Occult.. it's true power source?Harry Potter and the BibleI'd certainly agree with that whole-heartedly... Not religion but Witchcraft - which does not neccessarily have a religious 'conext'/basis... I certainly wouldn't try to 'prevent' anyone from reading HP books or watching the flicks... I think it would be just plain stupid and an infringement of another's right to choose their own entertainment (so long as it is not harming another)... That said... While I don't think that anyone and everyone who watches a HP flick is going to run off and become a demon worshipping psychopath - which *rolls eyes* I've heard some (who should know better) claim - I do see the potential that a small number of the total number of viewers/readers will be influenced into thinking that magick is all fluffy, harmless bumpf... any serious practitioner of Magick will tell you there ARE dangers... *shrugs* hey! I was a pagan (on the Left Hand Path) myself... (you can read a bit more about that at my site - link in signature) Now that I am a Christian I feel that it is only right (and a responsibility to - for want of a better term) to warn ppl of the dangers in Magick (both those acknowledged by practitioners) and those defined in Scripture... the old analogy of "If someone was in a burning house would you warn them to get out?" comes in here... yeah I know it's not a 'perfect fit' but few analogies are but I think you see what I'm getting at... But preventing someone from seeing it? No... God gave us each free will... As a mod here... unless this takes a life of it's own I don't see the need... besides sometimes a meandering thread covers more ground and 'works' better than strictly 'single issue' threads... however if you want to start a thread based on it feel free... |
