Religious debates over the Harry Potter series

Religious debates over the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling are based on claims that the novels contain occult or Satanic subtexts. A number of Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians have argued against the series, as have some Shia and Sunni Muslims. Supporters of the series have said that the magic in Harry Potter bears little resemblance to occultism, being more in the vein of fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White, or to the works of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, both of whom are known for writing fantasy novels with Christian subtexts. Far from promoting ...

Sorry, it's already slightly too full.

It's 6 players, which is slightly pushing it.

Yuuki

Fair enough.

Ronan

Although I have some 5e experience, so if we want to do a bridge game I can DM.

Yuuki

Wipqozn

Yuuki

I'm willing to give DMing a try as well, but it'd be my first time for 5e.

Ronan

I don't have much experience DMing though.

Wipqozn

I play saturdays with some RL friends, although not every saturday

Ronan

8:26 PM

We could create characters for everyone and take turns DMing short campaigns.

Yuuki

I've DM'd a few Pathfinder one-shots.

Ronan

With persistent characters.

Wipqozn

Kevin van der Velden

I would be down for joining that

Yuuki

Character progression in Pathfinder vs. progression in 5e is so weird.

Rather than ability scores and feats, it's ability scores or feats.

Ronan

8:27 PM

Class skills, feats are a different thing.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki yeah, but classes get more class specific stuff in 5e

Ronan

Oh wait nevermind. My brain died for a second there.

Yuuki

Yeah, it seems like they moved a lot of the power from feats to class features.

Wipqozn

I prefer 5e to pathfinder tbh. The classes seem a lot more balanced.

well @KevinvanderVelden, @Ronan and @Yuuki. That's 3 people interested.

wait no

Ronan

Feats are a variant rule anyway, they're not really that balanced.

Wipqozn

8:28 PM

I'm a person too

Kevin van der Velden

Are you?

Are you sure?

Ronan

5 players and DM is probably max I'd say.

Yuuki

I want to make a Paladin (Tiefling, maybe) and then multiclass into Warlock after two levels.

Wipqozn

@Ronan I always just play with the feat rule. It's really just to make humans better.

@Ronan Agreed. 4-5 players is ideal

3 is too few, 6 is too many.

4-5 gives room for party variety

I'd probably make a Bard

Yuuki

Oath of Vengeance and then the Fiend pact. The whole "corrupted hero" archetype.

Ronan

8:30 PM

@Wipqozn Yeah humans are underpowered, but you can synergise feats to make some broken builds.

Yuuki

@Ronan I'm fine with that. Humans were way overpowered in Pathfinder.

Wipqozn

@Ronan yeah I suppose. My groups just tries to avoid doing that.

Yuuki

Hmm... would Link be a Fighter or a Ranger?

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Base humans in 5e are: +1 to all abilities. Variant (feat) humans: +1 to two abilities, one feat

Ronan

@Wipqozn Oh yeah absolutely, I wouldn't disallow feats. You just need to be careful.

@Yuuki Fighter I think. BotW is more ranger though.

Yuuki

8:31 PM

@Ronan I think, lore-wise, BotW Link would be a Fighter/Ranger multiclass.

Avery

@Wipqozn theres a movie of it

Kevin van der Velden

Also if we're playing DnD I think it's already clear what race my character should be

Yeah, lorewise he has the whole navigation and self-sufficiency thing going, but not really mechanically.

The other thing about 5e is that the handbook doesn't talk about grids and such, so we can just theatre of the mind instead of needing something like R20.

Ronan

@Yuuki Yeah grids aren't needed at all in 5e.

With more people it becomes useful though.

RedRiderX

@Yuuki Well R20 isn't just for grids

It can help manage assets and rolls and stuff right?

Ronan

I'm just about to start using it this sunday because my DnD group has moved online.

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Halfling?

@RedRiderX You'd only need to DM if you want to. I've never DM'd, but if we're doing short campaigns I'd be down for giving it a shot.

Ronan

Oh by the way there are some unearthed arcana classes they've been releasing.

If you want to play ranger check out the UA because the standard ranger is underpowered.

Wipqozn

@Ronan yeah Idon't use them with my group. That said, grids might be a good idea if we're doing online play.

@Ash yeah it wouldn't be a big deal tbh. The DM could just autopilot your character if you're not there, depending on where we pick up in the session.

My group has had people need to sit out before for whatever reason, and the DM just autopilots. Things go fine.

Oh man I don't even know what I would do for a build

Yuuki

Well, it seems that builds in 5e are a lot less complicated than 3.5e or Pathfinder.

So you'd just pick a race and class and go from there.

