Christian Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter is a depraved movie series that is corrupting children with the thoughts of unnatural teenage sex and infatuation with demonic sorcery.
Every parent out there should be on full alert, as the latest movie in the series is entitled Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and is the equivalent of letting your child snort cocaine and then go to a pornographic version of a Ozzy Osborne concert.
The film kicks off the sinful sixth year at ‘Hogwarts’, a church of Satan where the film’s protagonists learn anti-Christian chants and teachings. This naturally serves the Hollywood atheist agenda of making our children disillusioned with our nation’s Lord and Savior.
One quickly finds that the characters in this newest Harry Potter flick have fully taken on their adult persona, by the more crass attitude, language and sexual innuendo being thrown about.
A teenage boy’s mind is naturally pure and does not think about things like fornicating with a girl, unless implanted by the enemy. Enter Hermione Granger!
Last week Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) was seen parading about in the rain, revealing her pantiedrawers so that she could infest young teenage boys’ minds with sick feelings of sin in their thingies. This was all just a ploy to get more people to see the movie.
This movie starts off in typical Wiccan fashion. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) comes across a sorcerer’s book that is written by a mysterious person named the ‘Half Blood Prince’ (aka Satan).
Instead of burning this book in a fire, just like any decent person should immediately do to any work written by Mr. JK Rowling, Harry Potter makes a deal with the devil and starts performing the book’s magic.
All of his wizard friends become impressed with his new ‘level’ of being able to perform dark arts and blood rituals, including a new professor on the rostrum named Slughorn.
Oh, let’s not forget about the homogay agenda. The omnipresent Dumbledore of course makes his presence known, much to the pleasure of male secretaries and nurses worldwide if you get my drift.
Dumbledore uses his carefully mouthed words and deep stares to entice Harry Potter to spy and do secret surveillance on Slughorn. The hidden implications of this should be obvious.
If all of these things were not anti-child enough, this movie takes another step into the mire of immorality by pushing love triangles and soap-opera romance between teens.
The teenage years of one’s life is not for thinking about relationships with the other gender, but rather taking up good hobbies and devoting oneself to studies.
This movie tries to make it seem like it’s all about sexual gratification and fake puppy love, all veiled ways Satan commonly uses to cause teen pregnancy in young girls nationwide.
It is no coincidence that Harry Potter is responsible for higher incidence of teen pregnancy and drug use, and with this latest darker, edgier addition to the film series do not be surprised to find teens turning up dead in alleys only weeks after seeing this depraved filth.
Some scenes between Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were so dirty and full of teen-dating/relationship innuendo that I nearly got up and left the screening several times.
The movie ends in typical Hollywood fashion, with the ending actually being quite reminiscent of The Empire Strikes Back.
After enduring the 2 1/2 hour long sin hormones fest that is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I fail to see why any good parent would let their innocent son or daughter into the theater to see this film.
While the film is masterfully shot in deep, muted ways that would make Satan feel right at home, it shines bright with the sparkling luster of sugar-coated sin.

“with the thoughts of unnatural teenage sex”
The book had no sex in it, so I highly doubt that the movie does. Seeing as how the majority of Harry Potter fans are children, it would be a big mistake to put sex into the movie.
“is the equivalent of letting your child snort cocaine and then go to a pornographic version of a Ozzy Osborne concert.”
Um, no…no it’s not.
“A teenage boy’s mind is naturally pure and does not think about things like fornicating with a girl”
That’s only true if the teenage boy happens to be gay…in which case he would think about fornicating with other boys.
“It is no coincidence that Harry Potter is responsible for higher incidence of teen pregnancy and drug use”
Please cite your source. Oh that’s right, you don’t have one! You just pulled that “statistic” out of your gaping asshole! (by the way, Dan, if you insert both hands into your rectum and are able to clap them together, the objects that you are using in there are too big.

Hey Adam, you know something funny? Greek Gods came WAY before God was even thought of. Christianity is nothing more but one big f***ing cult. Built to warp our minds of what is right and what is wrong. And Adam, haha, you know that jesus never claimed to be the actual SPAWN of God, he said and I quote, ‘I am a son of God as you are all sons and daughters.’ you expect this nation to bow down to a God that doesn’t exist? Why would anyone be a slave to people who think they’re so much better because they have an imaginary friend? You christians f***ing make me sick. So let me guess, you have to dress prim and proper to go to church? What about homeless people who can’t afford to dress properly? Is God gonna shun them away?

“Hey Adam, you know something funny? Greek Gods came WAY before God was even thought of. ”
Instead of posting on here, you need to read the Bible; specifically, the book of Corinthians. Women were ordered to remain silent in church and ask their husbands question in private.
They had to do this so they wouldn’t make silly statements like ‘Greek Gods came WAY before God…’. God is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Before the first ‘Greek’ was even a zygote in its mother’s womb, God was and always will be.

Ok, FIRST OFF, Ozzy Osborne is awesome I don’t know what your problem is, two what the hell is wrong with you? Just because it’s giving children IMAGINATION, you want to F***ing dog on it? Maybe you don’t know what a real parent does but letting a child have an imagination is NOT A BAD THING! That’s where artists come from you twit. There is NO sexual innuendo here, either you’re taking this WAY out of proportion or YOU are snorting cocaine! And for your information dude, you wanna start smearing Harry Potter on sexual things, Jesus wasn’t exactly your picture perfect model, He slept with Mary Magdalene. And you want to get all huffy about this book being about TEEN Pregnancies. Excuse the F*** out of you but I’ve read each and every one of them. The only thing that it talks about at all is KISSING YOU WANKER! At the end YEAH it does talk about them having kids but guess what? IT’S WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN MARRIED! You take this WAY out of f***ing proportion . You think this is the reason for drugs and teen pregnancies, HA! And F.Y.I. Homosexuals also COME FROM THE BIBLE! READ THE BIBLE AGAIN!

this is the most idiotic, ignorant, ridiculous article i have ever read. i saw the movie and didn’t particularly enjoy it, but not at all because of this hyper-exaggerated bullshit. i can’t believe someone could be so narrow minded and asinine as to write something like this and post it for everyone to see, no matter what the film is about; some films are obviously made with poor taste or are just flat out disgusting, of course, but the statements made here are thoughtless and absurd.
but since i know i won’t be able to say anything that will change your views or, in your mind, correct what you’ve written, i’ll just say this:
i am so glad that i don’t have to deal with people like you on a day to day basis.
and congratulations for sitting through the “equivalent of snorting cocaine and then go to a pornographic version of a ozzy osborne concert” for the sole purpose of ridiculing it on the internet. there’s probably a sin in there somewhere, but if not, it’s still stupid.

