Religious Wackos (Undoubtedly Trump Supporters) Spreading Ignorance On Amazon

I was on Amazon looking up a simple dragon magic wand one of my children wants for Christmas when I scrolled down to the reviews section. I noticed that this particular item had a lower score because someone had given it a one-star review. When I read the one-star review, I saw that the person giving it named themselves "Child Of Light" and gave it a one-star review because it was "Witchcraft." Even said something to the effect of, "Might as well just tell your child, here you go, honey, now burn in hell." I then saw that she was ALL OVER the toy reviews on Amazon doing the same thing. I clicked "Review Not Helpful" on all of her reviews.

Seriously, what is wrong with people? I'm pretty sure that if Hell were real (SPOILER ALERT: it isn't), owning a TOY isn't going to get you there.

1. Report it as inappropriate and vote it down.

Amazon reviews allow for both options.

6. I Voted Down And Reported All Her Reviews

She left essentially the same review for all 5 variations of this toy.

7. I didn't see the other reviews, but I did vote down that one and report it also.

She'll end up losing her ability to post reviews at this rate.

10. Interestingly, just now it has two upvotes. No downvotes.

I just gave it a downvote and reported it. Let's see if my downvote shows up.

3. Not to get too sidetracked, but $62 for a fairy wand??!!!

That's always a dilemma with looking at items on Amazon. I'd say 80% of the reviews are helpful, but there are some reviews that are completely insane. When an item gets thousands of reviews, it's very difficult to wade through them all.

BTW: I reported that review as abuse by a religious nut job who hadn't bought the thing.

4. Seriously, what is wrong with people?

I have often wondered this myself.

A lack of rational thought and a need for a sense of superiority.

9. These are the same people who think that

kid's Trick or Treating on Halloween are in the thralls of an evil plot by Satan to destroy the world.

12. True.

Everything is viewed through a good v. evil lens.

5. There Was a Comedian Who Made Fun of People Like That

Sorry, I don't remember his name.

Obviously the Harry Potter books are harmless fantasy for kids. He said that whackjobs shouldn't claim that things like they taught kids magic unless they walk into their room and find the kid floating above the bed surrounded by demons.

8. I see Westboro Baptists marching with signs: "God hates toys." nt

11. I'd give it a zero-star review for being anti-rationalist and anti-science.

Just kidding. The phrase "lighten up" just doesn't mean anything to some people.
