I am not sure what exactly I said that got you going in the first place, but you sure have a raw nerve there! Not to sure about your bible, dear? I'm sure.

My original point was that a lot of people are spending a lot of time worrying about Harry Potter. I joined in the fun at first, too.

There are bigger threats in the world being brought to light, right now, and I just find it interesting that Harry has a lot of people "looking the other way".

Now, go practice your beliefs. Oh, you are? Scary!

I really couldn't care less about Harry Potter. Read all the books you want to, go see the movie, I don't care. I merely saw a hateful attack on someone's religious beliefs and responded.

I agree that "There are bigger threats in the world being brought to light, right now," Religious bigotry is one of them.

So, in the first chapter of the Book of Mamaduck:

1. Thus sayeth mammaduck, who knoweth how all must believe and act:
2. Now, go practice your beliefs.
3. Oh, you are? Scary!

Kinda cheesy, so far. Not a lot of detail. Maybe it's a "living document" type of holy book, open to interpretation.

Now I might just have to agree with your analogy. If there is anything wrong about the Potter Movie and books, it would be that so many "Christians" are exerting a lot of energy on inert subject matter.

Energy that could be spent doing a lot of good. Like helping the poor, the homeless. Trying to get the word out about the infanticide that is going on. There are a million worthy causes. And I have to agree with what someone said. The energy and time should be spent on stopping some of the songs (Like "some" of the young artists sing, people like Eminem, etc.)

I know there was sin when I was young.. but I have to say it wouldn't hurt to go back to a TON of the lifestyles that we lived back then. I always thought as we evolved, we got wiser. Not necessarily so... sadly!

Anyway,.. just wanted to tell you I appreciated your view on this subject.. there definetly are bigger fish to fry!! Thanks for saying it so well.

God Bless!
