*** DING DING DING *** No more calls; we have a winner.
I'm sure that poor Aquinasfan feels terribly put upon by having these "arguments" scrutinized and found wanting, but it's necessary. After insisting (for example) that it's long past time for the Muslim community to repudiate its nut fringe, it is surely incumbent upon FReepers to do likewise.
I'm sure the lunatic fringe mean well. I'm just hoping to point out that even if the HP series (and heavy metal, and D&D) existed for the sole purpose of drawing kids away from God they're not doing nearly as good a job as the people constantly ringing the alarm bell. Between giving people headaches, embarassing the faith, and the inevitable boy who cried wolf phenomenon they really do the faith a disservice.
