but I can judge whether or not you seem to be following Christ's path

And where is this path? Jesus's life was full of events which arent recorded in the Bible. His entire childhood is missing. Do you know what occurred during that time and could you enlighten us as to what path he was following then?

or watch Rugrats.

Rugrats are evil? Please don't tell me Chuckie is the evil one and ruin it for me. Though I have always suspected Tommy.

[HELLRAISER II]

We have a lot of Crazies here, hell sometime you might say the same about me. But that's what makes this forum interesting, it wouldn't be near as interesting if everybody agreed with what we said. There are some here that are more radical than others, I look for the join date alot of times because we also get a lot of lurkers & disrupters. The biggest thing is say what you feel & don't get your feelings hurt when somebody busts your chops. Live with the philosophy of "I give as good as I get."

Why would a witch need an airplane?

Not much fuel in a broomstick????

[AppyPappy]

Not evil.... rude.

"I wonder who was in my room last night . . . who the hell was in my bed?"

[Arkinsaw]

THE PEOPLE'S FRONT OF JUDEA?

WANKERS!

[matthew7.13]

I agree 100% It's pretty naive to belief that a "book" is only innocent fun and entertainment. It may seem innocent enough on the surface but books transmit ideas and ideas becomes actions. Giving kids the idea that witchcraft, divination and blood sacrifice is nothing more then "simple fun" is pure stupidity. Anyone ever hear of The Koran, Mein Kempf, Origin of Species, The Communist Manifesto? Think these books may have influenced some people??? I highly recommend the video "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged Making Evil Look Innocent to those who can see forest for the trees! http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/Videos_in_Depth/hp_witchcraft_repackaged.htm

"Not much fuel in a broomstick????"

Try the new electric ones. ;)

Back in the 80's it was D&D that was the fundamentalists bane, it was going to be the end of our youthful lives and that we would all be damned to hell and would go insane.

In the mid-80s I worked for a candidate who almost lost his primary to a fundamentalist whose entire platform was based on getting D&D out of the schools. We won the primary, but we wasted a lot of time difusing that that could've helped us in the general (we lost).

"You must be one of those new age christians who only choose the parts they like and throw out the rest. Sorry if you aren't comfortable with the entire christian religion, but that's your problem, not mine."

Nope ... a southern conservative church. However, I can make the distinction between fanstasy and reality. Most children can. The 'religious right' apparently can't.

Reading about Harry Potter is not the same as participating in witchcraft.

I read Mein Kampf when I was 13. I was, and still am, very interested in history, especially WWII and wanted a glimpse into the mind that started it all. Fascinating book. After you've read it the missteps Hitler took that thankfully garaunteed our eventual victory can be understood; it's clear WHY he did those things, frankly our guys should have read it while preparing for the war, they could have constructed the war plan to invite more foolish mistakes and won it that much quicker.

Alice in Wonderland encourages kids to fall down holes and eat mushrooms.

And another thing-- Mary Poppins encourages kids to float down to the ground with umbrellas. Poppins is a scourge.

So what's the deal with the name "Harry Potter?" It seems a real unlikely coincidence.

I don't know, but isn't someone buried in potter's field a pauper? The books are about a poor kid, who through hard work and strong sense of fairness and right and wrong, is making something of himself.

I *think* that he's not just praying himself to be better offends some...

[jrherreid]

Yer a loser.

Correction--I think it's "Yer a lewzer". Just a minor detail.

[Ward Smythe]

Poppins is a scourge.

You'd better watch out. She's a freeper you know.

[Xenalyte]

I wanna be a blasphemer too. Where do I sign up?

[null and void]

Maybe it was a poor translation, but it was just incoherent.

It's not the translation. It IS incoherent...

Ever read "Earth In The Balance"?

[Ward Smythe]

The books are about a poor kid

Well, actually, Harry is quite wealthy, but his "muggle" Aunt and Uncle don't know that. Harry learns of the wealth when he goes off to Hogwarts. Part of the story line involves the fact that Harry always has money while his best friend Ron, comes from a large, working class family and wears a lot of hand me downs...

[JoeMomma]

"Anyone ever hear of The Koran, Mein Kempf, Origin of Species, The Communist Manifesto?"

Yes, and if I'd read all of them, at no time would I have been a Muslim, a Nazi, an evolutionist, or a commie. Just as reading Harry Potter does NOT make me a participant to witchcraft.

I'm sure most people will agree that merely reading the Bible doesn't make one a Christian. So how can merely reading Harry Potter make on a participant to witchcraft?
