Question

What is the best books about mythology?

Answer

"It contains some powerful and valuable lessons about love and courage and the ultimate victory of good over evil," said Paul Hetrick, spokesman for Focus on the Family, a national ultra-conservative Christian group based in Colorado Springs. "However, the positive messages are packaged in a medium — witchcraft — that is directly denounced in Scripture." Accordingly, Harry Potter has been the subject of at least one book burning. Continuing with the same line of reasoning, in 2002, Chick Publications went so far as to produce a comic book tract titled "The Nervous Witch" that claimed "the Potter books open a doorway that will put untold millions of kids into hell". Chick Publications also released a DVD entitled Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged which made claims that "Harry's world says that drinking dead animal blood gives power, a satanic human sacrifice and Harry's powerful blood brings new life, demon possession is not spiritually dangerous, and that passing through fire, contacting the dead, and conversing with ghosts, others in the spirit world, and more, is normal and acceptable." This religious fear was lampooned in an article in The Onion, that claimed the High Priest of Satanism had said, "Harry is an absolute godsend to our cause." The spoof was e-mailed as proof that Harry Potter books were causing children to turn to Satanism, and garnered many believers, apparently oblivious to the irony of a Satanist using the word "godsend." .
