. There was a period when I still had doubts about the existence of godesses or gods, or whatever it is, but a few months later I declared myself as an atheist (when I say I declared I'm speaking seriously... it was a shock to my mother to know this, LMAO), and today I am still building my concept of life. So, yeah, Harry Potter did make me become an atheist, LooL... and it was so indirectly that I can hardly see someone become satanic just because they have read the books.
I mean, today there are so many books denoucing the crimes of the catholic church (and others), so why do they mess up with J. K. Rowling, who has simply written a fantasy book based in other stories that she heard, and, of course, in our own immaginary? Nasty.
And if you ask, NO, I'm not a fan anymore, but I still like the series. And NO, I haven't bought the sixth book yet, because I don't have money nor patience, and I'm not that anxious about it.

Wow, the cat has just haunted an horrible insect that was flying around the room. I love her so much! :P

Wop, bye-bye, gotta watch the novel at the tv =)

This post was very interesting to me. I wasn't particularly interested in Harry Potter and I didn't really care about the books. The only reason I started reading them was this ultra-Christian holier than holy friend I had, who declared them "evil!" and "unfit for her children" so I asked her what was so bad about them, at which point it was revealed that she'd never actually READ any of them! She just knew they were evil because her pastor said so! Which sounded worse to me than whatever the books might say - so I set right out to read them immediately! Sorry for such a long comment but this post struck a nerve.

Yeah, that's a real proof for what I was saying, LoL... They talk about the books without know what is written on them! Sorry?! Don't say that, I absolutely love big comments =D
