I reserved mine at Walden b/c it's 3 stores down from where I work. I can't wait.
As much as it's fun to combat the religious ignorant with a comebacks such as, "If Harry Potter books did teach spells I'd have turned you into a worm by now" or insert your own personal line...
Please don't. I'm not asking this as a Mod. I'm asking as a devout witch. Someone who fights every day to make this religion taken seriously and to stop spreading Hollywood-made fear.
I won't say I don't sometimes think these things. But instead I choose to arm myself with mind-opening statements instead of just eye-opening ones. Yes, it makes me sad to see people condemning a children's fiction book without even reading it. It angers me to see people trying to infringe on others rights to read what they please and live their lives how they choose. But think about how bad those people make others of their religion look. And then think about how a quick comeback makes the pagans look.
