I know that “Harry Potter is the Harbinger of the Apocalypse” meme is old hat (ANCIENT, EVIL HAT!), but (a) Katherine is deep into reading the books, so obviously I’m concerned that she’s going to attack us our sleep with an Crucius (LATIN!) curse or something, and (b) Topless Robot featured this video today.
OMG! LATIN! THOR WORSHIP! HITLER! COMPELLING READING!
And let’s not even get started on the movies …
Or, as TR puts it:
• I don’t know what the fuck is up with the dude dancing in the skunk mask, but of all the possibilities, I’d be genuinely relieved if he turned out to only be a witch.
• So… Latin words are satanically and witchy now? Someone should’ve have informed the Roman empire.
• Cassettes? Those bastards!
• “…they can go to the website to get legitimate curses”? Excuse me, ma’am, but I’m pretty sure the Geocities page with the creepy goat mask isn’t the official Harry Potter website for the books, movies or author.
• Yes, Harry Potter is actually Hitler. Good catch. And Hitler was evil… and a Satan-worshipping witch. So this argument truly comes full circle.
• “Africa… or some other country.”
• Yes, it’s just appalling that school also horrifying texts like Harry Potter and forbids the Bible, with its uplifting tales of sex, incest, murder, prostitution, slavery, infanticide (Hosea 13:16), genocide (2 King 10: 18-27), human sacrifice (Leviticus 27: 28-19), children mauled by bears sent by God for mocking a bald man (4 Kings 2:23-24), women raped to death and then dismembered by her husband (Judges 19:22-30), a man demanding his daughter’s suitor bring him 100 foreskins and the suitor collecting 200 just for kicks (1 Kings 18:25-27), and God tormenting a human by killing his entire family just so he can win a bet with Satan (the entirety of the book of Job). Look, I’m not actually trying to knock anyone’s religion here. I’m just saying people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones… even though God says stoning is okay (Deuteronomy 13:10) and Harry Potter probably wouldn’t approve.
I’d forbid Katherine from reading any more of this Satanic garbage, but (a) she’s cast an Imperius Curse on us, and thus we must do everything she tells us, and (b) we’re Episcopalian, so we’re probably frying in Hell anyway.
As long as you keep her away from D&D and its three six-sided dice (666!).
Woot! Natural 18! It’s the Attribute of the Devil!
Are you guys being serious? Thanks heavens if you’re not, and if you are, how daft do you have to be to believe this stuff? I hope that your sane, and not those nuts who believe this, DnD is fine too, believe me, I’ve played it. It is quite boring. Get some more I.Q. points,
-(If I love Harry Potter, I MUST be worshiping the devil, right? [HOW stupid do you have to be???])
Rest assured my posting this (and comments about it) are firmly tongue in cheek regarding these kind of nutty fearmongers about Harry.
