Everyone can agree that murder is wrong yet books aren’t banned because they depict a killing. (If this were the case, would there be any books left?) So why should any film or book be banned for containing something with which one disagrees?
[Just a quick note: the vast majority
of homophobes/transphobes etc I know are atheists so this isn’t a dig at
religion. This is a dig at discrimination and the faulty arguments that come
with it.]
Also the witch thing is a
misunderstanding because witchcraft/paganism (not one in the same) has nothing
to do with Satan or Satanism. Paganism worships nature and Satanism isn’t that
way inclined. Witches believe everything has power, from themselves to animals,
gems and plants, so they have no need to deal with the Devil. So for Christians
to ban witchcraft because of its association with Satanism is illogical.
Banning a book because it contains something you disagree with is an odd concept. How come you disagreeing with it take precedence over other people who agree or feel neutral about it? Why is your opinion more important than everyone else’s? If you don’t want to read it, don’t read it. Restricting other people’s choices seems hardly necessary.
