Harry and the Bible

[Roy & Wanda Mallett]

When you look back on the history of mankind and his soul searching of the perfect religion, have you ever notice that what ever is popular at the time, there is always one who has to find a fault with it. Many of the religious leaders don't want to mention that there is no scripture in the Bible naming only one specific religion. It mentions when two or more gather in my name to worship. I went through a time of religion searching and had Bible studies. They all want to say they are the one true religion! So when I read or hear about all these groups wanting to ban this and ban that, they all should look back through the history books and see all that was done for THEIR religion. All the wars and fighting over land, even today over land! To pick on a series of great reading for all ages, especially in our home, shows me that these groups want to show how powerful and controlling they want to be. Reminds of what happen during the 1940's in Europe with the book burning then. Then during the time when John Lennon made the statement about how their group were more popular than Jesus! Well he told no lie there! Then all the Beatle records, books, anything Beatle was publicly burned! I didn't go along with that at all. My mother was so shocked by the statement but had to admit it was true. So now we have a new group of religious fanatics, who think that anybody who is crazy about Harry Potter Books is or should be from another planet. I am really upset when someone tries to tell me what to read and not to read and just put down what they don't like! Well if they don't like it why did they read all four books to get points out of them to try and make their point seem to be the right one? My Aunt who lives in San Antonio sent me a long letter from some religious nut, my choice of word, that condemned everything Harry Potter! The man read all the books! I live in a country where I can choose what to read and enjoy doing it too. Dave and Penny you have a great group! We all come from all walks of life and love Harry Potter! I may not express myself enough on all the great topics on the list. But all this book banning, burning, and that N.S. person really makes me upset! So to all of you out there in this group, you are all the best people I love as friends. I read all the posts and it is so much fun to read all of the different POV's! You make my muggle world a better place! 
but I had to get this out there because it isn't right what is happening and Dave and Penny keep up all the great work along with all the other moderators too.
I am really proud to be a member of this group and no one can change my mind about anything Harry Potter.
