Ugh. That site, while amusing, is also embarassing. That type of site 
drives me nuts -- it's so ridiculous. The only one of the books that 
I can see any reasonable Christian -- or person of any religion -- 
even remotely having a problem with is GoF. My dad read it and had 
little twinge of uncomfortableness because he said that the Wormtail-
hand, Flesh-Blood-Bone thing had a few resonances of sacrifice.

Oh well. It's the bad guys, right? The good guys NEVER do anything 
like that (all I thought about it was, "Good grief, that's creepy and 
I wish I hadn't read it at midnight in a nearly-empty house on a half-
deserted lake" -- no joke, that's really where I read it, and boy, 
did I regret i!). And frankly, if kids had a little power (as this 
guy seemed so dead set against), the world might be a better place. 
Milk and cookies and an afternoon nap for everyone, and we'd all be a 
lot happier.

Stacy (who had no idea that using her mind's eye to picture something 
and then write about it was against Christianity . . .)
