You don't really hate me, It is the Lord, and the Truth that you hate.

From the way you carry on, you fancy yourself as one and the same.

And I don't "hate" you; I'm just pokin' you with a stick because you've got such a tight sphincter.

OH! So when the kid, whose name escapes, tell Harry that what he is doing is wrong and he stands up against Harry for right against wrong; then, a spell is put on him where he can't move and falls on his face like a board for standing up against wrong does not apply!

Bump for your post 188. BTW: Love your screen name.

“Azkaban,” “Circe,” “Draco,” “Erised,” “Hermes,” and “Slytherin.” These are Wicca names for devils and demons.

I did some internet searches looking for Wicca websites that say this. I didn't find anything. However, I did find a website that you seem to have plagarized from. Your original source?

I've got a little black cat who has cursed my family into cleaning his box.

Dude, no kidding! We have that same problem. If y'all haven't tried exorcism, don't bother. The cat will scoff at it and swat at the priest's stole, and the priest will charge you to have the tassels replaced.

"You have the right to call yourself anything you like, but just because you call yourself a "Christian" doesn't make you one."

You're not in a position to make that judgement, and you're arrogant if you think you are. God is the only one who can make such an assessment of my soul. I am a Christian because I've followed the Biblical path to salvation and I live my life and conduct my family life in a Christian manner.

I also am aware that we live in a free society. The freedom that someone has to read 'Harry Potter' is the same freedom I have to worship God as He sees fit. It's called the First Amendment. I think we should keep it.

Live and let live, folks!

That's right. If some people don't like Potter, let them not like it. It doesn't mean they are a nut or fuitcake.

Yes, and I'm glad you asked.

Saying Harry Potter is evil and teaches witchcraft to children is like saying that THE LORD OF THE RINGS is evil and teaches the same. And yet, JRR Tolkein was best friends with C.S. Lewis and taught theology at Oxford (if memory serves). Harry Potter is doing one thing ... IT'S GETTING KIDS TO READ IN AN MTV AGE. And that's a good thing. Parents can handle the rest.

[JRadcliffe]

"REMEMBER THAT GOD IS FAR GREATER!"

I not only remember that, I actually believe it. That is why I am not the least bit concerned with your witch hunt or book burning. It's been done in the past -- the ultimate backlash being against "Christians" -- and rightly so.

Think before you post!

As I understand it, you were born in sin, and damned from birth. I guess, from the same reasoning, that if you had never been born, you would have dodged original sin, and therefore go straight to Heaven. Your bad luck that your parents didn't have an abortion, then you'd be guaranteed a place in Heaven. Too late now, though. You'd better accept Christ as your Personal Savoir, or go to Hell...

Those names are half made up. Look at Slytherin. It is a group in Harry Potter's school, whose mascot is the snake (slithering... get it? DUH). Another example: Erised is the name of a mirror that mirror one's desires... Erised is Desire spelled backwords. GET IT?

Other names are from mythology or foreign languages (Draco = Latin for Dragon).

Sirius Lupin, for example, borrows his name from Sirius the "Dog Star".

You are simply plagarizing someone else's lies. Bad form.

C'mon dude... these fruitcakes did a helluva lot more than "not like it".

BTTT for truth

Thanks! I've had that nickname from my classmates since my Dungeons and Dragons days. You know, those days when I would participate in pagan rituals ("Trick or Treat!") and watched "Bewitched" and "Ultraman".

Still haven't figured out to wiggle my nose and make mystical things happen. Some paganistic, libertarianish wiccan I am! ;-)

OH! So when the kid, whose name escapes, tell Harry that what he is doing is wrong and he stands up against Harry for right against wrong; then, a spell is put on him where he can't move and falls on his face like a board for standing up against wrong does not apply!

Well, if I remember correctly, Harry and Co. were in a rush to save the universe from evil. So the kid was trying to stand up for rules and did not have a clue what harry was up to, so I wouldn't exactly classify that right against wrong. In fact, Harry had the greater good on his side.

Really, Then you don't know the Messiah? Go read Isaiah 53. Jesus was a jew, the Son of David.

[HELLRAISER II]

You obviously have faith in your religion & I respect that & I don't wish to offend you. But even though I am one that believes in the right to pray in school, I'm Pro Life & I believe in overall religious freedoms. I have to tell you, you seem a little Extreme in your beliefs to me. A series of Story Books is not going to send anyone to Hell.

Your point is.........?
