Are your kids being deprived because the Religious Right declares their hero's "unacceptable"?

Religious extremists have decided that the Harry Potter books are not acceptable for children because they have a Homosexual (gay) character in them. Isn’t that rich! A fiction sequence of novels has been determined to be hazardous to children by the right wing Religious Right.

I find this very interesting as well as extremely revealing. First of all the books are fiction. None of the characters in the books are real. They don’t exist! Isn’t it a bit crazy to decide that something that is fictional isn’t acceptable? That’s like saying that anything that is improvable is fictional and therefore not acceptable. What does that say about the bible?

Isn’t it interesting that instead of cleaning up the messes they have within their organization with preachers, pastors, and others in positions of power and those who have access to the very children they are so worried about they find it necessary to attack a fictional character? Much like Jerry Farewells attack on Tinky Winky, the entire saga appears to be just another attempt to play with the minds of others.

They didn’t approve of the Harry Potter series to begin with because of the “mystical” aspects of the document. Compared to what? The bible?

I think the entire thing is ridiculous! Children need a bit of magic in their childhood. It’s good for the creative mind. It’s good for the “I want to understand” inquisitive maturity of their being. It also develops their ability to decipher reality from fiction…. AHHHH there’s the rub… If they develop that capability God knows what will happen… They won’t believe all the crap these hypocrites want to pump into their minds. Well that part of the mystery is solved but what other reasons would they have for attacking a Fictional Character?

I heard on spokesman for the Religious Wrong saying that kids would say that they needed to try this Gay thing out because they read it in Harry Potter. Can you imagine saying “I think I’ll try being gay” based on a fictional character? If your kids are that easily manipulated you have more problems than them “trying gay”! Talk about Paranoia! They are more likely to try “suicide bomber” based on reality!

By the way, I heard there are rumors that Burt and Ernie, Peppermint Pattie, & Bugs Bunny were all gay. At least these zealots don’t have to worry about them having abortions right?
