A recent one is the attempted banning of the da vinci code, in fact I was just in a huge argument about it with my mom, I personaly think banning these things are absurd. I mean come on the only reason why the church hates Angels and Demons (the book) is because it takes true (dark) facts about the church and puts it into a "What if" scenario, I personaly think the church cant accept its own dark history so its trying to ban things like this. Well lets hear all of your views. (i figured we needed to restart the debates  |

Luckily they cant ban it  and its the same with the evolutionary theory, such as if my church ever told me I couldnt learn about the evolutionary theory I would convert, and im serious. Luckily my church isnt among those many catholic churchs that attempt to teach children that the truth is evil. |

i think harry potter should be banned from liberaries for being so awful....
seriously though, they are just trying to enforce their values that have no universally accepted merit on to others

i think banning books is a dumb idea. if you dont like the book, then dont read it. some people will say that a book is offensive. ok, if you think it was offensive, dont read it.

EACTLY! AND I HATE HARRY POTTER WITH MY WHOLE HEART!!!!!!!!!!! yes I hate it but I would never ban it! it gets children to read and that is more important than what the church believes you should read. if you don't htink it should be read don't read it and don't encourge other people to read it and yet don't stop them either! even with banned books now you can get them and read them on your own accord but banning in the first place is dumg and it is imposing your opinion on someone else and restricting them because of it

banning books would be a loss of opionions and ideas so we would never be open to new things. books make us think especially religious ones and I think that maybe these books can help strengthen our beliefs by gaining knowlegde from a different point of view.

Oh, you know. It's about witches and wizards and magic and things that are looked down upon by the christian church. They're paranoid that it will brainwash children or something, idk.

I think it is just because it goes against the Christian belief with wizards and witchs. Something to do with magic and its inprobablity or something I belief it is really stupid. Well, to most. Some Christians like decided that they could go ahead and try to get them to ban a book that puts down their religion and makes kids think that it is all probable. And yet they dont try to ban other books such as, if I remember right, The Magic Tree House?, I dont remember.

Well, those crazy republicans are no concern right now, as banning these types of things would result in a massive witch-hunt type scenario.
