New Mexico church holds book burning--claims Potter teaches children how to become wizards. Uh, Santa, when are you going to tell them there's no such thing as magic stones? What? You're stoned again? Santa!

heap the coals with lord of the rings and mists of avalon while yer at it.. eyeroll.

Of all the witchcraft books at the Barnes and Noble booktable Harry Potter was by far the tamest. A mom and her teen were across the table perusing these two books.

people need to trade in book burning for being just good old fashioned PRESENT in their childrens lives. A kid that knows that they matter is far less likely to do stupid shit.

Author: WN [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:59:24 01/02/02 Wed If they're so comfortable with their religion, how could a child learn wizardry and magic and topple their faith? "Believe what I believe or be wrong and go to hell." (sadly shaking head) (cleaning guns)
