I admit ... I haven't read them "I hate that TV show...I've never seen it, but I hate it anyway."
And, you know what? I hate that person. I've never talked to her, but I've heard enough about her from other people that I know I wouldn't like her.
Gophack, I'm surprised at you. How can you comment on something you've not even read? Even I have read two Harry Potter books, just so I could see if they were as horrible as some of the hysterics say they are.
They aren't.
True, I haven't read them and don't care to. I've read enough excerpts and articles from respected Christians that probably would fill a Harry Potter book! When I heard about drinking the blood of the unicorn and the direct correlation to the Holy Eucharist (but in reverse), I lost all interest in reading them for curiosity sake.
I don't need to see a porn film, for example, to know that it's bad for me. I think I can pretty much criticize them without watching them.
