Again, this all boils down to the same thing: we all have different beleifs. My purpose in writing anything in this forum is not to jam Christianity into your face. it is, rather, to let you know what I beleive and why I beleive it. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And I would like to see any of you write a book that has touched so many Children's (and adult's) hearts<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> There is a small amount of good and a large amount of bad to this statement. It is good that Children are reading. It is good that children are being educated by literature. I must admit, that is my favorite form of study--literature. While it is true, I beleive, that not all 10 year olds, after reading HP, Will go around trying to fly on broomsticks, some will get the idea that it is possible. Unfortunately, it IS possible. Through the Occult and mediums (that beleive me, are real) such things can be done. In the Bible, Saul went to a "witch" and communicated with a deceased Samuel. That's why this is dangerous. It IS real. It IS a religion. Now this is a free country. Freedom of Religion. But here's what I don't understand: Even parents nowadays can't always teach their children the Bible b/c that would be "harming the child's right to choose his/her own religion." So the Bible is kicked out of school b/c there is supposed to be "separation of church and state." the Occult is a form of church. Why is that allowed in schools? Shouldn't there be a separation of church and state? no--not when it comes to THIS church! wouldn't we be harming a child's right to choose his/her own religion? No--not when it comes to THIS religion! Do you see what I'm getting at? Christianity is the only religion being smothered. people are scared of it. do you want to know why? do you want to know why YOU are scared of it? It's because in your heart of hearts you know it's real. It's a "threat" to your beleifs, b/c unlike yours, its real. There is a Real God... a Real hope. But people don't want to be accountable to a higher being. They want to be their own gods. so they twist things around to make it fit their lifestyles. But that doesn't help. they continue searching, but unless they turn to God, they'll always be searching. These are all signs that the end is near. I'm afraid for all the people on this website who think that nothing is wrong. The end is coming. Where will YOU spend eternity?[ July 20, 2002: Message edited by: MallornLeaf ]
