No obviously the real devil has a pointy tail and a deep and disturbing laugh. Also I think he was born of a jackal or something.
It's all stereotyping. I'm much closer in visage to the portrayal in Constantine. I wear Versace suits (after all, I have him here making them for me), Fidel and I smoke Cuban cigars, and honestly, the only reason they call me "the most unclean" is because I once farted in the presence of God.
QPCloudy, stop pretending. You know me better than most, with all that masturbation and furry fascination. Harry Potter is not of my will, your Hairy Palm is.

I know people think this is a smart thing to say. The Bible is not fiction... I'm not saying it's true either but when a nomadic people write down their history the best they can but it's still filled with all kinds of "the fish gets larger the more you tell the story" type situations it's pretty ridiculous to call it fiction. There is a lot of important history in that book. obscured sure, but important none the less. Even on the surface you can learn the broad strokes of what happened in that area at those times. The Bible, as a book, is more complicated then these types of views reveal.
Look, Cloudy, Rowling wants to make Christians uncomfortable, especially conservative American Christians (I read that in an interview once) but what she doesn't understand is that other people have succeeded way more than she ever has. There are far more offensive things to the Christians mindset than some fictional tale about Wizards.
There's nothing wrong with being offended and just turning it off, but there's also no reason to be offended, it's just one woman's opinion and it's not even a new one. Besides, it's an ok little story and the subtext can safely be ignored because it isn't all that important to the story. They're not integrally linked the way they would be if it was a more rigorous work
As for that Gandhi guy... he drank his own piss! Does anyone take that weirdo seriously (also it's not like he had the best Christian education or anything was it??). I know it's especially enlightened of him to make sweeping generalizations like that but we're talking about a Hindu here... like he couldn't shine that flashlight on his own people for a bit? You know, the ones who believe we are all not as good as them because we weren't born in the right body? Christians have their problems, sure... but Hinduism's problems are not just the people who practice it.. the philosophy itself is messed up.

Well done, Cloudy.

I have a reputation around here as someone who stands up against any kind of Christian bashing, doesn't matter if it's Gandhi.
