The only reason some Churches are attacking Harry Potter is because they don't have the balls to speak out against the IRS.

Harry Potter is a easy target. But if they speak out against government they risk losing their 'tax-free status'.

Harry Potter is an enemy of illiteracy.

To someone from outside the USA, this discussion here seems quite strange. However, whether you reject or do not reject the Harry Potter fiction on religious grounds, please do so always in giving your reasons and to put the view of others at debate. You may "attack" views that you may not necessarily agree with but there is no need to "attack" the people behind holding such a view.
You can better go against a crocodile like myself. I have a big mouth and some ugly long teeth and I promise to give everyone a big bite who would likes to bite me. For the rest, relax a bit and take it easy - the life we have received from God (including that of crocodiles like me..hehehe) is so wonderful. Greetings and Blessings from across the ocean to everyone here on the board - enemies and friends, crocodiles and non-crocodiles alike.
If anyone can do so, please pass on a fraternal greeting to my US-based relatives, the alligators.
