Reader I meant to post my comment to this post.
"Is this in response to something specific? Or are you going to say your usual *everyone knows...* stuff that makes me want to find a machete?"
I actually hadn't read what you had written afterword. And you were correct. I should have read what I had posted to.
Now personally I do not like Harr ...[text shortened]... inion on the" Davinci code". I have no interest in it what so ever.
The King has spoken.
I see a difference between writing about something and promoting something. I don't think those books promote witchcraft any more than Go Ask Alice promoted drug usage. They are a part of the tale, but it isn't an advertisement. There are no flying brooms, portkeys, etc. There are people who believe they are witches or wizards or warlocks or whatever the correct term is, but they don't take the books as a documentary or promotion either, as far as I know.
And there is quite a collection of books in my classroom that include the word God or the concept of Christianity, just as there are books with or about characters who are Jewish, and one about a boy who is Muslim (those are a bit harder to find). I teach about other religions and holidays (besides ours -- my students' and mine) because I think it's important to know that there are many beliefs.
If an atheist is offended by my beliefs, that's his or her problem, not mine. I got enough flak from my family to not care what strangers think.
Question for you: Do you believe that a television program with a gay couple promotes homosexuality?
So this black guy went to the doctors for a fertility check, and his wife waited at home patiently for his return.
At about midday, a Rolls Royce car pulls up outside the front door, and the man gets out. He's wearing a big fur coat, gold chains and rings, and has three security personel surrounding him.
"What the hell are you doing ?" asks the wife.
"If the doctor says i iz impotent, i gotta looks impotent"