You crazy christians are absolutely ridiculous. I can’t even beleieve any of the bullshit you wrote. You are out of your mind. The books are fiction: aka the movies are fiction. People were on drugs and pregnant before this movie and they always will be. There is no “devil” in this movie. If you’re reffering to Snape(the half blood prince) he isn’t the devil, he’s on the “dark side.” And there is no sex in any of the movies. There is a little bit of kissing. That is completely normal you, virgin fuck.
My mom isn’t a bad parent for allowing me to enjoy this series. She’s a hella good mother! She raised me right and I love her.
Watching a fiction movie is certainly not the equivalent to having your child do drugs and going to pornographic version of an Ozzy Osborne concert, you illminded freak.
Hogwarts is a school for wizardry, not a “church of satan.”
They don’t learn anti christian chants and teachings they learn spells to make things productive for wizards or to defend themselves. if you’ve noticed, it mentions in the movie that they banned dark magic from the curiculum and Tom Riddole was interested in it hence why he is Vauldemort.
And by the way, people have a right to raise their children how they want and they shouldn’t shove their own religions down their young childs throat. Personally, I don’t believe in God. My parents do, but they let me make my own choices and own mistakes, which I might add I don’t make very often because I’m a bright young lady. The characters in this movie don’t act like adults, they take on their own responsibilities, as they should, and they also act adolescence. Normal. They talk like normal people, they act like normal people. They say what normal people say and they do what normal people do.
A teenaged boys mind is not naturally pure. Boys and girls have hormones and those hormones give teenagers “feelings in their thingies.”
“Hermione Granger” aka Emma Watson is not the reason boys like girls and like fornicating with them. It’s natural and it’s a part of life. How on earth do you think you were born? Do you think you’re mother is the virgin Mary and you’re a magical piece of art? You’re mom had sex. You’re mom gave birth to you, unfortunetly.
By the way, an erection is not a sick feeling of sin in their penis, understand?
It’s natural, and it’s blood.
In the movie, Harry does not make a deal with the devil. He finds a book and he thinks, at first, that it is just like everyone else’s on the inside, so he uses it for his assignment in class and it guides him in the right direction. He was the only one to successfully complete the assignment in the class. He is therefore interested and he decides to keep it and read it. The book was written, not by satan, but by Snape. Any “decent person” wouldn’t burn the book, I garuntee you that.
Ms. Rowling writes books full of imagination as any child should have. This movie isn’t all about sex or “puppy love” it’s about wizards and what Harry needs to do to save himself and the others at Hogwarts. And where on earth did you hear Harry was responsible for deaths, teen pregnancy or drug use, you psychopath.
FYI: crazy bitch. Satan and God are not real until you show me proof. and you all may have your opinions in which I completely respect but this psychotic human being who wrote this review was way out of line and I heartlessly wouldn’t mind if they fell off the face of the earth, quite frankly. Sorry if I was at all rude.

Hi, Jess. You said, “And there is no sex in any of the movies. There is a little bit of kissing. That is completely normal you, virgin f***.”
It seems you are a little confused about how human pregnancy works. Without getting too crass, kissing actually does lead to pregnancy.
This is why children and teens should not see such films; they are perpetuating a falsity that kissing cannot necessarily lead to teenage pregnancy; this is why we have such high incidence of teen pregnancy and abortion these days.
It all starts with two people fornicating with the mouth and then the secret parts become inflamed with sin, and then the next thing you know you have a child on your hands. That is no good.
So, yes, the movie is pornographic as it shows a situation that will lead kids to having sex and by all means, that should be illegal.
Also, please refrain from cursing. It is not very polite and is offensive to my eyes. Thanks!

Hey Dan,
I was raised to be Christian. But articles like this makes me want to burn people like you.
Yes, BURN.
Firstly, J.K. Rowling is a WOMAN. And an extremely imaginative, intellectual woman at that.
Secondly, saying Kissing leads to pregnancy? I’m 17, I’ve kissed many guys, had a few boyfriends, but that doesn’t mean I dropped my pants for them. Get a fucking life (oh SHIT I cursed, did that offend your retarded Christian eyes?)
I’ve an extremely dirty mind (Oh yeah, a Christian with a dirty mind, whatcha gunna do? Send me to hell??) yet not once in the entirety of that movie did I find any innuendo’s.
And this part is for Adam,
Your retarded.
Did your mother hate you? Is that why your such a little fuck?
I bet it is.. Adam..Don’t be mad at mommy..=]
I don’t believe in God anymore, so fuck it, fuck christianity. Bring on Atheism =D. Especially after this. Sure, I went to christian school, learnt about God, made my communion and confirmation… But can you give me one piece of evidence that the apostles (or whoever) actually wrote this? and that its not a fictional book like Harry Potter?
Ugh, seriously…this article made me laugh and want to gouge your eyes out with a crucifix at the same time.

Count yourself lucky, because you can get STI and other diseases like herpes then pregnancy all from kissing. Just because you dodged the bullet so far does not mean you won’t be on the road to destruction if you don’t start practicing full abstinence from all things sinful, especially abstaining from horrific movies like this Blood Drinking prince. It’s twice as bad as Twilight with the homosexual vampires.
Also, you may need to restudy human anatomy and physiology, or perhaps take some courses in it next year if you choose to go to college. Kissing eventually leads to sin and the sin leads to pregnancy. That’s just how it’s work and it’s been that way for the last 6000 years, since the fall of man. You have no need but to go romance kissing anyone but your husband.

