What is your background? I understand your point.. just as long as you are not painting with a broad brush. You professed in an earlier post that Potterism is not Wiccanism. Are you Wiccan? While it may be true that some readers of HP are turning to Wicca, they are somewhat misguided. To my knowledge, Wicca is more of an earth-goddess (Gaia) worship "religion" than witchcraft as portrayed in the Bible... Most of HP from my understanding is BS, and true witches probably would be insulted for being compared with it. BS,by the way, can be equated with fiction. I chimed in only as it appeared to me that you were attacking all Christians as bigots.

I'm a Christian; a Protestant. I know some Wiccans , and have read extensively on the subject. It was also part of a post graduate course I took in Comparative Religion.

Yes, Wiccan is a goddess based , nature religion; though many people , who claim to be Wiccans , are just kids / young adults, who make it all up as they go along. There are several sects, within Wicca, just as there are in most other religions.

I wasn't painting with a broad brush. I was calling a spade a spade, in that most, on these Harry Potter threads, fill their replies with misinformation, lies, and call everyone, who disagrees with them, horrid names. Those are the bigots.
