The UN-Chosen One...

I laughed when I read that more Americans were planning to boycott the new Harry Potter film now that Daniel Radcliffe has come out as an Atheist. Gee, I wonder where they got that information - their tv from China, their computer from Microsoft?

Better be careful, those godless vibes will be projected quite strongly from cinema screens, showering the audience with heathenish thoughts and rays of pure evil!

Good on him anyway, I only wish politicians had the balls to do the same thing, then we wouldn't have all that religious bias weighing down on equal rights, health and freedoms issues.

I should be going to see the film next week. I didn't read the books (a little long winded (not Stephanie Meyer long winded, but still :P)) but I have enjoyed the films. And Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint did some excellent interviews on Rove last night.

What's funny is they're boycotting the movie b/c he's an Atheist, but they can completely overlook the fact that the whole story is about witchcraft!

There's an odd little section of the religious community that thinks that it doesn't matter what you believe in, as long as you believe in *something*. Therefore us Atheists are the worst kind of scum because we have no sense of moral guidance from whatever 'higher power'. Clearly I am out raping and pillaging all the time, and care for no one and nothing with my godless ways.

Witchcraft, well at least that's something. There may not be some anthropomorphic god around, but I suppose it could be classed as supernatural worship in a way. Giving ones self over to the supernatural nature of magic.
