I don't know who these people are who put this together, but it shows how throughout Harry Potter he is correctly using Satanism, and there are some scary things here.

I guess what gets me is that I don't understand how so many Christians -- Catholics and non-Catholics alike -- think Harry Potter is innocuous. I can think of two parents in particular, both devout (one Catholic, one Assemblies of God) who think Harry Potter is great because their kids are reading and they're fun and harmless stories. They look at me like I'm a lunatic when I point out the evil themes interwoven in the books.

I admit ... I haven't read them ... but I have read enough articles to know I don't want to. While I'm not worried about my soul being tainted by them because my faith is strong enough to withstand the challenge, I worry very much about my children's faith because they are still growing in Christ.

I guess it depends on who you read "Who's OK, Harry or the Hobbits?"

This is just not something I lose sleep over. Then you have the Vatican saying Harry Potter fans, relax. The Vatican says the kid is all right.

All in all, I'd rather kids read "Lives of the Saints."

Perhaps they're like me on this issue: I found the movies harmless but have only perused the books...I'll check into it more.

I admit ... I haven't read them

"I hate that TV show...I've never seen it, but I hate it anyway."

And, you know what? I hate that person. I've never talked to her, but I've heard enough about her from other people that I know I wouldn't like her.

Gophack, I'm surprised at you. How can you comment on something you've not even read? Even I have read two Harry Potter books, just so I could see if they were as horrible as some of the hysterics say they are.

They aren't.
