Satanic connection to Harry Potter? Pah! (Creator, tradition, choice, churches)

There is nothing remotly satanic about those books although they did have to create an enemy out of an outcast black magician.
She uses much Hermetic and other philosophical bits behind the early science/natural magic theme- just as hermetic stuff and other mystcal philosophy is behind the BIble, she makes a wonderful fantasie world for children, and in the process, exposes natural magic for what it is....a child's fantasie world? mabye there is more to it than that. I can't believe people sometimes

FFH, that is ridiculous. I could as well say that Lord of the Rings is sorcery because it has wizards in it.

Trying to prove something with a Bible code and 'tell the future' in anyway is pretty sketchy and actually frowned upon in the LDS church (but whatever mows your lawn I guess).

Obviously you've actually never takent the time yourself to see if they wre actually Satanic. If they were as your fear Satanic, they Church would say not to read it, they've done it with other books. Stop worrying, relax and read them.

They have a great story and all they are, are FICTION.

Get a grip man.

this is a "discuss individual religions" forum, where members of other religions can ask respectful questions and read the replies. not the place for biblical codes and implications about "fantasy" religions.