Just stay in mom’s basement and leave Christianity to the real decent people.
I am a Christian and I believe in God. Believe me, this isnt the majority of the true believers. What this guy believes is a perversion of my religion. While I do believe we have a moral obligation to be responsible to our families and in society, I do not believe it is my right to enforce that ideal or my beliefs upon others. It is your choice to decide what you want to do.
But this guy makes me sick. I am a decent human being, this sack of shit is not.
On topic, Harry Potter is a FANTASY series. I never got the urge to abandon Christianity and go become a Wiccan…And the sex and violence is mild compared to the other shit hollywood comes out with. Harry Potter is a good story, the fight of good and evil. It showcases the worst and best of our humanity. I love the books and I love the movies. Anyone who bashes it can go write something better and see if they can become a billionare like Mrs. Rowling.

The bible does not forbid the use of the bad words we have been told we have grown up with. As a matter of fact, the english language we know was not invented yet at the time of the bible’s writing. So no, your premise and logic is flawed. The only thing that can be considered bad is taking the Lord’s name in vain. AKA “God damn” or any variation of that. The bad words we grew up with are unpleasant to be sure, but they are not forbidden by any sense of religion.
And God does not speak of marriage hardly in the bible. Wife can mean “mate”. I barely see mentions of any formal ceremonies in the bible in the purest sense of the word. Adam and Eve were not married either. At least not in a ceremony, but rather marriage of the heart. What does a ceremony matter except in legal matters? As long as you love someone unconditionally, marriage as a ceremony matters little in His view. Marriage of the heart….that is all God really requires when you are with someone.

Well Dan, you have entirely made half the internet believe that Christianity is insane. I have been a Christian for a few years, and see nothing wrong with Harry Potter at all. I am a huge fan, I think J.K. Rowling is a fantastic, captivating writer. The only errors I have come across are in your own theology.
As you stated, “A teenage boy’s mind is naturally pure and does not think about things like fornicating with a girl, unless implanted by the enemy. Enter Hermione Granger!” According to the Bible and Christian belief itself, every human is born into sin. If this is true, then your statement is completely contradictory to what you say you believe in.
As for Hermione Granger, her character is in no way portrayed to show off her assets that would induce lustful thinking. She is an intelligent, out-spoken girl, which is more than I can say for a majority of girls today.
Please stop publishing uneducated, inaccurate articles that destroy the reputation of intellectual Christians everywhere. As for your constant avoidance of the word penis and vagina (which happens to be basic anatomy), its just silly. This article is silly.

I’ve never once seen a Harry Potter movie, or read a book and thought “Hmm, I could go for some sex right now.” I’m not saying every character in Harry Potter is moral, I’m merely saying that you are blowing things out of proportion.

Dan, I tried to refrain from cursing as much as I could, trust me.
But you are out of your mind and I just couldn’t help it sometimes.
And I am not ‘confused’ as to how pregnancy works.
You get pregnant by having sex which is not kissing.
Kissing can SOMETIMES lead to sex but that doesn’t always mean that because someone is kissing, they are going to have sex.
If people are planning to have sex, then they are going to have sex whether they are kissing or not.
I have kissed, and I have had sex.
I know what goes down and what leads to what, it seems as though you’re a tad unexperienced in that department though considering you don’t know what you’re talking about and you try to pretend you do.
Just because there is a kiss, by no means will they be having sex.
I have kissed many many people and have had sex with only one.
And I didn’t have sex with him because we were kissing, I did it because I love him and he loves me and we were ready.
And teenaged girls and boys are attracted to each other and tend to act “slutty” and have sex anyway. It doesn’t matter if they’ve seen Harry Potter or not and I am pretty sure not all of them and maybe many of them have not even seen the series themselves.
Kids have sex.
It’s something I don’t personally agree with but it happens and Harry Potter is not the cause of that.

Hi, Jess. You stated, “Dan, I tried to refrain from cursing as much as I could, trust me.
But you are out of your mind and I just couldn’t help it sometimes.
And I am not ‘confused’ as to how pregnancy works.
You get pregnant by having sex which is not kissing.”
It still seems you are a bit confused here. Kissing is the preamble to sinful relations in non-married couples. Over 90% of relationships that end up with pregnancy start out with kissing.
When two people kiss, it causes chemical reactions which cause aggravation of the body’s secret parts. Inside the bounds of marriage between a loving man and woman, this is a wonderful process ordained by God.
Outside that though, it is nothing but filth and sin. A man has no business letting sin make his thingie tough with sin so he may fornicate an unmarried harlot all the night long, bringing shame to both them as the fertile holy place is not meant for such actions.
Harry Potter does tempt kids into lifestyles that any good parent should not approve. The mind of a child has the capability to sin, and yes, we all need to be washed with Christ’s love and mercy to enter the kingdom of heaven, for the case of humanity is sin due to the actions of Eve.
This is no way means that a kid is naturally inclined to do evil or bad, it’s just that they can be lead into evil. The Bible says ‘lead me not into temptation’, as our natural default state is still to know and do good.
The Bible says for parents to raise children in the way of the Lord, the way they should go, and they will not depart.
Harry Potter seeks to lead children into temptation and away from the Lord, and therefore is one of the most dangerous movies ever created. Hopefully this clears things up for you.

Dan, I must again argue with your theological implications. We as humans, to do not naturally want to know and do good. This is basically square one of why Christianity associates itself with Jesus Christ saving them. The fall of man occurred because of man and woman, Eve may have been the first, but you are disregarding the fact that both were responsible. It doesn’t really matter whose fault it was, the point is we are saved by grace alone from Jesus. So because man has fallen, yes we are naturally inclined to sinful, evil nature.
Luke 18:18-19 says this, And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
We are not good people Dan, we are humans. As for your remarks on kissing, it is absolutely silly. I can personally say that I maintained a relationship with a girl for almost 2 years. Both of us are still today strong believers in Jesus Christ and during those 2 years we kissed all the time. We never once did anything more than kissing. It was us showing affection, not demanding sexual gratification.

