    They are good kids books - the films are beautifully crafted. The writing style is a little too bogged down sometimes for my taste though.

    As a wise Jew, back in the early 1930s, replied when asked why he was leaving Germany "they are burning books - people usually follow the books"

    Mainstream Christianity does not have a problem with Harry Potter - just the ones living on the edge.

    Their talk of "spiritual bondage" and the horrors of magic does my head in.

    Take a visit to our Mall any Saturday and you will realise that 'up here' you have to get stoned before commiting adultery. No one was using the ladies toilets until they took down the sign 'No dogs allowed'.

    I know that, however it is entirely possible that the authors do actually believe what they are writing even if it's just "thinking out loud".

    I believe that paedophiles should have their genitals burned off with a blow lamp... that doesn't mean I actually think it acceptable for anyone to actually do it... if that makes sense

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    I think the link is a close relative of the Truechristian.com site I posted a whille back. A spoof set up using the most insane ideas from the more extreme christian groups.

    Vidcc is right though, some did do a book burning thing.
