No.Limberger responds:

Chances are that if a Christian believes that something is satanic, there
is a high likelihood that the Christian will avoid contact with the thing.

Your encounter doesn't surprise me.  There are probably churches to this
day that preach against Harry Potter even though those who preach against it
have probably never bothered to read any of the books for themselves for the
very reason (or excuse) that I cited above.  Also, by remaining ignorant of
the
books' contents, they can continue to use them as something to preach
against.
