They busted her ass for reading a book. Her parents were the complete opposite when it came to her sister though. They let her do whatever she wanted. I get that they didn't want her trying to become a witch or whatever LOL but she wasn't like that at all.. she just wanted to read them because all of her friends were.

Yep, I agree.
There was the whole Satanic Panic in the 90's started by crazy and overzealous "Christians" who were so intent on pushing a very warped agenda on everyone. A lot of innocent people suffered because of that, and still do.

Honestly, how you are right now is the main reason I didn't feel my prayer would reach you and I was surprised you agreed to having me pray for you.
I should have done it anyway. Maybe if I had, things would have gotten a little better for you. I'm sorry I let you down. -

I grew up in a southern Baptist church, and the old pastor was amazing. His wife was too. When I was a kid, the pastor's wife would talk harry potter with me all the time. She even gave me a harry potter pillow (I still have it). They knew that it's just a story, and it's not anti-Christian. The new pastor there probably burns harry potter books. I dont like him. I left the church some time ago.

I'm a true blue born and bred Christian, and I love everything Harry Potter. It's fantasy and should be treated as such. It's not a guidebook on "How to become a witch/wizard".
Some "Christians" like to cherry pick when it comes to sins, but the bible says that no one sin is greater than the other.
So if watching HP or playing games related to the series is a sin, guess what? So is everything else that goes against God's commandments, which most people do without contrition.

Oooh, I just wanted to say I'm lovin' your new avatar!
And yes, I agree there's cherry picking on everything, whether it's religion or politics or whatever. I generally stay out of those discussions here, but sometimes I just get so annoyed when people rely on hearsay and don't pick up a dang book! And I'm talking other than Harry Potter or whatever version of the Bible is trending,…just basically opening one's mind up. I went to Catholic school and LOVED it!
