The claim that reading Harry Potter will make you evil is remarkably similar to the claims of the anti-gun lobby. We need to get rid of guns because guns kill. Guns don't kill, people kill. Books don't make you evil.

One can maintain a healthy relationship with God and enjoy a horror movie or a fantasy novel. Neither will make you evil, only your heart can do that.

Whew...that's a relief. I'm a huge Stephen King fan (but I'm trying to lose weight)...Was getting kind of worried there.

My first roommate in college oh-so-many-years-ago was president of the local Baptist Student Union. First thing he said to me was "You're going to hell for reading that book," as I sat there reading King's The Stand. Told him I'd save him a seat. We didn't get along real well after that.
