Good post!

Honestly, I cannot understand why so many Freepers are so threatened by people who DON'T want to see this Harry Potter movie. Its like anyone who doesn't want their kids involved with Potter-mania is roundly condemned as a fundy nutcase. Freedom of religion is part of the 1st amendment too!

In the process of casting pearls before swine, I hope to reach some who are feeling the grief of the Spirit. This is worth bearing the brunt of the ridicule. I dont usually post such extreme truths but someone needs to hear it, the ones who are reviling me are reviling the truth, they do not want a deeper-walk with God and confronting the truth eases the guilt of their conscience as they continue to believe and hold on to their or their preacher's watered-down ideas of the Word of God.

I think it's because so many of the folks who dislike Harry Potter scream that the pro-Harry Potter folks are participating in psychological child-abuse and will be held accountable to God for their misbehavior. Not to mention the fact that their kids will grow up to be masters of the black arts.

Saying stuff like that can be offensive, ya know.

He was basically saying the movie was evil and those who want to see it are sinning (or worse). To simply say he was saying he didn't want to see it is a major understatement. He was passing judgment on those who do. My wife and kids went today (now yesterday) to see it. They enjoyed it very much. Just maybe it is a well written well executed movie…

Did he protest Fantasia, Mary Poppins, Bednobs and Broomsticks among a zillion other fantasy movies when we were young? Heck, even Star Wars would be sinful according to Mr. Taliban… The "Force"… It's burning my brain…
