I absolutely agree, alatar. Belonging to a 'denomination' and giving one's life to Christ are different things. It doesn’t actually matter which denomination you belong to, so long as you are forgiven...
Back on topic.
The Bible is, I think, banned in some places. Although, I am not sure if it is because of its message, more because it is religious. Moreover, I would not be surprised if it did get banned for its message, i.e. what Jesus says;
"Men will hate you for my name, because I preach that the world is Evil"
Harry Potter shouldn't be banned on it's anti Christian teachings. I mean, every other religious book would be banned on those terms. People should be aware of the dangers of what witchcraft is, and realise that it is a fictional story. You can't discriminate someone because they teach something different. That is not good. I have often witnessed to Muslims, firstly by finding common ground, usually the moral law, before giving them the gospel.
I fear I did get a little carried away with my previous two posts, so that I apologise for. It is something I feel passionate about. I mean, I do get rather offended by blasphemy, and it seems rampant and I have caught many Christian out, using God's name in vain.
All in all, Harry potter shouldn't be banned, but if children are buying it, they should realise that it is fictional and that the practice of witchcraft is a dangerous thing.
