Now Siriusly Snapey Susan:
This comes up ALL THE TIME.  Can you, Kneasy, or someone else PLEASE 
enlighten me as to why this is true?  I myself have stated that I 
believe he has chosen a life which is less than truly LIVING...but I 
cannot get a handle on where people get it that either 1) Voldy is 
not a human being; or 2) Voldy is immortal.  What have I missed?

Now Siriusly Snapey Susan:
At the risk of speaking *for* Berit, I must say that I don't think 
Berit was at all making the claim that Harry is a Christian. I 
believe he was reacting to your labeling "the current outbreak of 
touchy-feely new age 'don't let's be nasty to Voldemort'" sentiment 
as "NEW AGE".  I think he was simply stating that it's not JUST New 
Agers who would like this; some Christians would also argue for or be 
comfortable with no violence, WITHOUT being classed as "New Agers".  
Quakers & Mennonites, for instance, Christian sects which each have 
long been proponents of non-violence and whose followers have, thus, 
been granted conscientious objector status during wars.
