Priests burning Harry Potter and Twilight books in Poland

[Ifreann]

That's a bit unfair.

I mean, she's not a demon.

She's a Witch or a Demon, pick your poison.

A demon would write better and a witch would support Scottish independence.

A middle aged-Harry Potter loses his job to an immigrant from Wizarding Poland and becomes a UKIP voter/Death Eater.

“We have to go Harry,” Dumbledore said quitley.
“To where?” Harry asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
“We have to go the destabilize the Polish government. They’re Death Eaters!” Dumbledore responded, curtly

Or it could be a prequel story about Harry's great-granddad who was a Secret Service agent in Warsaw in 1938, trying to warn the government about the impending invasion by the Nazis.

That's actually the working title of the newly-announced HP novel, in which Harry will fight against "a group of evil secretly-Voldemort-worshipping Polish priests who were crushed by the giant pile of dicks they tried to suck, and their mothers are stupid sluts too!"

She writes terribly but its simple enough for children to understand and as such she now has an army of millenials and gen z supporting her in her campaign to spread evil. I don't know what side a witch would take in a constitutional issue like this but her ideas are practically in line with the SNP anyway.

I don't think she has quite the fandom that you imagine. People still like the books, sure, but I don't think Rowling herself has very many fans.

She opposed Scottish independence. Openly supported voting against it ahead of the referendum.

I... excuse me, what? No, it's not about whether or not she writes horribly - that's a matter of opinion, and I cannot give it because I have never read them before, but spreading evil? That sounds a little bit of a stretch, isn't it?

I am not sure what's happening with her and Twitter, or what the flipping heck she's doing with her characters, but... to accuse J. K. Rowling of spreading witchcraft is just plain weird to me.

"No Harry, you're a Freedom Fighter. Now put on this balaclava."

She voted against Independence...

As did I.

I wanted to say something witty about "GOBLET OF FIYAH", but... I got nothing.

You talk about a fictional author that gets memes posted about them like they're Hitler or something

Are you Alex Jones?

Still wondering if those items are newly bought. I would find it hilarious if they where.

I asked from one of my Polish pals and she said that the people who joined with book burning brought their own books from home.

Up to them if they want to destroy their own property. They already supported the author by buying the books.

"Ronald, no!", screamed Hermoine, with a kick that would have outright snapped the wand of a lesser man. "We can't offer to partition magical Poland between the Order and the Death Eaters".

As did I.

Being English, she didn't vote.

It was a mistake to elect Neville Longbottom to be Minister of Magic.

I also have English, French and Flemish ancestry. However, when people try to make this debate about the purity of your lineage, things start getting a little Death Eaterish for my taste.

Have the priests forgotten the New Testament? Have they forgotten judge not lest ye be judged?

Those books are not for them to judge nor burn. It is up to the reader what they read.

This is why the atheism rate is rising rapidly globally. Religious leaders are acting like mental patients.

In addition religious leaders go around deluding people into being controlled by a book! That right there is idolatry!

For God put his spirit into the world! We are not controlled by a book or a books laws, but we are governed by the spirit!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Jesus didn’t die on a cross so that people could sit in church pews for hours on end while paying for their mansions and jets (I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU BILL GRAHAM YOU POS!)

Jesus didn’t die so that we would have to obey all of the thousands of absurd laws in that antique book.

Jesus died so that his spirit would govern over us. Jesus died so that he would be the one and only sin offering.

If you’re a religious nut job go ahead, don’t buy twilight and Harry Potter and leave them on the shelf at the library. But you have no legal right to control what other people read.

Every so called priest that engaged in those book burnings should be charged with destruction of property and be forced to repay for the replacement of those books.

As a minister I am outraged. We are not here to judge and destroy things or people. We are here to educate and enlighten. We are here to spread the love of the spirit.

What these priests do is spread fear and control over their congregants. They do not embody God but they echo the grip of Satan and his prison in which he controls the humans mind and actions.

I mean, they’re burning their own books...this is essentially free publicity. S’not like they stole other people’s copies and then burned them.

No, their symbol is a lion. Clear goody symbol.

Besides that little point, I think his point still stands.

Ah yes making mockery of contemporary progressive attitudes towards sexuality is a no no but insinuating that Catholic Priests are all gay is okay? I wonder if you'd be as silent if someone were to insinuate all Imams were terrorists, or all Rabbis were pedophiles for Bris Milah mouth suction.

Even supposing you take the theological stance that consensual gay sex is sinful, it is in no way comparable to terrorism and pedophilia.

If we take a "Sin is Sin" idea, then he has committed the sin of Hatred multiple times in his life and is no way to judge anybody.

On the other hand, if we use a "Some sins are worse than others" idea, then maybe Gays aren't spawns of Satan and are just a bit queer?

But that's beside the point. What matters is that maybe we shouldn't burn books out of primitive barbarism.
