I confess to not having read a Harry Potter book...Had to sit through one of the movies though.

Never read one, but seen the 1st 2 movies..

In those 2 movies there was more Christian than wiccan, in that there was zero wiccan content, but one of Harry's family was wearing a crucifix i think ;)

I think they should go back to burning witches.:ph34r: It would never happen because the Newcastle 'Broon' Brewery have a large say in politics.:rolleyes:

Even if it is in shambles it has shit to do with this thread, troller. :huh:

Read the context i first put it in.

With so much violence, sex, drugs and George Bush (read bad idiotic politics) on TV why are people worried about a book like Harry Potter.

as long as they ban all other religious books too :01:

There are some areas where they can't teach evolution unless creationism is taught. That's put's the Bible in state schools. :(

bonkers!!! :blink:

It amazes and amuses me to think that they oblige educationists to teach science and fantasy in the same context!

In the case above, i think its only fair that wiccans etc also have a fair crack of the whip.

Maybe we should use the same methods in the same states to teach witchcraft :shifty:

Of course there will be a challenge in the supreme court that should stop the practice if it is occurring.

Edit: unless i missed it and it got through :unsure:

Give it 2 more resignations on the court and it will :dry:

I prefer my idea.

I'm sure they'd withdraw the demand of its being taught at all, if all religions were given the same status. :ph34r:

Actually I think they would fight against it. The question was asked if the ten commandments were allowed to be displayed in courts would they also allow a Buddha...they said no because it is not American Judaic/Christian tradition... Apparently freedom of religion in public is the for the Christian faith only :dry:
