"Good = Evil, Evil = Good.

It's later than we think."

Well, now. Another non-reader of the Potter series, I see. There seems to be a rash of such folks posting about yet another book they will not bother to read.

You know, nobody's going to force you to read any of the books. Nobody's going to send you a magic wand to wave around, or send you an owl.

You could just ignore the whole thing and save yourself a lot of stress.

I agree. This is the problem I have with a lot of "fundamental" Christians. They just can't seem to grasp the idea that not everyone agrees with their faith. They think absolutely nothing of trashing the works of Rowling, Ayn Rand, or anyone else they have been told is evil, regardless of the fact that they have never read any of the works for themselves.

Then, if you try to defend yourself or your chosen literature, they accuse you of everything from promoting devil worship, atheism, and heart disease in men between the ages of 35 to 50. My favorite is when they start talking about how my chosen literature is an "insult" to their religion, or I'm "mocking" their religion by doing something as simple as reading.
