I honestly don't have the heart to click on the link and read it for myself...well, there's a heaping helping of stuff from the article, so why bother bother over what else he has to say? Besides, I know exzctly where he is coming from, which is where i broke through, thank God.
I'm a Christian...been saved since I was eight, which i personally believe was stemmed from a mystical thing that runs in the family--a God thing, obviously. A few years ago, I'd say that I agree with the article says. But one thing lead to another, and i realized, that as a lit major, walking around this world with a closed mind makes me a looser.
I was thought to be a "backslider" of sorts because i read LotR and HP. My Bible group (i;m the youngest among maried yuppies though i'm still in college) thinks HP is the opposite of Jesus Christ which i think is innocently ignorant.
*once again points at the N Gaiman quote"
Evil and Good both come from the single source. Satan has no capacity to create, and Hell is created solely for himself---it's a con to think that Satan rules hell. Evil is necessary. We can't live on earth and claim to taste all of life's flavors when all we did was to eat drink and be merry. We ought to live it abundantly---experiencing life in the greatest times to the brink of depression.
I pity people with these opinions. Thnk God they can change.