Dan, I’m not confused about anything.
You said “Over 90% of relationships that end up with pregnancy start out with kissing.”
No, not 90%.
EVERY relationship starts out with kissing. Honestly, in what relationship do people not kiss one another? And a kiss is usually the spark to having a relationship with that person because you just connect. And I don’t necessarily mean sexually, but emotionally.
And also, there are people who kiss and have sex and end up married and still have sex, even unprotected, and they still do not end up with a baby or even a pregnancy at all.
Another thing. Dan, I’m sorry to break this to you. But God is not real. Judging by what you stand by I don’t think I’d ever be able to convince you, but you’re living a lie.
And don’t get me wrong, I completely respect you for standing up for what you believe in but you’re a little over the top.
Sin isn’t real, God isn’t real.
Kissing and sex is natural.
It’s a part of life and it always will be. I do think there are kids who have sex who are way too young and I don’t approve of it mainly because it’s something I guess I am just not used to, just like many others.
But the real reason is because younger people are not emotionally or physically ready for sexual activity. But those who are should be able to have sex and not be judged by people like you.
I personally think that if two people are truly TRULY in love, none of that puppy love in middle school and most of high school, but if you truly love someone than you should be able to have sex with them when the both of you are ready. And when you’re ready, you just know. And when you really love someone, you just know. You don’t have to be married.
There are people who are in a real long term relationship and never get married but they still act like they are and they are happy together forever.
The reason why premarital sex is so looked down upon is because it CAN(does not mean it will) lead to pregnancy and teenagers are not ready to handle a baby.
It has nothing to do with sin.
And there is always abortion, something I’m not a fan of because I believe it’s murder. And there is also adoption if you really can’t bring a baby into your home.
And there are always condoms and birth control pills and so many contraceptives for having sex.
I’ve had sex many times with the man I love.
We are not married, we’ve yet to be pregnant.
We don’t have any STDs, we’re completely clean.
And it’s not a sin.

Harry Potter is the to graphic and sinful for children?
There are no better porn writers than the authors of the Bible. Consider the unbridled eroticism of the Song of Solomon. Or if you want hardcore smut, incest, rape, sexual mutilation, voyeurism, watersports, fornication, adultery, etc., look no further than your family Bible. Christians justify the sex therein as “contextualized” with a “moral message.” Wrapping porn in a morality tale is the oldest ploy of smut peddlers. No one reads the endings anyway, but including a moral message salves the conscience of the pious. It’s one way to have your…, shall we say “cake,” and eat it, too.
Although this uplifting tale of the whores, Aholah and Aholibah gives a much needed moral lesson against the sins of the flesh, why does God have to describe their adventures in such pornographic detail? Is God a lover of porn?
Would any parents want their children to compare the size of men’s penises to donkey genitals and the sperm flow to that of horse issues? Apart from giving their daughters false expectations, think of the harm it will do to a young boy’s self esteem, it also leads to the question:
Why Do Christians Want To Pervert Our Children?

Dan,
I am sorry to say that you have this entirely wrong. Kissing is an act by which we greet, show love (without having sex), and heal hurts. Kissing is an act that was done in the Bible out of love and I know what your thinking.. Not that kind of kissing and while I may agree with you that kissing on a very intimate level can lead to some very immoral things I would like to say that it is not always so. You are being very judgemental and making Christians as a whole look absurd. Believe me when I say readers not all christians are as this man has percieved us to be. I loved the Harry Potter series and think it was wonderful. I didnt care for this movie as I felt it lacked imagination and effect however I liked the books. Not all of us tak things so literally. Oh and Dan a question for you… Have you ever watched any movie, tv show or read any book, watched the news or even a doumentary that was not entirely based on the Bible? If you have then (and yes I dare to judge here) You yourself have sinned so why would you do as Christ commanded us not too. “Let only he who is without sin cast the first stone.” I am sorry Dan but I think you need to rethink your place in this world. Obviously as you can not contain yourself to merely facts (some of which you do realize are not even fact but your own personal opinions) and have a violent need to throw out vulgar statements about other people. It is not a sin to call body parts byu their proper names and I have never once read a book or watched a movie in this series and then said to my husband, “Oh hunny that movie (book) was a turn on… Can we Please?” Seriously your nonsense is making everyone who believes in JC get a bad rap.

Dan, I’m a teenager and I’ve hugged, kissed, had sex, and you know what? Everything is ok!!! There is nothing wrong with showing affection. There is nothing wrong with loving one another. This guy means everything to me, I love him to death. And (this is going to absolutely SHOCK you) it’s not because I’m a fan of Harry Potter!!!! (*GASP*) It’s NOT because of what I see on TV, or read in books, or hear on the radio. These are my FEELINGS for him, his FEELINGS for me. It’s a NATURAL impulse to love people, to feel affection for them. It’s the greatest thing in the world to care about someone so deeply, and no book or movie needs to dramatize that for it to happen. Even if there was no Hollywood, no writers, no journalists, no art, no media WHATSOEVER, teenagers would still fall in love, still hug one another, kiss one another, have sex. It’s a beautiful thing. Neither you nor your religion can stop it and prevent it from happening. People will fall in love.

And by the way, have you REALLY read your Bible Dan? And I mean REALLY looked at it?
Good!!! Then you, too, will know that there are EIGHT TYPES OF MARRIAGE represented in the bible. Shall we list them, and some examples?
1. Standard one-man-one-woman. (Genesis 2:24) (may I point out that this is the type of marriage mentioned the LEAST in the Bible?)
2. Man marries as many wives as he financially can. (Genesis 4:19, among MANY others — Esau had three wives, Jacob had two, Ashur had two, Gideon had many, Elkanah had two, David had many, Solomon had around 700, Rehaboam had three, Abijah had 14, and in addition, Jehoram, Joash, Ahab, Jeholachin, Belshazzar, and Herod all had multiple wives.)
3. Levirate marriage (woman widowed without a son is forced to marry her brother-in-law). (Genesis 38:6-10 — in fact, in this passage, because Onan wouldn’t have SEX with his BROTHER’S WIFE, he was killed). This later includes the brother-in-law marrying the widow to whom he was the closest living relative (Ruth 4).
4. A female slave. The man owns the woman and her property, which includes her slaves (Genesis 16). Just ask Hagar!
5. A man, one or more wives, and concubines. (Genesis 21:10) (Abraham had two concubines, Gideon had at least 1, Nahor had one, Jacob had one, Eliphaz had one, Gideon had one, Caleb had two, Manassah had one, Saul had one, David had at LEAST ten, Rehoboam had around sixty, Solomon had over 300, Belshazzar had more than one, among many other instances concerning less important characters.)
6. Male soldier and female POW. (Numbers 31: 1-18) (ahh, don’t you love this passage Dan? All of the Midianite males (soldiers, workers, children) killed, and only 32,000 lives spared – all female virgins. And guess what! It doesn’t end there! Deuteronomy 21:11-14 describes how they were taken by the soldiers and forced to become their property! Doesn’t it just bring a smile to your heart?)
7. Male rapist and his victim. A female virgin who is not engaged must marry the man who rapes her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29).
8. A male and female slave. Slave owners get to force their slaves to marry, often against the female’s will. (Exodus 21:4) (ahh, what a wonderful game of Matchmaker, don’t you think Dan?)
Well, Dan, we’ve now pointed out all eight types of marriage in the Bible (isn’t it such a WONDERFUL book! Rape, murder, death, incest… doesn’t get much more delicious than that!). Eight types in one book!
Now, to be fair, we have to look at all seven Harry Potter books… We’ll list the types of marriage present in each individual book. I’m sure you won’t mind. Let’s see what we can reveal to your readers, because you and I already know this!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s Stone:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
1. Standard One-man-one-woman.
Hmm… Seven books and the only form of marriage represented in any of them is today’s morally accepted one-man-one-woman! How interesting. And no slaves, or concubines, or multiple wives… How much more heathen can it possibly be, Dan?! HOW???

