Can't have our kids having too much imagination now,can we?

With all the strife in the world, I'm glad the Pope took the time to bash Harry Potter. I mean it is the root of all evil, isn't it?

Benedict, formerly CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER is grateful to HARRY POTTER - GOOD OR BAD author GABRIELE KUBY for revealing the hidden agendas behind the popular children's books.

He says, "It is good that you explain the facts of Harry Potter, because this is a subtle seduction, which has deeply unnoticed and direct effects in undermining the soul of Christianity before it can really grow properly."

Leading Christian theologian UTA RANKE-HEINEMANN, 77, comments, "The Vatican feels it has the copyright on what is good and what is evil and it does not want anyone else infringing its right to this monopoly.

"It will condemn anyone who tries to enter this territory without its permission."

Man, I consider myself a fairly religious person who actually tries to live by the teachings of Christ in the "NEW" Testament, but I have to say:

The all powerful omnipresent God, must be pretty weak in the Pope's eye if a couple of successful books can "undermine the soul of Christianity"

I say the same thing to folks who say we've removed God from public schools. I think you're pretty full of yourself if you think you can remove God from anything. If he wants to be in the public schools, he'll be there.
