Subject: On Harry Potter? |
Bible Note: Hi, Tim; I think your approach is very balanced - both in the way you deal with Harry Potter and your refusal to try to impose your approach on other parents. When kids grow up and go out on their own, they're going to decide for themselves what they believe and where to place their faith. I've read that the majority of kids who grow up in Christian homes go through a period of questioning or outright rejection when they find themselves with the freedom to make up their own minds. I think a child who has learned how to deal with Harry Potter (or R. L. Stine or Stephen King or, for that matter, Edgar Allan Poe) will grow into an adult better able to deal with Wicca, or New Age neo-paganism, or Tibetan Buddhism. Just my .02 dollars' worth. Peach and grace, Steve |
