I love a bookstore clerk who knows how to make a sale. this guy is going to buy a bunch of copies of one of the most widely published series in the world like burning a dozen copies is going to make even a small dent.

I went to a Christian school for elementary school that ABSOLUTELY forbade Harry Potter, but they had zero problems with me bringing in Percy Jackson and telling everybody about the books

Funny thing some years ago I bumped into a book that analyzed the first four volumes of Harry Potter (as many as were out at the time) and found all sorts of Christian symbols 'hidden' in them. The irony...

Lol they'll have to burn 70% of the fantasy section

now people are burning Harry Potter because the author is apparently a Thought-Crimer https://www.newsweek.com/jk-rowling-books-burned-tiktok-transgender-issues-1532330

Yeah, my mom doesn't like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, or any books that have witchcraft or wizardry kinda stuff in it, because we Christians. I personally agree with her, but to each their own.

Creationism is BS.

Sadly, that's how it usually starts. :( With "the only books that should be burned are: [insert list]"

Yes, they did literally burn people in the 3rd Reich - or gas them first and then burn them to be specific. The quote was an actual commentary on burning books for political and religious reasons: https://medium.com/la-mia-biblioteca/where-they-burn-books-they-will-ultimately-burn-people-also-34b835d13b7d#:~:text=December%2013%2C%201797%3A%20Heinrich%20Heine,the%20Nazis%20during%20the%201930s.

History proves it right. Fascism, propaganda, etc. Many killed each time. Of course it doesn't apply to a small bunch of hysteric integrists because they don't have enough power and influence.

And why do you doubt that to be true? I would recommend looking at a History book... Look at the Nazis who burned books and censored art, literature, etc. and killed 6 Mio Jews. Look at Maos' cultural revolution, where teachers and intellectuals were discriminated against and killed... Plenty of examples if you take a minute to educate yourself.

Sorry, younare probably young. It really is true, find som real history books. That is one serious subject and genocides should be taught in school. Nazi germany , Maos china, armenians, the christian church, during inquisition, etc. Find proper sources and learn.

Because the Nazi didn't burn books OR people, right?
