Outsiders, same here. Lol, lots of Christians love the HP books and don't give a hoot about what other people do. Then some Christians think the books are evil for simply having magic in them. I wasn't making fun of anyone but the second group.
We all know the bible says magic is bad, but please remember that if you're not a Christian then you don't have to follow those rules. You can be a good person and believe in "magic" if you want, no matter how dumb it is( to me ,but may be very real to the next person and power to them!)
And you can say something about it being god's laws and you'll go to hell or something like that, and it's totally cool that you think that-no problems here, but what does it really matter? I mean... no disrespect intended, but so what? If someone wants to believe in magic spells and sorcery and all that, they aren't hurting me or you are they? They are a small minority.
Outsiders, we may disagree on... everything, and sure you ruffle my feathers but I do believe that you are a good person and you do/say/vote for what you think it the best. All you can do is do what you want and what you think you should, and as long as you're happy with your religion and you decide to live for your God then that's coolio. Believe it or not, I don't hate you lol. Nor do I dislike you. I just dislike your ideology but I won't try to change it if you don't try to change mine. We both want everyone to be happy, but we have different ideas on how people should be happy. You want people to follow God and live "righteously" and I want people to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't directly harm another. I put the word righteously into quotes, not to intend disrespect, but to instead put emphases on how our ideas of that differ. You may think one thing about my lifestyle. You may think that it is one of sin and hedonism and excess, but that's fine with me. I've learned through much persecution by so-called Christians to not care what others think, and to just be. If I make another joke and it bothers or offends you, Pm me and we can talk and if you are still offended then I'll gladly remove it. Would you like be to remove it now? Just say the word.
Whew. Lol. I must be in a particularly good mood today. Maybe because Obama and Hilary have decided to run in '08? JUST pushing your buttons lol
