I promise, my intent here is certainly not to piss anyone off or beat 
a dead horse even deader.  I really am interested in other folks 
views on the subject.  

I just finished reading the first chapter of the second part of the 
book and oddly enough, only found 2 or 3 references to HP.  Although 
I did learn about Satanism.  One thing I would like to mention about 
Mr. Abanes is he does leave out the things it seems he does not want 
people reading his book to realize.  Things like the fact that for 
the most part, Pagans do not believe in Satan (or any other 
embodiment of evil).  He seems to have lumped us all together.

A question for Christians and Pagans alike, do you feel that the HP 
series makes people do bad things?  Do you tink people really are 
more likely to become involved with a "cult" after reading HP?

p.s.  I'm a Pagan, who was once a Christian, who became quite 
dilliusioned by the hypocrisy she saw among her "friends" and those 
in her community who said they were acting according to the bible.  
That is not a cut on Christianity, just my personal experience.
