A friend of mine sent me this... Both sad and kind of funny. It's from an online Baptist church. http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news1199/potter.html
This memo is being sent to all church members and concerned Christians to inform them of a disease that has infected our Nation. Parents of children need to be aware of a particularly dangerous series of books that have somehow slipped by unnoticed. Lately, teachers at Landover Baptist Elementary school have been complaining that youngsters have been behaving in an 'odd and peculiar manner'. They have been stealing yellow crayons and painting lightning bolts on their foreheads. Many of them have been hiding in boxes and refuse to come out unless cookies and milk are delivered on a silver plate. We believe this behavior to be far from innocent. It is absolutely demonic in origin.
We have traced the source of these problems to a series of best selling books in the Satanic world. The Harry Potter book series is filled with fantastic images of hell and liberalism.� The entire premise of each book rests in the anti-Christian notion that the sissified lifestyle is to be glorified and accepted by all. They make sissies out to be heroes, and encourage children to escape into their own private make-believe worlds.� They encourage youngsters to run away from their problems and escape the world by creating destructive and dangerous fantasies.
We believe that these books challenge children to create demonically inspired worlds in their innocent little heads. We believe that the books make youngsters run off and hide.� Many parents tell us that their children refuse to sit at the family table for dinner, instead they eat their dinner behind a locked closet door or under their beds.� We are asking all members at this time to search every room in your Christian home for any sign of these Harry Potter books. If you find them, keep them out of the child's reach. Put them on a high shelf until next Saturday when we as a church body will join together in unison for an impromptu book burning on the lawn.� After the burning, if any of these 'so-called' children's books are found anywhere on church grounds or in the home of any church member, proper steps will be taken to ensure your child is fully deprogrammed from the illicit material (which may or may not include a trip to a Russian orphanage at your expense) and you will be fined $250.00 per book.� The fines are effective after the book burning. Mandatory attendance is required as you help us fight Satan in his attempt to strike at the future of Christian America by worming his way into the hearts and minds of our precious and innocent children!
And Theyre Not Even Kidding
