Subject: On Harry Potter? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ed! I don't doubt that many such books are written with a purpose! My point is simply that I read fiction as fiction. I just don't believe that fiction can influence someone to change the way they live or view the world (with the possible exception of very young children). Take Star Wars for instance! He had a very definite agenda spiritually! I am not as old as some on the forum, but I remember the debates that have raged over the years about movies, books, halloween, Christimas, and music. To clarify, I would have no problem with any parent who didn't want their children to read Harry Potter. I just don't believe that fiction will cause someone to become a witch, committ a murder, or rebel against God. If they do such things, the problem lies within themselves, not a book. If my children believed Harry Potter was real, I'm sure I would take a different approach! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
