I just wonder what kind of stupid person believes in witchcraft?

Do you believe in Unicorns?    Do you believe in Fairies?
Do you believe you need help?   I don't intend to ever read
Harry Potter but I really enjoyed the Alvin Maker books!

The sad thing is, all of the people railing and ranting against Harry Potter are overlooking a chance to TEACH their kids about their values. I LOVE the Harry Potter books. They are a battle of good vs evil. And good always wins in the end. I am more concerned about the rampant lying in the books than the magic. WHEN my kids are old enough, we will read them together, and discuss what is right and wrong about the books. How many of you people complaining about these books have allowed your children to read the Chronicles of Narnia with no discussion. There is black magic in Narnia. A discussion about the blood sacrifice, for example, would TEACH your children instead of just forcing them to come to their own conclusions. And to the person who said God doesn't recognize fiction...what exactly are the parables then?
