So by changing the words in my posts, what I'm hearing you say is "I cannot think of a sufficient, logical argument against these posts, so I am going to edit said posts to make the author sound ignorant."

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

You want to stop spaming the thread friend and just make you point already?

I understand that you believe I am spamming the thread, but as a book lover, including Harry Potter, I do not believe that any book should be banned or burned. I simply posted on this forum to learn why the series is so hated, but no one can give me a solid, logical reason.

Excuse me, mister. Did I not just answer your question? Allow me to repeat myself.

The Bible is strongly against witchcraft.

The Bible is also strongly in favor of book burning particularly books about witchcraft and idolatry.

Acts 19:19-20 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

So what I'm hearing you say is that because I lack "christian" discernment, I cannot discern between what is right and wrong. However, I can assure you I am fully capable of determining the difference between what is right and wrong

The Bible disagrees with you. Only those who are Saved can make proper judgment. So yes, Pastor Ezekiel is right since you lack Christian discernment, you cannot tell what is right or wrong.

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Which makes sense, if you think about it, since morality is defined by God, and only those who walk in God's path (like us) can truly determine whether something is right or wrong.

It is clear that you are passionately concerned about witchcraft, but again...witchcraft and magic are not real. How can you be against something that is not real? That is like being against unicorns; they are not real so they cause no harm. I understand that you say the bible is against witchcraft, but that is probably because people used to think witchcraft was real.
And yes, that reason is constantly reiterated, but I hardly think one reason is enough to destroy a book.

Hey, punk! Don't try and tell me that witches aren't real! I've just recently chased a gaggle of them off my estate! Take a look at THIS!

It sounds as though you are trying to communicate how difficult you find it to believe that I have morals, while I assure you I do, that is not really the topic of this thread. I cannot help but notice how often the subject is changed from the the topic of Harry Potter. Why is that?

I understand your concern about witches, but just because someone believes they are a witch does not make them one, they can pretend all they like.

And just because you want to fall for satan's lies, it doesn't mean you're right. Hell is chock full of surprised atheists like you, pal.

Enjoy hell. I know that Jesus and I can't wait to watch you burn in hell for all eternity. Oh, how we'll laugh at you as you scream in agony! Shout Glory!!

You are obviously trying to console your own guilty conscience. How many children have you sacrificed in the name of witchcraft only to tell yourself afterwards: "it isn't real; it's witchcraft"?

When you conjure up wickedness while having anal sex on a pentagram, and cast that wickedness into the subconscious of a sleeping victim, in order to cause them to do drugs and support Obama, it is real, and so will be the flames of Hell that char your rectum after Satan turns it inside out with the barbs on his tallywacker.

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

First of all, it must be very difficult to carry around all that anger and hatred, I feel very sorry for you. Second, I wasn't here to debate; I wanted to have a civil conversation about Harry Potter. But since few people here can remain civil and actually stay on the topic of conversation without attacking me, I will not post here anymore. That's probably exactly what you want, but while you may feel comfortable saying these things about someone you do not even know, I am not comfortable reading them so I am choosing to leave. If I were as crude and offensive as you, I would stay and fire right back at you, but I have a sense of decency.

Yet another life goal you miserably failed at.

Stop promoting anal rape of innocent little children and start following the Holy Bible friend! Jesus died for those who believe in Him. You could also be one of those few lucky people for which Jesus died!

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

I have a sense of decency.

If you had any sense of decency boy, you'd accept Christ as your personal Savior(r)!

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

Too bad in "god's favorite country" free speech is a valuable concept.
Therefore you can't ban a book.
No matter how much you don't like it, it's still going to be there.

Good point
