I find it very hard to understand how otherwise Christian parents would choose to expose their kids to something that is in opposition to Gods word..But I have given up on quoting scripture..too many that are bilnd and deaf..

My Pastor quoted that Sunday I will ask him his source

Thank you; I assure you I was not trying to make fun of you or cast doubt on your truthfulness. I am astonished myself that many otherwise sensible adults would see demons behind a simple fairy tale. But then, there are Christians who see Satanism in the Chronicles of Narnia - not that the average Potter-hater is that loopy, certainly not you.

I think we can agree to disagree on this matter, and do it cordially, though I doubt you'll stop quoting your sources to me any more than I would quit countering your arguments as best I can. I am certain that you did a wonderful job raising your kids and that they are valuable members of society, and that they did indeed survive without Harry Potter. I am equally certain that neither I nor any of my siblings have been at all interested in the occult since reading Harry Potter. On the contrary, I have reread Tolkien and Lewis, as well as Rowling's true sources - Greek myth, Arthurian legend, and popular culture.

But then, I do not have a problem with role-playing games, science fiction, anime, or Star Wars movies, all of which have been condemned by various Christian organizations at some point or another. I think time will bear out my point of view, but if I'm wrong, I apologize in advance.

Thank you for responding to my post so courteously.
