Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Our town's most outspoken vicar is once again throwing his toys out of the pram !
The Rev. Kevin Logan is quoted in this week's Observer as saying that Harry Potter books encourage kids "to be curious in an area that God forbids " namely the occult and paganism. What utter baloney. Logan also goes on to say " is it worth telling young people about our real saviour, Jesus Christ, while we run the risk of losing their souls to witchcraft because of stories like these ?" He goes on... " I find it hard to understand how 21st century man with all his technology seems to be turning towards superstition. " I am sorry but what is going on in his head ? The Bible is a great book , no doubt about that, but to try to tell us that our kids will grow up to be more interested in the occult because they have read a Harry Potter book and not the Bible is quite frankly ludicrous. So , good people of Accyweb; have any of you noticed your kids dabbling in the occult since reading the last Harry Potter book? Discuss..... |

yea they started wearing a dog collar and started spurting rubbish in the press:D:D:D

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Which ( or should that be Witch :) ) do you think is responsible for most of the worlds wars and problems, Religion or Harry Potter ? I rest my case :D
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
BTW this is the same Vicar who once openly accused me of being a "Satanist" at a quiz night because I had a t- shirt on with a " heavy metal" bands name on it !
This bloke is taken seriously and he has a book out on this subject; it's a real issue to him, he will be erecting a stake for burning witches given half a chance . |

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Well i hate to disappoint him but i dont know anyone who's read the latest harry potter and then gone out practicing the occult.......... well not yet anyway!!! (That is if you dont count Doug):D:D:D

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Mr Logan i think, brings a whole new meaning to the word "Pillock";)

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
He seems to revel in the publicity; if it reaches the tabloids it just makes us look even more like Royston Vasey !

The " village" in the tv show " League of Gentlemen" where they are all odd and interbred and don't like people who aren't "local" . Bit like " the "Wickerman " in comedy form. Think the original idea was to set it somewhere up near Bacup !

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
When I saw the headlines I KNEW it just had to be him!
What the Rev Kev and others like him seem to forget is that for centuries children have read fairy stories with wicked witches and evil wizards in them. Has anybody ever started practicing black magic after watching Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" ? All he's doing is getting Christianity a bad name. If he ever bothered to read Harry Potter he would see they are adventure stories where good eventually triumphs over evil. Good moral story that. |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Does this guy know that half of the stuff in Christianity was nicked from other religions including Paganism & Sun Worshippers. Because Constantine who decided to unify all religions was a Pagan. For example:
Angels Halo's have been taken from Egyptian Sun Discs, The pre-Christian God Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, Jesus' actual Birthday is thought to be some time in April. Christianity honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but Constantine shifted it to coincide with the pagan's veneration day of the sun. Most of these things, including when Easter should be held were decided by the Council of Nicaea. On the Harry Potter thing young children will just go around with a stick shouting "Expelliarmus" if they do think to look into The Occult & Paganism then i'm assuming that they are old enough to realise what it is. |

My daughter has read the books and it has done no harm to her at all. That I believe applies to all kids that read these books. |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
My girls and I have read all the books. It's always been a summer tradition with us to take them on holiday.
Mind you, I do have a lot of witchy stuff in the house and Em has some in her room! Have I damned them for all eternity? |

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
I am half way through this book and the idiot has spoilt it by telling everyone what Harry does at the end, the observer should have printed in large letters that this news article contains a spoiler, I feel robbed.
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
I dont think the Observer should have printed that crud in the first place.

He expressly asks for our comments ! He even puts his phone number in the article....01254 235089. I am astonished at the bloke's stupidity/naievety.:confused: |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
By the way i just read what hes written in the accy observer - looks like someone hasnt read the book!!!!:D:D:D Looks like hes read the spoilers and took them as gospel!!!:p:D:D

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Your reverend gentleman isn't the only one with barmy ideas like that. A couple of years ago my daughter, who runs a Brownie pack, suggested to parents that their end of year party should have a Harry Potter theme. At least 6 parents objected on the grounds that the books are evil and dabbling in witchcraft so she had to abandon the idea.
It makes you wonder what planet these people are on. |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Harry Potter obviously does not put money in Logans collection box, this devil dodger need's to look in a full length mirror.He is a dangerous man with outdated ideas that have no place in modern thinking, his bigoted view on religion is a joke, he would have personally hung 'mother Demdyke' fokelore and religion are poles apart based on fear and ignorance

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Perhaps the Rev would come on here and discuss his views ?
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
I think he means well but I do think he's got the wrong end of the (broom)stick and got things totally out of proportion.

Maybe Rev Logan should try in here:- Harry Potter for Grownups
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
I thought rev logan was a prat until I read this. Now this guy is a £$*&.
Harry Potter Books Controlling Kids (from Lancashire Telegraph) Can someone please tell these idiots that is is only FICTION. They will be asking the question next wether it is safe to send your goats across bridges in case a troll jumps out and eats them. |

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
What will be next from him I wonder? Personally I think "Lord of the Rings" might be next based on his comments about Harry.

Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
The thing that annoys me the most as a big Harry Potter fan is that he has told me the ending of the book. When the new book came out i re read the 6th book so i have just got round to reading the last book. So now thanks to this man i know that Harry Potter dies. Well gutted and very annoyed
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Claire - bear in mind that HE hasn't read the book - he hasn't told you the ending! ;) Now have I gone and spoilt it? :D
|
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
I haven't read the last book or the article in the observer, so thanks, Clair Cal, for giving the ending away.
As for the Rev Kev, what can I say that hasn't already been said by members more eloquent than I? Well, haven't we heard it all before? Bigotry, even at second hand, is still bigotry. But, then, bigots, generally speaking, are not renowned for the originality of their thinking. I am astonished that anyone with even a modicum of sense would give the poisonous rantings of this clown any credence whatsoever. Which would seem to suggest that the people who staff our local organ lack any sense whatsoever; I am sure that this revelation comes as no surprise to anyone. I think we should all send back our copies of The Observer to the editor along with a terse note suggesting that more reports from the same source will result in a fall in sales. That should "stop his tap"! |

You can bet on some juicy letters to the Editor next week though and, to be fair, they will print them. |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
My daughters have been on a youth camp with our church (just a weekendy thing, went Friday night.) Emzie took a 'pillow' as well as her sleeping bag. The pillow is in fact a cushion with some witchy wizardy stuff on it. I have not had any messages from the leaders about the dangers of her dabbling in the occult by going to sleep with her head on such a terrible pillow.
The dangers of evil are all very real. I believe that Satan is real and than anyone who does worship Satan and dabbles in the dangerous stuff could easily get out of their depth in something they don't understand - but that's a million miles away from Harry Potter and a darn good moral yarn. |
Re: Harry Potter is the devil in disguise !
Just been watching an old Simpson episode in which Flanders says Harry died went to hell. He then burnt the book. Wonder if Rev Logan was the basis of Flanders? :)

He's been silent on that subject of late, now that it's mainly thousands of African babies dieing from AIDS related illnesses everyday, and I suppose it fills his days worrying about the affect Harry Potter is having on young and old alike. The man is an idiot, and the God I know won't be too pleased when the man arrives at the Pearly Gates himself. |
