Amazing! What Christly powers have they that they were able to produce a video espousing the evils of a book that would be written for another four years!
Too bad they couldn't get the video effects up to the futuristic 1997 standard. I guess all that Christ-Powered precognitive video transferal really broke the budget.
So THAT'S why in the last 10 or so years, ALL of the kids in my neighborhood, my little siblings, my nieces and nephews, and most kids around the world wear cloaks now, put spells on people and wear the "mark of the lighting bolt" on their foreheads? Well, we need to stop them and SAVE OUR CHILDREN!!! Turn their hearts back to JESUS!
So if Harry Potter is a problem because it deals with magic and such, then logically we should also ban Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin (you see where I'm going with this...) This is ridiculous. I'm surprised Christian parents (and zealots) haven't risen up against Disney and the Brothers Grimm years ago.
I am shocked to find that children are being exposed to our greatest fear--indeed, what are perhaps the worst things in the world: Latin, robes, Harry Potter, reading, and, worst of all, AFRICA!
I didn't know Africa was a forin' country. Thanks, Christians.
My local city power workers' union has a lightning bolt in its logo - does that mean they're Satanists or Nazis? Maybe both?
Believing in witches and fairies is as ridiculous as believing in virgin birth, transubstantiation, reincarnation... oh, wait.
DM, I agree, atheism doesn't have a future - that's cos we know it's over when you die. But unlike you, we haven't wasted our entire lives afraid of being asked to a quidditch game.
The reading of the Bible was banned in American schools? Since when? I was educated through public schools in Massachusetts. In one of my classes we had to read the Bible.
Of course, in that class we read it as literature, critically. The makers of this film probably want to use the Bible as a science textbook.
I saw He-Man as a kid and I can not tell you how many times I've helt my sword aloft the sky and yelled FOR THE POWER OF GREYSKULL and nothing happened. Years of therapy.
And spritual guidance from the church who told me changing water in to wine, killing everybody's oldest child with a curse the seven plagues and walking on water is alright, that that kind of magic is called miracles.
And whenever God tells you to kill the actual kid you've sworn to protect, you MUST obey Him.
i am an actual witch (or wiccan whatever you like to call me) but i or none of my my friends where converted by the harry potter books, that would be stupid and disappointing (i would love to cast the spells that they do- but meh, i fail) i find some christains quite aggresive in their beief and their need to convert the masses.. for wiccans however its a rule that you dont and your not allowed to join a coven until you reach eighteen except under exceptioal conditions. i dont believe in witches using animal sacrifice, possesion or anyof that.. we do however have wands cauldens spells potions brooms and robes (i dont wear a robe, it just helps you get in the mood rather then a nessesity) you can however orcording to silveravenwolf stay in any religion be it christian muslium hindu jew or whatever and still be a witch as its all religions not just one.
This is just so patently ridiculous I can't think of it as anything other than a very clever fake or parody of scaremongering films from the 50s (Reefer Madness anyone?).
And that Caryl Matrisciana. The so-called "expert opinion" to make the video seem legit. I thought she was just an actress...but...she's REAL! She has a website and everything, grew up in India, saw the secrets, was hunted by the Illuminati blah blah blah....and people actually BUY and READ her drivel?
I'm sorry but I don't think that a book series which strongly promotes a theme of love is something I should be hiding from my children. And I'm pretty sure that these kids don't prey on "innocent christian children". Ugh, so much ignorance.
Harry Potter IS leading our children away from Christ. I mean c'mon! The kiss from a witch protects him from danger. A magic cap that can control flying monkeys. And the only salvation for him and his friends are found through the power of an all-knowing sorcerer.
Wow they really hit the nail on the head with that report. Dead on! Especially the part of the practitioners of Wicca "take great joy out of seducing christian children into Wicca". That is sooooo true! I can't remember how many times those wacky Wiccans came up to me as a kid and did just that! It was such a nuisance!
I'm kind of sad this was edited so much. As a Pagan & a Potter fan, I actually own this movie because I heard about it from a religious studies course and was like, W.T.F.??? So of course had to buy it, from ebay, wasn't gonna pay full price for this crud. 90% of this movie is Matriciana talking, that one moment of that dude talking about devil worship is basically it. Caryl is super cray-cray!! I figured it out after the second watching (because I'm a masochist) that she's mostly the only person dumb enough to talk about how evil H.P. is because most people know it is ONLY FICTION (and stolen fiction at that.)
