<<I was reading this book I have recently purchased out of curiosity, titled
"Harry Potter and the Bible".  I don't have the authour handy, as I have
lent the book to a friend.  But my point is that I was TOTALLY APPALLED by
the opinions put forth in this book...<snip> >>

A while back, we had a brief and fiery discussion with Richard Abanes, the
author of Harry Potter and The Bible, and for a while after that he remained
a member of the list (I think he has unsubbed now).  If any recent joiners
are interested in what was said, you will find some colourful posts in the
archives by searching on "rabanesss"  - part of the author's e-mail
address - or reading the thread, from #17513 onwards. I warn you: in places,
it ain't pretty...

Also of interest is a full and excellent critique of the book, among several
others, on Amazon.com, written by Penny Linsenmayer (owner of this list).

ADMIN NOTE

The mod squad would like to remind everyone to respect the diversity of this
list and avoid making comments referring to "bible thumpers" or similar
comments that paint any religious group with a broad brush.  Whilst the
intention in making such comments may be to refer to those who are more
extreme in their views on Harry Potter, they could easily offend those of
less extreme opinion.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Neil
