Christians/Theists... why is it that ya'll think Harry Potter "bad"
January 10, 2014 at 3:18 am
So let me emphasize the reason of this post.
For the people who dont know my background (as probably no one does), i live in a christian home, father is a pastor and when they see me watching harry potter, they say its "bad". I ask why? Its just bad...
I fail to understand why people think its wrong or in some way have a correlation with satan...?
its like saying a hammer is bad...? why dont they say the same to Hulk or Captain America...? maybe Thor as well? its all fantasy!
This is most directed to theists but my fellow atheists are free to comment

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

Often times they don't even fully understand their reasoning for why they think it's bad. They're just telling you what they've already been told to believe. That's a common occurance in religion.

It is a law in leviticus. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Next time they say something tell them marriage after divorce carries the same penalty
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you."

So follow because it says? That's not convincing

Quoting scripture is all they can do.
Ask him about the verses where god kills everyone.
