  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Any Orson Scott Card Fans?

    I love Orson Scott Card, he's one of my favorite authors. I actually met him at a book signing, he signed some of my books. It was a really cool experience.

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    A few points on the article as I'm reading it; The article seems to be objecting to some of the truly evil creatures in the "Harry Potter" universe: the dementors are evil, as is the voice of the basilisk leaving murderous threats. Mandrakes are mythological creatures-- I certainly...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    The only childish thing I can see in the pro-Potter arguments was the poster who said that all the people who hated "Harry Potter" were losers-- that was uncalled for. But, for others, it does get frustrating when the anti-Potter side keeps on saying the same things ("The books have real...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    I think what people are getting mad about isn't just your opinon, but the fact that you embrace "Lord of the Rings", which has wizards who are protagonists, and shun "Harry Potter", which has wizards who are protagonists, which I've said before. And few of you are giving reasons except-- "Lord...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    Magic is not the center of "Harry Potter" either. The center of "Harry Potter" is the characters, the storyline, the good-versus-evil and choice themes. The magic is simply a story device-- just like it is "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lord of the Rings," And since you seem to be saying...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    If you've just watched the "Harry Potter" movies I don't blame you for being bored. The movies (espicially the first two) are really annoying, in my opinion. The books are much better. As for "Lord of the Rings" being written by a Christian-- that is true, but the point wizard-boy was...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    You know, maybe this discussion should be moved over to the "Should Christians Read Harry Potter" thread, but in any case, I have two questions for anti-Potter people in this thread, if they wish to answer them: 1) Most anti-Potter people in this thread claim that there is "real witchcraft"...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    Alright, this is getting a little ridiculous. Obviously, she could be lying over and over again about how she isn't a witch, but what evidence do you have that she is? Innocent until proven guilty, after all. Without any evidence, your implication seems pretty filmsy. Couldn't I make a...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    Sources on the "JK Rowling not being a witch" issue: http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/2000/0700-swns-alfie.htm Q: Do you believe in witchcraft and have you ever done any witchcraft ? A: No. Q: What are your feelings towards the people who say your books are to do with cults...

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    I'm really sorry, I don't mean to upset you. I just wanted to set the record straight. No offense was intended, really. Sorry if I was harsh. :)

    LOTR is the spawn of satan

    JK Rowling is NOT a witch. She's said she does not believe in magic, but instead believes in God. She attends the Church of Scottland. And, as I said above, the spells in Harry Potter are Latin gibberish-- not real.