Whereas in 3.5e and Pathfinder, you'd worry about feats, traits, etc.

I finally had to tell him off and unfollow him, as he wouldn't stop.

Yuuki

I'm guessing you tried to explain that the whole manger thing is that it was the local government setting up the manger scene. If a private citizen did so, it would be fine. And I'm guessing that it didn't take.

Unionhawk

Precisely like that

Which led to the above which really just makes me believe that he doesn't understand the difference between a citizen doing a thing and the government doing a thing

Yuuki

9:58 PM

Well, there's always pseudo-agreeing with him. "Yeah, it's a shame that the local government can't set up a scene of Mohammed receiving divine inspiration from Gabriel to write the Qur'an because of the Establishment Clause". For some reason, anti-ACLU people tend to also be vehemently Islamaphobic.

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk Well the government is a business and businesses are people so.

Memor-X

@Unionhawk you'd think that but back when i was in high school one of the "minischools" couldn't decorate or celebrate Christmas within it because one of the Year 7's threw fits whenever people did christmasy things like sing jinglebells or what not. normally you's think fuck him but the kid had an intellectual disability so the teachers went out of their way to accommodate him

which up to the point that all the other classrooms during homeroom was told that exchanging of christmas cards and presents (if a student did that) should be done outside of school or at the very least outside the minischool. effectively a ban on christmas in that minischool

(this came after someone pushed him into the lockers when he took their christmas card and ripped it up)

StrixVaria

Christmas should be kept out of schools, seeing as it is religious and schools are public.

murgatroid99

Christmas isn't really religious in America anymore

Ronan

@murgatroid99 For some people it really is.

Memor-X

10:09 PM

@StrixVaria it may be a cult but who wouldn't love a cult based around the day a fat jolly guy who gives out free stuff was born?

murgatroid99

I would bet that celebrating Christmas or not is largely independent of being a Christian or not in America

Yuuki

@Memor-X Objectivists.

murgatroid99

Depending, I guess, on what exactly qualifies as "celebrating"

Memor-X

@Yuuki i stand corrected

murgatroid99

e.g. There's an American Jewish Christmas tradition of eating Chinese food. I don't know if simply following tradition is sufficient to count as "celebration", or even "observance".

Ronan

10:14 PM

@murgatroid99 I actually didn't mean to the people celebrating it, I meant to people who don't celebrate it because they're of a different religion. For them being told that "Christmas is for everyone" is being told that a religion other than theirs is universal.

Yuuki

IIRC, that was born from the circumstances that most restaurants were closed on Christmas Day due to Christian proprietors staying home. As the Chinese were generally not Christian, they stayed open on Christmas Day so American Jews would go to Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day because they were the only restaurants open.

murgatroid99

@Ronan My point is that I think whether or not you celebrate Christmas in America doesn't depend significantly on your religion. In other words, people mostly don't celebrate it or not because of their religion; it's a secular holiday that they may or may not celebrate for whatever reason.

Memor-X

@StrixVaria i can understand that. while i don't know if anyone at my high school was religious or not i would think a religion who is so offended by christmas that they would want it out right banned it isn't very accepting of anything that's not strictly followed in according to their doctrine by people who aren't even apart of their faith

murgatroid99

I think it's possible to separate the secular celebration of Christmas from the Christian observance of Christmas

@Yuuki That's basically accurate. Though I think you'll find that many other traditions had similarly pragmatic origins.

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 I'm not going to bother to look at anything but this message (like actually), and I can confirm the same is true in Canada. I forget Christmas is supposed to be a religious holiday all the time.

Yuuki

10:19 PM

I think that's also where the kosher tradition comes form. Pigs (or at least pigs before modern livestock farming) tend to have a lot of parasites so a ban on consuming pork had a lot of health benefits as well.

StrixVaria

@Memor-X lol talking about accepting

Like that has literally anything to do with it.

murgatroid99

Basically, if your celebration of Christmas involves gifts, a decorated evergreen tree, and a jolly old fat guy who wears red, there's nothing really religious about it. If it has a manger scene and stories about the guy Christians worship, it is religious.

Yuuki

One day, I want to go to Chinatown on Christmas Day just to see if the crowd's noticeably different.

StrixVaria

Yes, there is some non-religious way to celebrate Christmas.

I even do that.

But it still doesn't really belong in schools where there are people who don't do that.

murgatroid99

Arguably, you could say that about any holiday. There's always someone who doesn't celebrate it, for whatever reason

StrixVaria

10:25 PM

Sorry I can't and don't want to get fully invested in this because I'm also playing Overwatch.

