I find over religious Christians worse than hair-tearing Atheists. If you take a book of fiction and compare it to your basis of beliefs, to your religion, does that sound foolish?
I'm not sure as to why Bible-Thumpers picked to hate Harry Potter instead of other books, is it becuase a British "mum" shouldn't have wealth based on a book? Or is it because Harry Potter defines a new tier of Children Fiction, that the bible will have to over-ride in order to stay the number one best selling book?
I am a Christian, I attend a First Baptist Church in my town, but I do see faults in the bible and my own religion. 1st and foremost, these itty-bitty Children Jesus Books making out the story of David and Golaith as nothing but mere loving scene. Illustrated with bright colors and smiling faces, as Golaith is struck in the forehead with a rock and dies instantly, they forget to mention that David later cuts off the Giants head to have as a trophy. I know when I was a little kid, I read these little Christian-based Children books depicting Angels as cute and fluffy beings, yet not once is there a cute and fluffy angel in the bible.
My biggest problem, is the crucifixtion of Jesus. Throughout my entire life I've read stories of how it was a glorious moment, that it is the reason why I'm a Christan, NOT ONCE did it ever depict the scene as a melancholy event!
Jesus Baby Fiction VS Harry Potter books, Harry Potter is better.
