You may not have said anything positive, but you have studied them, and they certainly hold your fascination more than they fascinate me. And I have read Lord of the Rings... So much for your window to the occult.

I think our ability to imagine things wonderful and beautiful is one of God's greatest gifts.

If you would let your imagination develop above a child's level, you would see that for all the fantasy outer shell in Lord of the Rings, the story is, at its heart, about very human nature, human struggles, and human bravery, even when there is little hope of success.

You have not read Lord of the Rings, so don't condemn it as occult. It is silly to throw around accusations like that in the company of people who know better, and harmful to do it around those who don't.

Was Peter Pan, at its heart, about magic? - Or was it a human story about motherless little boys, and their desire to be loved?

You are wrong. I have never been fascinated with anything wicked like witchcraft. Whether they were on a forum I was already posting on when they showed up, or in a LOTR books. Neither holds any fascination for me.

The Bible is my standard.

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

I reproved them. They hated me for it. But that is ok. God said they would.

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

About Peter Pan. It's a book written by a pedophile. Of course when I was 5 and my mother read it out loud to me at night, one chapter at a time, I liked the story, although parts of it were disconcerting.

But I don't like it now. I know what kind of evil mind thought that up, a boy that never grows up. And I know why Barrie thought that up. It is disgusting to me now. Same with ALice in Wonderland, although I was never allowed to read that and never wanted to.

Say, I don't have an argument with you personally. But please do not slander me on this board and imply that I have something to do with witches. That makes me want to vomit.