If children are doing blood sacrifices and dark rituals with the friends next door then I believe the bigger problem is not Harry Potter, but the parents lack of instilling good things and knowledge of the truth and right from wrong in their children. Where were these so called parents when this was happening? My heart goes out to the children left unattended and lied to by dear old mommy an daddy. Do you understand as a parent we breed lies and deciet in our children from the day they are born? You shouldn’t tell your children a fictional charactr snt going to come to give them a gift if in fact they are not good when you know it is a lie. Yet we allow our children to watch television shows and movies we think are good. Based on what? You see my dear the fault is actually that of the parents if parents were more open with their children, took more time to spend with them and talked with them about the difference between good and evil, then maybe just maybe that parent you spoke of would know their teenage daughter was having sex, lying and doing drugs or their teenage son was having sex and performing pagan rituals… I sincerely believe that truth is important and communication on a daily basis necessary

It’s guys like you that make christians look crazy and like we are prejudiced, hateful people. It makes me really mad because it’s supposed to be nothing like that. We’re supposed to be loving towards everyone, and we have no room to judge when we ourselves are not perfect. You Dan, need to get your facts straight. There is sexual innuendo in EVERY child’s movie now days, you should watch Ice Age 3 and write an articel about all the sexual innuendo in that movie…you’d have a field day! Unfortunately, kids now days are exposed to more sexual innuendo’s now days than they were back in the day…but that’s the thing, times are different. My favorite part of your article is:
“Every parent out there should be on full alert, as the latest movie in the series is entitled Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and is the equivalent of letting your child snort cocaine and then go to a pornographic version of a Ozzy Osborne concert.” I’m sorry, but I would rather have my child watch harry potter, than let them snort cocaine and send them to an ozzy osborne concert…That’s a little extreme. And let me say that no one is born with pure, clean thoughts. NO ONE has clean thoughts…we were all born into sin…not into a perfect, sinless world. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, MAN!

Your testimony is an encouragement to my heart.
Even perhaps without realizing it, you are being obedient to the will of your parents. They brought you up correctly and forbade you to see Harry Potter.
Now at 19, as a young lady, you still refuse to watch these sinful movies, just like the Bible prophesied anyone raised correctly would do. Glory!
Also, thank you for the warning about Ice Age 3. I will look into that.
Please also see my comment for our friend Jess up above. It never fails that there seems to be much confusion about the birthing process and such these days among youths, and I know the atheist abortion, teen pregnancy agenda being pushed and taught in public schools has much to do with it.

and yet, I’ve seen many movies where people have sex and do drugs and all that. My mind is not corrupt, and I do not believe I would be corrupting it by seeing harry potter. I just dont feel like seeing harry potter. I haven’t seen any of the other ones, it would be pointless to go see the newest one. I’ve seen many movies with magic and wizards and I really dont see anything wrong with them. Look at Lord of the Rings…there are wizards, dark lords, witches, and I LOVE those movies…I even read all of the books. Look at Disney…Disney revolves around magic and fairytales, yet we let kids see those movies. Yes, my parents DID have an influence to what I was allowed to see and what I was not allowed to see, but I wouldnt say they raised me correctly just because they wouldn’t let me see harry potter. They let me see a bunch of other movies that you probably wouldn’t like, and I came out just fine.

Getting worked up over things that are make-believe and fiction is what these people seem to do. The Bible is merely a mythos. It never really happend. Not every word is literally true. Jesus was a rabbi and so used rabbinic teaching styles which consisted of telling fictional fables that told about moral truths. Many of these are purposefully left open ended and what you imagine happening at the end is supposed to teach you about your own spiritual position. Jesus would be appalled to see this kind of thing done in his name. And if they truly believe, they will get what is coming to them.

“Burn this devil movie down! Parents forbid your children from seeing this brand filfth!” To forbid someone even a child from doing something is taking away their free will. To pressure another person or parent to make a decision based on fiction is incorrect and things like judgemental attitudes and threats against someones work are unjustified and malicious.
“You may think it’s cute to have your daughter dressed up like witches and soothsayer but mark my words it won’t be so funny to see your precious girl dead from drug needles tainted with AIDS.” – I believe you must have ahd this happen to you. If that is true then I am so sorry you had to go through this. However I dont believe in any of the books or movies anyone ever said hey lets go use some dirty needles and get high. In fact they never said anything about drug use. yes they used some potions but again as I have said before this is where the parents come in. We must speak with our children on a daily basis know them and their friends. Know where they hang out and check on them occassionally. Drop in to make sure they are being honest and giving them the opportunity to tell us whn something is wrong. once met a mother who said “I never knew my daughter was even having sex until it was too late.” Her daughter died by strangulation from a new fetish of decreasing blood flow to the brain by “slight strangulation” during intercourse. While I sympathized with her plight my response was “How could you not know your daughter was having sex?” She said “She never told me. I asked but she would say no” Asking your children if their having sex, doing drugs or performing pagan rituals will always get the same answer “NO”. We should not ask but take the time weekly to talk with our children about these topics. What they are what doing them means and leave the lines of communication open. That means saying you can always at anytime you have a question or problem come to me.
“This Harry Potter is already caused drug use in teens and fornication and that is all the playground of Satan. Make God proud and helped forbid this sin marinated peep show.”- Unfortuately you like the author of this article needs to be reminded that we must base our knowledge on facts not fiction and while your statements are interesting there is no factual basis for them at all. God loves all His children. Not just one of us and not just while we are being obediant to His ways.. Again I must say “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Plus i really dont see very much sexual reference in this movie i literally watched it yesterday and it did not lead me to sex any more than brushing my teeth does. It really is annoying how all of you so called christians on this website go around preaching and telling us what is evil. It gives those with real passion for

