Re: Harry Potter written without the ~magic~/witchcraft

What makes you think troll, the premise or the actual writing?

(because sorry, I'm not reading anything written like that. Too many bad memories. I can't critique the writing for you.)

Because the purpose/premise? Is absolutely what Christians think. I used to be in that world. I used to work at a Christian bookstore that existed in the same mall with a B&N. The staff getting together for a collective rant about how HP was full of witchcraft and going to turn a generation of kids into witches is one of my coldest, most frightening memories of that place. It happened the day after one of the midnight releases of one of the books, I don't remember which.

Nice people, but terribly misinformed. As long as some pastor somewhere says a thing is witchcraft and you should run away from it, the collective sheep will eat it up and parrot it back, and never think for themselves on the matter. So I would completely believe that some mother thinks the best way to keep her kids from being laughed at because they never read HP is to write them a Christianized fic of it. If anything, I'm surprised someone didn't do it 15 years ago already.

Okay, I think if you read the writing (though I understand you don't want to, for valid reasons) you would understand OP's question - I agree that the premise of "crazy right-wing Christian thinks HP is the devil's work" is PERFECTLY realistic, but the execution here does bring up some questions about the veracity of the author's supposed beliefs (imo).

But sorry that you had to go through that. :/

Thanks for that, but...no. Some Christians, sure, but don't act like you know the entire faith inside and out just because of the staff at one bookstore.
