See, with my Faith I chose to interpret the world around me, If I also chose to determine that the series of books about Harry Potter teaches things which I find contrary to my Faith, I can chose to decide that my kids should not read it.

Fear does not enter into the equation, unless of course, one has no Faith, at which point fear is a major factor, otherwise, why bring it up?

If your faith is so weak that these books threaten you then you are in fear.

This is a pointless descussion though because I detect the definite aura of a Zealot, and one cannot argue reasonably with a Zealot. Your way or the highway on this topic.

Fiction is fiction and if your children cannot tell the difference then by all means prevent them from exposure, I was taught the difference at a very early age, so I read voraciously and yet hear I am still sane, haven't murdered anyone, and I haven't engaged in witchcraft for at least a while now; no demons have manifested themselves in my life except those self created. Shakespeare contains a lot more "evils" than does the Harry Potter series, so I guess you will prevent your children from being exposed to him as well.

Oh yeah and don't send your kids to colleges that have Satanic mascots either...they might get possessed...Wake Forest-Demon Deacons, Duke-Blue Devils, Mississippi Valley State-Delta Devils, Arizona State-Sun Devils

One more thing, better keep them out of the Marines too, one of their nicknames is "Devil Dogs." I guess they're all corrupted as well.

What utter piffle.