I have a few things to say about this article. First off this is one of the worse cases of so called journalism I have ever read. The facts of the article ar mostly fiction and you did not even take the time to ascertain whether or not J.K. Rowlings was male of female. Second as a christian woman who has a very strong founded belief in the Bible I will say this. Judge not lest ye be judged… Hmm wonder where that quote came from. The bile you are spewing is niether productive nor helpful in convincing anyone that they should not allow their children or themselves for that matter to see this new movie. Hollywood has and will always be full of lies and dark things. However I sincerely believe that if we place a good strong foundation under our children then it will be as any movie is to them. A MOVIE. My 10 year old is reading the Harry Potter series as I myself did. Through the series he asks me questions and we have had a very wonderful learning experience together. I have taken sme of his question to the Bible with him for the answers he seeks. Such as is witchcraft real? Of course it is. Howevr I explained to him what the Bible says about it. A question to the author and the readers. Do you have children? Do the believe in santa clause, the toothfairy, or the easter bunny? If so do you realize you are lying to your children. These things are not real. Why wuld that be okay and not this. I beliebe honesty is always the best policy and hiding things from our children especially the bad things of the world will only serve t make them want it more. I dont hide things from my children. I never have. they both know about sex, drugs, magic, ghosts, rape, murder and such. I do not censor my children from the real world. Yet they both know and realize right from wrong. At 8 and 10 they have a very remarkable way of discerning teh truth when some one lies to them and they know right from wrong. I am not saying they always choose it but they know the difference. Personally I think this article is nothng more tahn hate mail and should in fact be veiwed as such. Not all christians are horrible people and some of us even follow the Bible and let what we know guide us. Truth and accepting that truth are what we teach and follow. All people are God’s children and whether they choose right from wrong we were told to love them before ourselves. I suggest Mr.Nordgren you look into reading the word of God and encourage your readers not damn them.

It has taken me quite a while to digest all of this business.
I am a morally upright person. I can make decisions for myself, and I was raised by two believers who support me in my endeavors of faith. At this point in time I am agnostic, though reading this thread makes me question how Christianity as you are portraying it is any different than extremist branches of any other religion, and especially makes me wonder why I would want to be a part of it.
I am an avid reader. I have probably read things that would make your toes curl. I am not ashamed of that; anyone who is ashamed of education or blames books for the “sins” and “corruption” of humanity is ignorant. (Read: Harry Potter is not to blame for the state of the nation’s youth.) I am well educated, and I am attending one of the top 5 liberal arts colleges in the nation. I’ve been exposed to drugs, sex, and alcohol, which does not explicitly imply that I partake in any of them. Exposure only makes a person realize what something is. It’s one thing to wonder about sex, it’s another to get involved in some way and decide it’s not the path you want to walk down.
To be quite frank, I am not a virgin. Pray for my soul all you want, but sex is a healthy activity for healthy consenting adults. I lost my virginity when I was 15, to a man whom I know nothing about. It was not an occurrence to which I gave consent, and that is probably, in your eyes, my fault because I must have done something to provoke him. I was probably wearing something that showed off my toes and I might have had my hair up. Is it my fault that at the age of 7 I was sexually assaulted by my next door neighbor’s grandson? This has happened more times than I care to think about; I spent a decade of my life being a vessel of sexual gratification to men. Was it my fault? No. Is that how I wanted my growing years to be? No. Are my parents to blame for it? Absolutely not. But the “sins” of my childhood are probably the reason why I have sex with my boyfriend now, am I right? I was “corrupted” at an early age, which lead to my “moral decline” now. If you agreed with that, you are a pathetic individual. We practice safe sex. We are two healthy adults. Sex happens. It’s okay! In fact, he’s lying in bed next to me right now. (Dear Father, please forgive us for the sins that we are about to commit. Amen.)
‘Hogwarts’ isn’t a den of drunken debauchery. It’s an accurate description of real-life teenage lust. Kissing–that’s it, just kissing–cannot cause pregnancy. Kissing can lead to other things, like sex, that *can* cause pregnancy, but the act of touching lips itself cannot. On that note, please check your facts and statistics before naming ‘Harry Potter’ as the reason for the abortion rate to rise or more teen pregnancies. Your teenage daughter will not wind up dead in an alley of AIDS because she watched a movie about fictional characters and fictional magic. This movie does not inspire people to go do drugs or have sex. It would take a moron to perceive it as such. And who cares about Emma Watson’s leg/”pantiedrawers”? She has nice legs. Damn her for it. It’s not like she is solely responsible for the lust of my generation. I would blame *your* generation for that. Also, “pantiedrawers” isn’t a word, and your grammar and punctuation are atrocious.
If you were any sort of decent parent, while we’re bickering about that too, you would have told your child that magic is fictional. It doesn’t exist. What doesn’t exist cannot hurt people. People will do that they wish regardless of a movie, and a PG (or R as you’d like it to be) rated FICTION movie that is aimed at children would not have passed the movie censorship board.
Along the lines of being a good parent: how can you expect your child to grow up as a good an moral person if you cannot be frank about issues? When you have “the birds and the bees” talk, are you going to say “Well, son, when your secret place becomes filled with sin and evil thoughts…”? No. You’ll have to use the proper terms for anatomy. If God created man in his image, why then are you ashamed to use their proper names?
Please consider that there are other reasons for a decline in morality than Harry Potter. Your ignorance smacks of the brainwashed cultist crap that is organized religion these days.

