Reasons to Keep Your Kids OUT of Secular College!

I offer as the first exhibit in what will undoubtedly become an enormously long list, THIS secular news story, proving once and for all that WITCH CRAFT IS OPENLY TAUGHT in secular so-called "universities" all across America.

U.S. college students seek the magic of Quidditch

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Stephen Dewey knows he lacks the magic to play Quidditch quite like they do in the Harry Potter novels but he does all he can to create an authentic experience for fans of the teenage wizard.

Dewey, a student at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, organizes the campus Quidditch club of about 40 Potter devotees imitating the aerial game of the book series.

Although Bucknell has not played its first official game -- that is expected in September -- Dewey's club has received $150 from the college to buy supplies, including hula hoops and a volleyball that stands in for the fictional "quaffle."

Also on the equipment list are the brooms on which J.K. Rowling's Quidditch players fly around during games and which Bucknell players are required to hold between their legs.

Bucknell's Quidditch players follow the rules, adopted by some 10 other U.S. Quidditch-playing colleges, which come from the Potter books.

There is also a "seeker" who chases the elusive "golden "snitch" around campus during the game. The capture of the snitch, usually after about 15 minutes, signals the end of the game.

Dewey described the sport as "mildly full-contact" and said it requires some athletic ability, particularly for seekers, who are typically cross-country runners. It appeals equally to men and women, he said.

Players have worn outlandish garb including swimming goggles and capes made out of shower curtains and bed sheets.

Dewey said he's received "some puzzled looks" when recruiting but that even the skeptics want to know more. He suspects they are secretly Harry Potter fans.

"They are usually curious to know how I could make this into a playing game," he said. "Running around on brooms does appeal to a surprising number of college students."

Now I know that the idea of a group of young adults running around a campus green with brooms between their legs and shower curtains flapping in the wind behind them might seem hilariously funny, but I assure you that the practice of magic is no laughing matter. God condemns it outright, and if we lived in a land guided exclusively by the laws of God, you and I would be picking these kids off with a rifle and scope for sport. Praise Jesus I live for that day!

I didn't know you liked rifles Pastor. Are you a hunter?

Well, they're apparently hellbound sinners anyways. Why not at least poke some fun at them before they're sent to the fires of Hell? Sniping them just seems so... unsportsmanlike and impersonal.

Which part of the Bible says, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, unless giving the witches their just desserts would be unsportsmanlike and impersonal, in which case thou shoudst just poke some fun at them"? Witches have chosen eternal damnation, so if our legal system followed Scripture instead of the whims of the dzhoos on K Street, we could give them what they want right away.

You know, for an America-worshipper like you, I'd think you would know our law keeps the Fifth Commandment, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" in mind.

And BTW, I'd recommend sending your students to Holy Cross, Sacred Heart, Fordham, Georgetown, or Villanova before sending them to Bucknell!

I keep telling you - "thou shalt not kill" is the 6th commandment.

You call yourself "Father" and you don't even know the Ten Commandments.

V. Thou shalt not kill.
VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
VII. Thou shalt not steal.
VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
IX. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

One of the first things I learned when I left the papist cult was the true Ten Commandments where graven images are forbidden. When I thought of how many years I spent angering God by praying to statues of Mary and various saints, I collapsed in a horrified faint.
Fortunately, I managed to get saved and find Jesus for real. I pray the same happens to you before it's too late, idolator.

So you people just delete the second commandment altogether, then split the last one to get the number back up to ten. Of course the Catholic church would delete that verse, because they make a whole lot of money selling their graven images.

Do you want to remind yourself what Revelations 22:19 says?

No.

We use the Deuteronomy 5:6-21 account as our Ten Commandments, while you use the traditional Exodus version (And we consider your Second Commandment to be part of the First).

We don't worship statues. Check out what the Council of Trent had to say:

The images of Christ and of the Virgin Mother of God, and of the saints are to be had and retained particularly in churches, and due honor and veneration are to be given them; not that any divinity or virtue is believed to be in them on account of which they are to be worshipped, or that anything is to be asked of them, or that trust is to be reposed in images, as was of old by the Gentiles, who placed their hopes in idols; but because the honor which is shown them is referred to the prototypes which these images represent; so that we through the images which we kiss...or bend the knee, adore Christ and venerate the saints, whom they represent. [The Canons & Decrees of the Council of Trent (TAN Books, 1978) p. 215-6]

The Catholic Church has not altered the Ten Commandments of God. The Church has not dropped the "Second Commandment" as the booklet alleges. The Catholic numbering scheme may differ with the Protestant numbering scheme, but this is due to a difference in tradition and not an alteration of God's Commandments. Unfortunately the Bible is not clear on how to divide or number the Ten Commandments. If this difference is scandalous, it would be interesting to know what the author of the booklet thought of Jesus Christ when He reduced God's Commandments to the Two Great Commandments in Matt. 22:36-40. Finally the Church strictly condemns the adoration (divine worship) of statues, images or even the saints, since this is idolatry and in direct violation of the First Commandment. For Christians a crucifix should not be considered merely as a statue of Jesus hanging on a cross, but as a reminder of the high cost of our salvation as well as His words to us:

"If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." [Mark 8:34]

Check out God commanding Moses to make a "graven image"

And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live." So Moses made a bronze serpent...
Numbers 21:8-9

The Ten Commandments I remember are:

I. I am the LORD thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me, except Mary and Joseph and about 1 bazillion Saints, most of whom were John-Paul II's drinking buddies.
II. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain. In fact, don't use the name of the LORD at all. Pray to Mary instead.
III. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day, the Lord doesn't like it when the Sunday afternoon Bingo games start late.
IV. Honor a guy you call Father and Jesus's mother instead of Jesus.
V. Thou shalt not kill without buying an indulgence from the Pope first.
VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery, unless you are an altarboy and the Priest calls you to "serve him."
VII. Thou shalt not steal, but it's OK to extort money from the poor by denying them Communion if they don't pay up.
VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, except as necessary to prevent lawsuits by boys who were raped by priests.
IX. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, because the one straight Priest in the Diocese has dibs.
X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods, except when the time comes to pass the collection plate, then it's open season--and be sure they write their names on the envelopes.

"Father" Martin is right, this is the Catholic version of the 10 Commandments.

Yes. We come from a Christian tradition, you come from a pagan one. That's a pretty big difference alright.

In fact it is humorous. You guys all do realize that only the nerdiest of the nerds would play this game. Not to label harshly, but it's true and funny.

I graduated from CALS with a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences.(http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/pro...fm#agriculture

Where could I have gotten an education like this? The only non-secular institution offering a similar program is BYU.

You have got to be kidding me. It's just for fun, and I find your idea that God's law would allow you, nay, encourage you to kill these people disgusting and twisted. You are a sick, sick false prophet.
