I can't belive I'm still arguing in this thread, but I'm known for my opinionated way of thinking. So, here we go:<P>I've seen alot of posts from someone (not naming any names) about some of us being afraid of Christianity, or whatever that was about. All I can say is, why can't you be happy knowing you'll go to your paradise after death and we will be happy just turning into grass? I mean, I don't want to say this, but why can't so many Christains get the fact that they're will ALWAYS be other religions? Why can't you co-exist with them? Why must you try to convert us?<P>And on the Harry Potter/Bible thing: In NO WAY does Harry Potter teach anything about religion. Like I've said before, the only reference to ANY religion is in book 3, when the kids are studying demons known as Red Caps: The only way to defeat them is to recite a verse from the bible. The books don't teach anything about occult or anything like that. YES, the spells, ingredients and creatures come from mythology and religions, but they come from a million sources! Druidic wands, Persian clairvoyance, in NO way does it teach kids to follow a religion! The bible does.<P>Okay, I'm shutting up, this thread IS getting ridiculous. I just need to say what I need to say. And I'll also say that Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are two 100% different works of art. Harry Potter is more for kids to relate to. Lord of the Rings is a classic romantic fantasy, and BOTH will have a place in my heart. And I'd also like to say that in no way do I hate Christianity just because I'm pagan. Wiccans teach acceptance of every religion.
