Well? Are they right?

I personally believe they are correct, in part, that people have substituted pop culture into their lives as a spiritual belief in place of traditional organized religion. They are, of course, implying that this is a good thing, which is wrong on many levels.

What do they mean by Jesus of a new generation?

>Harry can't save you from your sins

>as a white male he can't even save you from your original sin of being a white male

Harry is a worthless "savior" even in the insane SJW's worldview.

I think sportsball would top pop culture as a surrogate religion, but only marginally so.

Not, Christ, but maybe Muhammad.

I once saw someone liken Rowlings' twitter feed to being the Hadith to Harry Potter's Qur'an which I can't unsee anymore.

How vain, materialistic, and shallow-minded do you have to be to compare fictional works to scripture of any kind?

I think it was more of a cynical dig than an genuine comparison.

And let's not kid ourselves, there is very much a fanaticism about this, and Shit Wars too.

The whole meme about ">explaining complex sociopolitical matters with references from Harry Potter and Star Wars" didn't just emerge from nowhere.

It's pop-culture urbanite bugman religion.

Precisely, it's like they recognize the necessity of God and religion but would rather attempt to replace Them with the garbage their corporate overlords feed them instead of actually following a legitimate spiritual path. It drives me mad.

Also, Rowling is a disgusting whore.

>Voldemort's great sin is daring to keep wizard blood pure, rather than diluting it

>The killings he did are just a side-show, his great sin is his mean old ideology

I used to like these books once, until I grew up and realized exactly what kind of politics they were doing their best to shove into kids' heads. Now I can't read them without eternally sympathizing with Voldemort.

Fiction like mythology can be used to express those narratives and themes that speak to the religious needs of the audience, resonating with those concepts that God in His wisdom built into our hearts in the moment of our creation so that we might recognize the Gospel when it is made manifest in our lives. This resonance can either serve to prepare and instruct the audience toward a greater and perhaps deeper understanding of the true faith, or lead them astray into the abyss. Harry Potter bluntly yet thoroughly accomplishes the latter.

I think you're right about pop culture (including pop science) becoming many people's substitue for God but I think the Harry Potter thing is a little off-base. I work with a few over-thirty, unmarried women who still get all giddy over Harry Potter but I think the younger kids are interested in whatever is current be it super heroes or star wars or whatever. I'm sure whoever wrote that article is some unhappy, unmarried, childless woman just like the women I was talking about. Now they have the extra burden of being outdated on top of everything else.

Lol VICE is garbage for wannabes. Isnt Harry Potter heavily inspired by Christ? He takes a part of Valdemort (satan) to conquer him ultimately (sacrifices part of himself)

Funny, I just watched conference of an exorcist and at the Q&A session Harry Potter was bringing up. There are many empirical reason to believe it but his personal one was most convincing imho - such garbage literature couldn't make billions without demonic help.

Sportsball was only a shunt for suppressed tribal culture. Socialism/capitalism is the shunt for suppressed belief. By controlling how it's allowed to be expressed it's twisted towards material ends. At least in the US, what we face is Idolatry on an enormous scale.
