"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."

That's fine if they don't like it. However they just about demonize those that do, suggest book bans (in a free country!), and question the salvation of those who read such books. Last time I checked the Bible, God pretty much leaves it up to us as to whether or not we read Harry Potter as long as we keep it in perspective -- a harmless fantasy.

However, to say that Harry Potter is a pagan recruitment tool, the terms "fruitcake", "nut", and "screwball" are quite applicable.

Uhhhhh......

I have yet to hear of a book ban involving Potter. As a matter of fact, you can find Potter EVERYWHERE.

I believe you better check again. The Bible says we are to avoid witchcraft. Potter may be harmless to adults but the marketing machine is aimed at children. It may not TEACH witchcraft but it makes it more acceptable to children rather like the "Heather Has Two Mommies" book makes homosexuality more acceptable to kids. Since I believe witchcraft is bad, I resent that marketing push just as I resent the Environmental push at kids.