Your antigay agenda goes completely counter to this idea of tolerence. Also, having recently been a teenage boy, nothing about a teenage boy’s mind is “pure” nor is it “sinful” to desire people of the other gender. It is a natural urge and a natural process without which the continution of humanity would not be possible. Sexual gratification is a gift and there is nothing wrong with it. It makes people WANT to continue creating more humans.
Harry Potter is FICTION just like the Bible and the myth of Hercules. The magic shown in Harry Potter does not function nor does it bear any resemblence to so called “real” magical systems. Magic is a form of meditation where one attempts to use his human will (which you would call his soul and a gift from God) to manifest a change in the world around him. This is no different from praying. The difference is that when you pray you want some imaginary being to intercede on your behalf to manifest your desired change. The effects of magic and prayer are psychosomatic; they only happen if you believe that they will.
There is nothing wrong with make-believing you are a powerful wizard because it is all pretend and imagination such as that is required for natural development in children. Your attempt to extinguish the imagination and free thought of an entire generation of children is repulsive and you should be ashamed of yourselves. It is people like you who made me turn away from Christianty and become a Unitarian Universalist.

Yes he did. The so-called golden rule. “Do unto other that which you would have them do unto you.” No ifs ands or buts. This is a cornerstone in every major religious tradition from the most aboriginal and pagan experiences through to more recent religious movements like Islam. It is the religious leaders who have taken over the Christian tradition that have removed themselves from this teaching. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
You see Jesus was a rabbi. Christianity was a sect of Judaism for the longest time. What happened after Jesus died was as follows: he became diefied and was then worshipped as the Son of God. People then committed horrible atrocities in his name and wiped out all competing Christian view points like the Gnostics. The Orthodox Christian Church (now called Greek or Eastern Orthodox) used a “might makes right” mentality which eschewed the teachings of Jesus to take over the Christian community. Thus any Christian tradition descended from this is a perversion of the original teaching.

Loving your neighbor is not the same as tolerating.
Loving in that sense is choosing the highest good for the person, not accepting whatever they practice. Tolerance cannot be at the core of a statement like “I am the way, the truth and the life.” No one way, THE way

While you do have a valid point you have tried to invalidate other views. This is also contrary since, as I pointed out, all modern versions of Christianity today are perversions of the original teachings of Jesus (who may or may not have existed at all) and so your way is not “the way” any moreso than my way.
That quote you bring up was made in John 14:6. The gospel of John was written after the events that are supposed to be described, possibly more than 100 years after. There is no way that John witnessed these things as they took place more than 100 years before he was born. So there is no way of knowing that Jesus ever said those words. I would like to point out these pages:
The Case Against the Historical Christ (http://rationalrevolution.net/articles/jesus_myth_history.htm)
and the Wikipedia article about the Gospel of John. Make note of footnote reference number 15. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_John#Authorship_and_date)
Tolerance may not have been a direct teaching but it is implied by the teachings of peace and brother hood. If you are truly Christian, you believe we are all children of God. If you are truly Christian, you believe that those who do not follow will answer to God. However, if God is as loving and forgiving as he is said to be, would he not forgive those who live a life of dignity and worth and respect for fellow beings?
The monotheistic religions are harmful to humanity in their modern forms. They originated as peaceful religions that taught brotherhood and peace. They did not kill for different beliefs nor did they condemn. They simply did not aknowledge. No human or groups of humans, includeing Jesus and the Christians, has a monopoly on wisdom. If they did, there would be no others disputing that claim since it would be easily proven.

It won’t let me respond to your previous post, So I will respond here in hopes that you will read this. First of all, you do make very good points. I must say, you are the most articulate, and well informed person I have managed to have such a conversation with. The Gospel of John, is identified as a gospel written by John himself. The author is identified internally, as John the son of Zebedee, who is one of the twelve disciples and an eyewitness to Jesus’ ministry. External evidence from Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3.1.2 confirms this. As for the time frame of John it was written between A.D. 70 and 100. Those are time frames within his life that he too authored 1 – 3 John, and Revelations. It was not out of his lifetime to write considering it was a 40-70 year span. Seeing as he was an eyewitness his testimony in The Gospel of John is accurate.
I agree with what you said about being Christian and believing God is forgiving. However, God’s identity reveals he is perfect and good in nature. Christianity as well as Judaism is based on the fall of man, you calling and person’s life is good or dignified apart from the universal good is contradictory. We cannot be apart from good and still be good. God has clearly chosen to reveal himself, and he does forgive, but only through Christ Jesus can one attain such forgiveness. At least that is the core of my belief.
I don’t believe monotheistic religion is harmful to todays society, when that religion is taken entirely serious. You can make claims about hypocrisy and such but those people aren’t really aspiring to emulate Jesus. Articles like this further illustrate, what you would call harmful. I completely agree, its people like Dan who harm the name of Jesus and all of his followers.
I don’t think Christianity has a monopoly on wisdom at all. Some of my most intelligent friends are not Christians, I think knowledge can be attained apart from God, but I also think one can glorify God with his knowledge. You are stereotyping the core of mainstream falsified Christians.

The Harry Potter books support friendship and working together – it is a story about overcoming the temptations of evil (isn’t that what you are all about?) – and it helps children believe the possibilities of dreams. If you think Harry Potter and magic are satanic, then stop telling your children about santa claus, the tooth fairy, or pots of gold at the end of a rainbow because if you continue then you’re GOING TO HELL! scarey, right? lol – suck it up and get over yourself.

You honestly think that Dumbledore’s homosexuality is going to inspire children around the globe to be gay? Dumbledore may be the “wise headmaster of Hogwarts” but trust me, the children who read Harry Potter don’t give a dying moose’s last shit about Dumbledore or any of the Hogwarts faculty. As far as kids are concerned, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagal, Hagrid, etc are just old farts who roam about the castle. You should be more concerned about the thousands of teenage girls who are practically ready to embrace the dark arts because they think that Alan Rickman, the 50-something actor who plays the evil Professor Snape, is hot.
I’d guess that a good 70% of Harry Potter fans read the books and watch the movies solely because they are interested in the relationships (Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Hermione, etc), 15% are fans because they are genuinely interested in the plotlines and magic, and the other 15% are hormonal teenage girls who are in love with Snape.
My point: Harry Potter fans pay no attention to Dumbledore; they’re too caught up in writing fanfiction stories about Ron and Hermione. The fact that Dumbledore just happens to be gay (which, I might add, J.K. Rowling simply mentioned in an interview after the release of the final book and was NOT incorporated at all into, or even hinted at in, the stories) will have no affect whatsoever on kids.

