<<<You say: If you had been more responsible in your earlier postings, you won't have to suffer the indignities of having your inconsistencies and fallacies pointed out. So ARE you doing what you preach; afterall you seem bent on having nothing to do with anything remotely "evil." Throwing out objectionable books will hurt no one else except your wallet, and maybe the auntie at the rubbish dump (who might actually be grateful for she can sell the books for scrap paper). And if your children are still in school, better withdraw them from the secular school system lest they be exposed to horrific things such as pornographic writings and ex/anti-Christian thinking. >>>
Sorry, for your info, talking of books; no hardcore books allowed in my home and also HP books. My children are in mission schools-so they are protected from hardcore books. You have to separate what is objectionable which is relative from what is hardcore like pornography books and witchcraft books. You will know, being so well-read what is hardcore and objectionable like using of obscenities and vulgarities in the books. These types of books may breed addiction for they appeal to the lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes. These types of books are not allowed in the schools. If you are the Minister of Education, will you have done otherwise. I have no objection in reading books on other faiths for these will give me the needed knowledge to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ or interest them to discuss about Christianity. I cannot agree with you that the evil in witchcraft books like HP is remote; it is realistically real. I think we better not throw such hardcore books in the rubbish dump without first burning them for when place in wrong hands we may breed another "Jack the Ripper" or sprouting of covens. <<<You say: And you can always voice your concerns to the Minister of Education. The Government has been very open and you can get the Minister's email address from the Government website. Writing to the Minister is hardly uncouth behaviour. I'm sure he'd love to have your feedback. Same thing on the bookstores, with them carrying more and more new age and occult books. >>> This is really uncalled for because if they are objectionable they will not be allowed in schools. If you are the Minister of Education, will you do otherwise. He will not allow it in the first place; writing to the Minister is really uncalled for. Be careful that you are not deceived like the bookstore owners. Anyway they will bring in anything that sells within the law of the country for their motives is purely profits unlike Christian bookstores which sell Christian books. <<<You say: Surely, if a single Harry Potter can cause so much reaction from you, the collective enormity of what I've mentioned should worry you more! >>> It is unlike any other books; it is a book on witchcraft practice as pointed out by a former witch in Joe's posting. It is not to be taken too lightly. My Senior Pastor always says: "Worry is like moving a rocking chair; it does not get you anywhere." We do well to watch and pray! <<<You say: And no need to resort to red herrings, pornography and what not. But I can entertain you. So Harry Potter is "hardcore" huh? Whatever is "hardcore" supposed to mean. So, what makes a book "hardcore". It'd be very interesting to know. And what makes Harry Potter "hardcore"? Oh I forgot you've not read any of the books, so I guess you're not in the position to make fair comments. >>> Anything hardcore is addictive and destructive. It is better to avoid it like a plague. You can look up the comments by a former witch on HP posted by Joe. Please pray about it and don't play around with witchcraft. Don't say I didn't warn you. <<<You say: And stop trying to evade my question. Give me the relevant paragraph where "Eveline... place[d] the Bible in the same class as HP." >>> Maybe you can made yourself clearer here re your previous posting to JD.
