Why do some Fundie Christians get all hyped up about books/movies such as Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia?
And yes, I have seen people get upset about the Chronicles of Narnia. Harry Potter, perhaps, but come on, its just a plush lion and some bad animation (well, before the new one came out)
"It’s the same old devil with a new face," - Rev. George Bender, who made Harry’s exploits part of the bonfire at a book-burning party he threw in rural Pennsylvania.
Burning books?! Remind you of something?

And yes, it is a scene from Indiana Jones.
But why moan about "witchcraft" or "talking lions" when the authors of these books are devout Christians, and the books have very strong Christian themes, particularly the cruxifiction of Jesus and the demise of Satan?
I know its not really important, but why do some people get agitated and start BURNING BOOKS?