Hey you 2 stupid fucks, if you think that this shit if completely wrong, think again and reread your fucking bible. it has sex and violence it in. besides the Christianity is only 2009 years old. Wiccan has been around way before any other religion. It is an ancient religion to be practice. Besides the bible was only made in one king’s image and how he wanted the people to see. Yes I’m saying that the Christianity is corrupting the human mind. and if you can get a hold of each on the books that are in the bible, they will be completely different then what the bible says. the bible is just a stupid book like the rest of them. *tears a page out of the bible and rolls a big phat joint, Then lights it up and smokes it*
Fuck you all that believes what this fucking shit says. Fuck god and the rest of his imaginary friends.
Long live the wiccan ways. And treat the women with the same respect as if shes a man. all of us are equal. so fuck you adam and dan won’t you too go hook up and suck each others dicks.
Oh FYI if Christianity is so good why do the priest and pastors fucks little boys hmmmmm. ooooooo didn’t think that did you you fucking chi-mos.

Adam and Eve were ordained by God, he specifically created Eve as Adam’s helpmeet, his wife.
Also, it does matter who you marry. Man cannot love man, and woman cannot love woman. That is not God’s design and it is an abomination unto him. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to invalidate the authority of the Holy Bible.
Our bodies are temples into the Lord. In the New Testament, we’re specifically warned about the tongue: we are supposed to keep it in check, for it is the entrance to our bodies and can sow great destruction when we fail to use words of respect, decency and Christ’s example. Cussing is definitely a impure pathogen within or bodies, our fearfully and wonderfully temples from God.

Alright, I am not advocating homosexuality. To me, its a nonissue. It is not my duty to tell them what to do. But it isnt me. I like women. I like women ALOT. Women appeal much more to me sexually than any man could.
When I mean marriage, i refer to the union of a man and a woman. That is how it is defined conventionally anyway.
God gave you a mind. Use it. Be critical of evils in the world. God did not forbid words to be spoken. Jesus spoke harshly to the chief priests and teachers of the law. And We were made unto the image of God. And Jesus was a man, he was a son of God, just as we are Sons and Daughters. That is something quoted from the bible, as someone has stated here.

You are assuming of course that The Bible contains God’s message in its entirety. The bible remember is written by men and has all of its bias of mankind. It is a imperfect, unclear message to start with. We dont even possess the original books of the bible, nor can we accurately translate it since it has been rewritten over the centuries. But I will argue this for you. Jesus, once again, spoke in righteous anger. He had no respect for hypocrites. And if the bible is condemning anger, then it is a hypocrite. I just figure it easier to believe the message is distorted by man’s biases, since we are imperfect beings. Otherwise, how can the Bible be an accurate source of God’s real message? God has used wrath and anger to punish the wicked. We can condemn and be angry at injustices and wrongdoings.
To me, God is a Father, who is forgiving even if his sons and daughters have a difference of opinion. After all, we are the likeness of God. God gave you free will, a mind to use. He wants YOU to reason the gaps in His message, not take it word for word. A blind man will not see, but a man who listens and uses his eyes and mind will succeed where the blind and deaf do not. Otherwise, what use is your mind?

Knowledge is to be used for the edification of mankind and unto the glory of God. Using our knowledge of communication, to cuss, is not a good use of the tongue. It is against God and defiles our holy temple. The scripture makes that point clear, time and time again.
If you have an example of Christ explicitly cussing in the Bible, and saying to do such, please do list it.
Christ had every right to smite those who did not agree with the Holy Word, but that was not his mission or God’s plan for mankind. Our path is salvation through Christ.
The Bible explicitly states the edicts of Christ and tells us to follow in his ways. How is cussing a testament unto our heavenly father? How is using language, which our knowledge dictates is quite foul, a testament to Christian morality?

Christ did not cuss in the bible, that much is true. However, how much of his life is truly documented? We are nowhere near perfect. We make mistakes. However, I have said God did not explicitly condemn cursing. He condemned wrath and anger in your quote, not cursing. Perhaps you should consider a course in reading your own quote? And Jesus and God has done those things as well as his followers. To say otherwise is dumb. And like I said, it is my belief that much of the bible is biased by man, and the true intent and message of God is garbled. Man is so limited when it comes to God. It comes down to beliefs.

Christ is without sin or flaw, and to state otherwise is sheer sacrilege, blasphemy and invalidates the entire divinity of Christ. Even when Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, and Satan cam to him and tried to lead him into temptation, Christ rejected the enemy and continued on his path of righteousness for our salvation.

To Colonel Foley:
In the source article, I found the Pope lamented it was many things that caused God to punish him: let’s just think about what he’s done in the past several months that were not moral or right.
1. Not strongly denounce secular evolution. Check.
2. Not condemn gay agenda hard enough.
3. Not forbid Catholics to vote for Obama, a man who supports abortion and aiding the Palestinian terrorists.
4. Not forbid Harry Potter or encouraging a good man like Mel Gibson or Kirk Cameron to produce a real Christian alternative to the movie.
5. Not lobby for the next pope to be an American.

This country was founded on the right to religious beliefs. Everyone has a right to believe as they will. I think that you have way too much time on your hands when it comes to articles like these. This movie is fiction, and there is nothing in there about sexuality, homosexuality, it does not give explict instructions on how to perform spells, and what the actors do outside of the movie is their own business. While I may not believe that all people are born into sin, I do believe that teenage boys think about little else BUT the opposite sex. That is because of chemicals that make hormones that encourage them to go and find a wife and procreate. If you want to post an article on a move, how about movies like DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons? Those specifically deal with religion. Leave fiction alone, and quit disrespecting other religions just because you think your is the best. Others feel the same way about their religion. This is a waste of your time, and makes you look like an unintelligent, close-minded human being.
