Harry Potter: for those of you who are interested...

[olde_fashioned]

For the record, I am utterly opposed to Harry Potter and other books involving and glorifying witchcraft. THIS is a link to Doug Phillips' blog, that explains the dangers of Harry Potter much better than I ever could.

I'm going to try and keep my temper whilst writing this, though I must admit I almost fit to burst. I find your aggressive attitude towards this open forum, not to mention your willingness to pigeon-hole a person you've never met quite astoundingly offensive. Additionally, I must write that your foolish attempt at a cutting close ("I don't believe God tolerates ignorance") to be the most ridiculous part of your comment; we are all ignorant in some way or another, or do you perhaps claim to know all and everything? I am an informed judge, being a Christian monotheist and having read Harry Potter, and I say there are legitimate grounds for decrying the book. You - with your absurdist comment - have proven yourself worse then ignorant, for ignorance may be remedied. You lack common sense, and that's a burden you're going to have to carry all your life.

I wasn't directing my comments toward you.

I do realize that there are some themes in the books that conservative Christians might find offensive. However, I think that you have the right idea about actually having read the books, for there are some out there who judge without first acquainting themselves with what they are judging.

I don't believe I am worse than ignorant. I gave clear reasons, with clear proof for what I believe. I believe the ignorance stems from people here who blatantly decry all forms of Islam and creative thinking.

God isn't going to punish someone for being with a person of the same sex, or reading a book about witchcraft. I do know, however, that the majority of intelligent people look down upon those who are more likely to follow the teachings of Bob Jones than Jesus Christ.

The level of idiocy and militant Christianity on this journal is absolutely disgusting, and I am removing myself promptly before I see anymore of the Fundamentalist mentality that the rest of the world so despises.
