Gee... I don’t usually have a problem differentiating between fantasy and reality. I also don’t usually have a problem with taking heed when my God gives me a warning. I would much rather err on the side of righteousness than compromise with the world. That is my personal decision to make.

Are the Potter series edifying? Perhaps to you, but to me, I see no such redeeming value. My life is complete without them, hardly sad. It’s rather pathetic when you consider the value of a person’s life based on whether or not they choose to read the Potter books or not. And in the long run, I don’t have to worry about making witchcraft more palatable, in the real world.

I was basing my supposition that you have a problem differentiating between fantasy and reality because our your comments and citing various Bible versus. I stand by my claims. I would much rather err on the side of righteousness than compromise with the world. Me too. But I am not compromising just because I've read the books and saw the movies. My faith is strong. And I've never been tempted. taking heed when my God gives me a warning. I heed God too. But God didn't tell me about fantasy. He was talking about reality. That is my personal decision to make. Of course it is. So what was your point? You don't see anything edifying in the Potter series because you haven't read them. I didn't say your life isn't complete without them. My life is complete without them, but it has given me alot of enjoyment. Hardly sad. It was you who try to state that I or others base the value of a person's life on reading the books. Far from it. Reading Potter doesn't make witchcraft "more palatable". It doesn't teach witchcraft. It teaches about defeating evil, friendship, courage, strength, ingenuity, respect, perserverance, sacrifice, family, etc. Do any of those sound familiar to you?
