I agree with tonks26, Christians are not the only ones on the whole "good vs. evil" schtick. In many cultures and religions, there are symbols of good things, and those things also have an evil/bad counterpart. There is a balance to all things, whether you are religious or not. I was baptized, raised Christian, I celebrate Christmas as Yule or Winter Solstice, but I am not Christian. And, going off on a slight tangent, Christianity celebrates a lot of things that were originally pagan ideas: Jack-o-lanterns, Christmas trees, the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs. So to debate whether Harry Potter is Christian or not is irrelevant, because Christians celebrate holidays that would, by some, be considered very 'un-Christian like' if they knew it was based on paganism/witchcraft. For anyone to condemn Harry Potter and/or witchcraft is ludicrous, because they themselves are guilty of what they charge...Sorry, I get a bit fired up about prejudice. I love everyone, and I say do as you wish, harming none.
So to get out of your hair, now, I agree with Marcella_Riddle, Mikaela, tonks26, Madame_Tonks, and Riiya |
