   POPULAR MOVIE CONDEMNED BY CHRISTIANS

   The first Harry Potter-movie and the upcoming Lord of The Rings are both widely condemned by christians all over the world.
   - It's depicting witches and witchcraft, a priest says.- And even in a positive light. Young minds are easily swayed and this is not healthy for them.
   These kinds of statements often comes from the fundamental right and similar groups, but this time the attacks against the films come from major parts of christianity.
   - One explanation for this, a pagan witch is stating,- is that most christians "accept witches as long as they stay hidden, as long as we know our "place". But the movies have brought Magick and the old ways into full daylight, made it available to youths and curious people across the Earth. Perhaps it's even bringing back notions of peoples contact with nature and everything it entails.
   "Lord of the rings" opens in theaters across the planet December 19th
