I happen to get the Inspiration Channel with my cable package. Today, there was a show on called Harry Potter:Harmless Fantasy or Witchcraft Repackaged? I happen to enjoy the Harry Potter books, so I tuned in. The man conducting the show was some sort of Christian minister who has a regular hour block on this channel. I don't recall his name, but, despite the title of the show, he ploughed immeadiately into how the Harry Potter books were "witchcraft repackaged" and that the books would cause the children of America to practice sacrificing to demons, worship demons, etc. He had two guests on his show who rambled on about the occult symbolism and how it affected the world view of witchcraft, "desensitising" Americans to demonic worhsip, and on and on it went for the better part of an hour. As a Pagan, it hurts me to know that there are still such narrow minded people out there. I love the Harry Potter books, and I must say that I have yet to worship demons and to sacrifice babies at my alter.