Memor-X

@StrixVaria what i was trying to say was that while i can understand religious neutrality in schools i wouldn't think a respected religion would have a problem with other people outside their faith celebrating a holiday that a religion might be against to the point where they would tell a school to outright ban it. like "i don't like this while holiday, but you don't follow my faith and it's not in the way of following mine so it's not my place to force you to stop"

StrixVaria

No one in their right mind cares what anyone else celebrates.

But not at a public school.

Now that I think about it, I know that "Zero Dawn" is an important plot point thanks to RIP @twobugs, but why is it called "Horizon"?

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria Again, if Christmas can be celebrated as a secular holiday, why specifically exclude such celebrations from public schools?

StrixVaria

Because schools are for learning and it creates a needless sense of exclusion for non-participants.

murgatroid99

10:30 PM

So, you're basically arguing that no holidays should be celebrated at schools, in case someone doesn't celebrate it

StrixVaria

Sure.

Mad Scientist

The way it is celebrated now, Christmas is almost a secular holiday

StrixVaria

There are national holidays which are fine.

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria Christmas is a national holiday

StrixVaria

Well it shouldn't be.

I am really playing Overwatch though, so I'm going to stop.

murgatroid99

10:32 PM

It's a secular holiday.

StrixVaria

Let's just come up with a new non-religious name then!

We can keep Christmas for the manger baby Jesus stuff and use the new name for the santa and reindeer stuff.

murgatroid99

The name is historically religious. That doesn't mean that the holiday is currently religious

It's like "marriage". The secular/legal meaning has overtaken the religious meaning in modern usage in America

Arguing on the internet is a great way to procrastinate

StrixVaria

That's true.

murgatroid99

In my mind, at least "bless you" is basically a learned automatic reaction. It doesn't mean anything, it's just the thing you say after someone sneezes. People say it because it's considered polite for whatever reason to say something after someone sneezes, and "gesundheit" is harder to pronounce/spell.

StrixVaria

@badp Easter is so blatantly religious that I thought it was self-evident that it shouldn't be in school, so I didn't bring it up.

badp

I mean yes you can secularize most holidays

StrixVaria

Christmas is much more on the line or the other way on the spectrum.

badp

and that's mostly what is happening

murgatroid99

If your celebration of Easter primarily involves rabbits, eggs, and other symbols of fertility, it's not really the same as the Christian Easter, which involves going to church

badp

all I know is that the NL has very few bank holidays and I'm holding tight on them

murgatroid99

Q: How do I suppress a driver warning dialog box?

Mass Effect Andromeda dropped recently, and I've been excited to play it. However, every time I launch the game, I get the following warning: To be clear, I understand that updating my graphics driver would solve this. In my own defense, I do not frequently update my drivers due to NVIDIA's le...

Q: Is the Andromeda Initiative Stuck in the Heleus Cluster?

In Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3, ships move around the galaxy using mass relays. They can accomplish "short"-range movement between "nearby" stars using FTL drives on the ships, but to get from one cluster of stars to another they need the relays. I recall the codex in those games saying that althou...

@Unionhawk I can't remember if this is a yay or not. All of the acronyms are confusing.

@Ash the affordable care act is the original 2010 law. The affordable health care act is the current repeal and replace bill

It's almost like they were trying to be intentionally confusing now that I think about it

MBraedley

Seriously? I have to watch these cut-scenes again?

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki up for paragon?

@MBraedley do they have player interaction?

MBraedley

Not enough though.

Hopefully this time I actually dock with the Nexus...

Nope, not even as far as last time

Maybe if I go true fullscreen.

user15026

@Unionhawk okay yeah, that's confusing.

@Unionhawk I think it's American Health Care Act.

Unionhawk

Probably

I don't think even they'd call it affordable.

I think the bill is actually something stupid like "greatest healthcare plan of 2017"

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk "World's Greatest"

er

World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017

The "World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017", is the title for a United States of America legislative bill proposed on March 7, 2017, by Republican Party legislator Pete Sessions to repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA" or "Obamacare"). The bill's current format removes the ACA's individual mandate, which taxed individuals without health insurance. Moreover, it maintains some aspects of the ACA including ensuring insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions, allowing children to stay on their parents' health care until they are 26 years old, and banning the...

And no that's not it

> This is not to be confused with the American Health Care Act, which is the bill backed by president Trump and most Republicans

Q: How is the ball "activated" in DropShot?

What determines when the ball loses its shell or goes super-saiyan? People have been claiming it has to do with how hard you hit the ball, but I've seen people barely tap it and cause it to lose its shell. My guess is that it has to do with how many times the ball has been hit (or how many uniq...
