I am really "spellbound" by your arguments and counter arguments. I think there is no end to all these arguments and counter arguments. There will continually be arguments and counter arguments; both sides can come up with convincing proofs and analogies(like Monopoly game) to support their arguments.
And I don't think it is a nice feeling to be taken off this forum if it gets "hardcore". As JD puts it, real Christians hate what God hates. Let me reiterate this: Let the Holy Bible be the judge or the standard to judge all other books. A case in point is a recent article in the Straits Times which highlighted the immoral request of a terminally cancer-stricken 15 year old boy to lose his virginity and the psychologist's approval for such a therapeutic treatment without the parental consent which he likens it to a trip to Disneyland. Do you see the problem here and the flawed thinking: The end justify the means. Do you see it: The end(to make the boy happy) and the means(losing his virginity by a prostitute). I shudder to think of the consequences. And you say it is OK to categorise HP books in the same class of fantasy and adventure books. Truly "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked". How can anyone know evil from good; right from wrong? Is it through human arguments and reasoning? Far be from it, let the plain Word of God be the judge. We need to awake and be delivered from the ideas that there are "good" witches(Daniel Eaton's) and "doing the wrong thing for the right reason(Connie Neal's)," lest we are ensnared by the devil's trap and come to grieve. If he says there are good witches when it is positively portrayed, can we extrapolate that he means witchcraft is good when it is positively portrayed. So you need deliverance? Please pray. Btw, you don't have to take Daniel Eaton's arguments seriously for they are pretend arguments or pretending to be arguments like the money used in Monopoly (to borrow his analogy). May the Lord have mercy on us,