I actually own 'The Black Arts' book by Richard Cavendish shown at 1:16. It seems odd that they would choose to include it, as it is strictly a scholarly survey and history of magical thinking and the occult; the sort of thing you might read in a comparative religion class. I'm guessing that they just went to the new age section at Barns & Noble and photographed the books with the most 'evil' titles. The really ironic thing is that 99% of all the 'Black Magic' described in the book is Christianity-based; you sacrifice a black cat at midnight and then ask Jesus to help you give someone boils, or you invoke archangels to cause a maiden to become smitten with you. Hell, the most important Grimoire from the middle ages (Clavis Salomonis) was supposedly written by none other than King Solomon.
I thought this was a joke, I was about to make fun of you all for falling for it until I read what one of you said about this being an actual videotape.
Still going to make fun of all of you for being immature enough to still think you're cool for being prejudiced against Christians.
"Wow they really hit the nail on the head with that report. Dead on! Especially the part of the practitioners of Wicca "take great joy out of seducing christian children into Wicca". That is sooooo true! I can't remember how many times those wacky Wiccans came up to me as a kid and did just that! It was such a nuisance!"
My doorbell rang the other day and I opened it to a group trying to recruit. Or they might have been Christians? I didn't talk to them long enough to find out.
"Still going to make fun of all of you for being immature enough to still think you're cool for being prejudiced against Christians."
These people are not Christians. Søren Kierkegaard was a Christian, Augustine was a Christian, Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian. These people are not Christians.
Clavis Salomonis being written by King Solomon? The dates don't work out at all, try digging a bit more.
There are countless popular "Unchristian" things that a more conservative person could be concerned with. For example, almost every work by Aleister Crowley accessed by a simple google search. Unfortunately, there isn't a piggyback on advertising for that sort of stuff.
Really? Really? This video is so stupid. Honestly what if we keep showing movies about superheroes, soon the kids will start jumping off high surfaces thinking they will fly. Or movies about war? Don't you think those might have a bigger impact than Harry Potter? Its you kind of people who are to blame for all things that are controversial today!! Its as if you are trying to ruin all literature that isn't pure Christian?
I actually just got back from a seminar at school where one of the presenters had written an extensive essay on the topic of Harry Potter as compared to the Bible and Christianity. Growing up smack in the middle of the Bible belt (where parents were vigorously battling to get HP banned in schools) it was so refreshing to see it taken in another light. It's so easy for people to pick up on something and spin it so that it seems like what it really isn't. Hopefully -most- people's common sense will prevail. As for the others... :/
well well well i have a true comment to say if your a hater you need to get a life as long as your a hater you will be hated for ever and i am now one of them. GET A LIFE. if you have a problem with it then get out of writing.
We need to find out which curses are supposed to be "legitimate", then master them and simultaneously curse everyone involved in the production of this video. I'd suggest turning them into pond scum, but that would only elevate them, so it's not much of a punishment...
Robes and Latin words are problematic? So Catholic priests are witches, too? Kind of puts the whole molestation thing in perspective
ReplyDeleteIs it terrible of me that before I even heard Caryl Matrisciana utter a word, I assumed she had a southern accent?
ReplyDelete"Defense Against the Arts Teacher." Freudian slip?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! What Christly powers have they that they were able to produce a video espousing the evils of a book that would be written for another four years!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they couldn't get the video effects up to the futuristic 1997 standard. I guess all that Christ-Powered precognitive video transferal really broke the budget.
So these dopes actually believe in witchcraft, curses and, apparently, unicorns? Can they even BE modern Christians and swallow that stuff?
ReplyDeleteOh no. Owls and Latin, what is this world coming to?
ReplyDelete"Sucking the unicorn," eh? That is devilish.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody have a link for that site with the legitimate curses? Or do I have to buy the book for that?
ReplyDeleteBilling HP as "humorous, beautifully written, and EXTREMELY provocative reading" might have the opposite intended effect.
ReplyDeleteGotta watch out for those Latin words, those are what the *whispers* Catholics use!
ReplyDeleteFat n Boring: It's the hair.

I couldn't even watch the entire thing. *U_U* But really, lady; "Voldemore?" She couldn't even get the name right! *Sigh*
ReplyDeletePerhaps if the children were armed with actual wands and curses, there wouldn't be so many stories of clergy molesting them.
ReplyDeleteHey, CHRISTIANS...get you're own damn house in order before you go bitching about someone else. Oh, and STOP molesting kids!
speaking of witchcraft, you guys should probably watch "Ben Wagner."
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Africa was a forin' country. Thanks, Christians.

ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that Caryl Matrisciana can be so calm talking about this subject while seemingly traveling at light speed across the galaxy.
