I wrote a letter to Laura Mallory.
It was too long so I sent it in peices..
and I got a reply to a peice!!! D
It was so funny I thought I had to share..
(In case you don't know, she's trying to ban Harry Potter in the schools in her city because it promotes whichcraft which is satanic, which is ridiculous. The people on her website frikken' sent my email adress to a bunch of sites that send you free online preachings! !! )

The peice of my letter that was responded to said:
I can’t imagine how dreadful it must feel to not be liked by THOUSANDS,
maybe even hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. However, you are one of a few people that
I believe truly deserves all of this negative energy directed at them. These countless so called ‘battles’ you are ‘fighting’,
AKA losing, is RIDICULOUS. Have you not once heard of the SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE? That is one of the FORMOST
principles that this country was FOUNDED on. If you don’t like it here, LEAVE. But trust me, you’ll be equally SHUNNED and ABHORRED there,
no matter where your despicable self goes. I doubt that even the organisms on Antarctica could stand you, but I recommend that you move there-
maybe you’ll freeze and all of this nonsense will be finally put to rest!


You have no idea how much fun it was to write that.

I just got an email back that says (it's long, but very well worth it):

Hello Astra,


Well that was a mouthful, I am sure you are a very kind and pleasant person normally. Can I ask why we cannot have a conversation from two different points of view? Why there needs to be so much name calling and hatred.


The Bible says in Luke 6:22-23 says:
"What happiness it is when others hate you and exclude you and insult you and smear your name because you are mine! When that happens, rejoice! Yes, leap for joy! For you will have a great reward awaiting you in heaven."


So that is what Laura and I are doing, we are rejoicing and we find it a privilege to be persecuted for His name sake and we will continue to do His bidding. We are willing to take the insults, God is looking far and wide for people who are willing to make a difference. Do you know we were interviewed on National TV, anyone who thinks anything other than God got us on national TV is fooling themselves. We never thought this would ever go this far. God has brought it to this point and we will follow it wherever He takes it.


Please read the following:
Jesus warns us to be vigilant. He equips us with a means to test all things in Matt 12:33, “for the tree is known by its fruit.” We are to test all things by the fruit that it produces. “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad.” The following articles and quotes will shed some light on the type of fruit Harry Potter is producing among our children.


NEWSWEEK INTERVIEW BY MALCOLM JONES
JULY 1, 2000 – PAGE 4
J.K. Rowling said, “I get letters from children addressed to Professor Dumbledore (headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the books.) and it’s not a joke, begging to be let into Hogwarts, and some of them are really sad. Because they want it to be true so badly they’ve convinced themselves it’s true.”


J.K. ROWLING INTERVIEW ON THE TODAY SHOW
“I made the conscious decision that I was writing about someone evil. I am not going to tell a lie. I wasn’t going to pretend an evil person was a cobble cut out and no one would get hurt. If your writing about evil you have a responsibility to show what that means.”

“An Austrian school for witchcraft and wizardry has reported a surge in recruitment since the publication of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince . When the Hexenschule first opened in 2003, the world’s press scoffed, but two years later, it is booming.”


CONSIDER THE SORCERY BY DONNA FREYDKIN, USA TODAY,
POSTED 11/13/2002
Hexenschule’s founders freely thank Harry Potter for the surge in attendance.


“Before the movie came out last year, we had 40 students, “ Kulmitzer says. “Now we have more than double that. We think it’s quite funny how the movie benefited us.”


STATEMENT MADE BY PETER SMITH, GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE
BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF TEACHERS AND LECTURERS.
"...Harry Potter...will lead to a whole new generation of youngsters discovering witchcraft and wizardry....Increasing numbers of children are spending hours alone browsing the internet in search of Satanic websites and we are concerned that nobody is monitoring this growing fascination."


QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE – HARRY POTTER LURES KIDS TO WITCHCRAFT
AUTHORED BY BERIT KJOS
Great Britain's Pagan Federation is pleased. Although it refuses to admit members under age 18, "it deals with an average of 100 inquiries a month from youngsters who want to become witches, and claims it has occasionally been 'swamped' with calls." Pagan Federation media officer, Andy Norfolk, explains, "Every time an article on witchcraft or paganism appears, we have a huge surge in calls, mostly from young girls."


RELIGION NEWS REPORT – JULY 4, 2000
(Kate West) Now she is writing a handbook for young witches for the post-Harry Potter market, offering stepbystep guidance to becoming a witch.


STATEMENT MADE BY ANDY NORFOLK: THE MEDIA OFFICER FOR THE PAGAN FEDERATION/NEWSPAPER: THIS IS LONDON
AUGUST 4, 1999
"In response to the increased queries coming from youngsters we established a youth officer, not to promote paganism, because that would be against pagan ethics, but merely to answer these queries and allow someone to offer advice and information.”


"It is quite probably linked to things like Harry Potter, Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Every time an article on witchcraft or paganism appears, we had a huge surge in calls, mostly from young girls."




PASTOR JOHN HAGEE’S NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 2005
“When demons invade your life, they do so by your invitation. You accomplish this by the books you read. When you read the Bible, you are inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit into your life. When you read occult books such as, Ann Rice and gothic books, you invite demons in. Similarly, when you allow your children to read Harry Potter, whose theme is witchcraft; you give Satan an invitation to invade your life and the lives of your children. “


Matt 6:22-23 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye
is good, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is
darkness, how great is that darkness!”


ARE DEMONS REAL?


Ephesians 6:12-13


For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.


Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.




2 Kings 6:11-17 –
An example of the spiritual realm we do not see - Elisha

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH US ABOUT DEMONS
Matthew 12:43-45
(Jesus speaking: King James Version)

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

“Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

“Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”



They walk he goes through dry places
They seek seeking rest
They get tired seeking rest
They see and finds none - he finds it empty
They speak Then he says
They have a will I will return to my house from which I came
They think I will return to my house from which I came
They believe I will return to my house from which I came
They remember I will return to my house from which I came
10)They examine he finds it empty, swept, and put in order
11)They plan I will return to my house from which I came
12)They call for help Then he goes and takes with him seven
other spirits




James 2:19: You believe that there is one God. You do well.
Even the demons believe and tremble.















THE END.
That wasn;t there in the email but it's here for you guys.
I wonder if that's a generic message..
Because I really didn't use any blatanly mean names (just because they claim to have a system that scans out hate mail, which I was trying to get passed..)

But really, isn't that the biggest load of bullshit ever?

Today has been amazing.
