What are you talking about, '...end up in the gutter.' are you refering
to how nasty the posts get from time to time?

Originally posted by darvlay You've said before that Harry Potter is "of the devil" because it contains witchcraft, wizardry, ressurection, etc. How is Lord of the Rings any different?
I know lots of Christians that see both movies and own them. I don't care if they watch them just as long as there kids don't go t oschool after words and play harry potter at recess.
Originally posted by RBHILL For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. EPH 6:12.
Any chance of any of you using some of that struggle energy to do something about the rulers of dark power that hang around the White House?

Are you having a laugh?
Do you really think kids pretending to be witches and warlocks and the like is a threat from the depths of Hell?
Come on- Lighten up and have yourself a cup of tea!
I think the inherent evil in Harry potter is that grown individuals seem to think it's ok to read children's literature to themselves in public. These have clearly been perverted by the Evil One.:'(

Are you serious?!
Playing Harry Potter constitutes sin? Is your faith in your Almighty God so
weak that when kids pretend they can cast spells you think that they might
be tempted to evil? You have that little trust in your fellow Christians' ability
to raise their kids with 'proper' values?
I really hope you are sterile, RBHILL. Any kids you would have would be even
more screwed up than you.

You've never read nor seen the movies, but you have concluded that it sucks.
How did you reach this conclusion?

It's a childrens book. I don't have time to read childrens books. And you can't argue that it is not a childrens book when it is in the childrens section at borders.
I would rather listen to Lord of the Rings on tape or the Hobbit. And the seven books of Narnia but I haven't got them on tape yet.

Now, I now ways to make children smart.
Have you heard to play classical music to a child in the womb using headphone.
Speaking of sterile. The Doctors told my ex-girlfriends dad he would never have children. And though prayer he had two. So therefore I know that Prayer works.

Have you considered that maybe the Doctor's diagnosis was incorrect? He is only human, after all. Did he get a second opinion?
