1 | On Harry Potter? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 21294 | ||
Different Perspective.......................... Greetings Lizzie! With all due respect to my friend Ed, I have a slightly different perspective. Fictional books create fantasy worlds for fun. I have been an avid reader since I was about 5 years old (yes, I started early). I love to read Sci-Fi and fantasy books. The theology of these kinds of books runs the gamut from fairly reasonable to absurd. However, I never read these books to deveolop my view of God or the world. They were simply entertainment. Thus, my view is that there is a difference between practicing withcraft and reading books that include withcraft. I don't beieve in vampires, but I love to read about them. I don't believe in aliens, but they are fun to read about. So, I don't getting concerned about things like Harry Potter. I view it as harmless entertainment. My son, who is 11, loves the series. However, he is fully aware that it is just fiction. In fact, we even talk about the differences between fiction and the Bible. Having said this though, I do believe that it is up to each parent to make that sort of decision for themselves. I would never say that you had to let your daughter read Harry Potter. It is just my opinion that she wouldn't become a witch simply because she read about one! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
