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.

Blame it on the SOCK GNOMES!
If she was smart enough to read on the subject, she would be hopefully leaving the magical thinking of young children. Perhaps the fact that she does actually believe in this stuff should be a sign to get her lots of good books, maybe taking her to some enriching summer camps? Yah don't what to crush her imagination, just make sure she gets that it IS just imaginary!
BTW, not to say that she isnt reading and getting enriching summer camps, but that in any case it would be a good idea.

Ok, why is this thread so WAY off topic?! Let's discuss Harry Potter folks...personally, I found it to be much lighter, violence-wise, than any passage in the Bible. Any God who condones mass genocide, incest, rape, as well as invokes plagues of all kinds upon those who happen to worship differently from another group of people...I would doubt ANY God who is so petty and so cruel. The truth, whatever it is, will be known to each of us when we die...Faith, not pomp & circumstance, is the key to God.
And that's my final word on that subject--so let's talk about Harry, shall we?

I saw the prisoner of Azkaban. I felt like the time the doctor gave me morphine.
What I find disturbing is the human skulls and spines found throughout hogwarts, and the extreme amount of violence and the fact that if you do anything uncarefully in the land of hogwarts, you would die a grusome death.
I also feel sad for Harry's aunt, because the splatter of her corpse probably doesn't look too good.

What...the...f....are you talking about?
How do you equate being drugged with morphine to watching the movie?
What "extreme violence"?
What "human skulls & spines"?
Ever been in a human anatomy classroom, kid?
If you do things "uncarefully" (sic) in the land of the real world you can "die a gruesome death". That really doesn't take a genius, or a fiction story, to figure out.
Now you want to talk about "extreme violence" or "gruesome death"....try this one on for size. Picture two ticked off she-bears ripping apart a bunch of kids for calling someone a name...now that's scary.
K, where in tarnation did that come from? Generally, living people (albeit fiction people, but living nontheless) aren't referred to as "splattered corpses".
Love & Blessings, Cerridwen*
P.S. If Harry Potter is so blame "sinful" then what were you doing going to see it, little boy?

She gets deflated, and is fine.
This is NOT a movie with extreme violence. Believe me, I know when there's violence in a movie...I have am very peticular about the colour and consistency of stage blood (I'm in theatre). There is very little. It is a movie for those over 10 or 12, and does have elements of fantasy.
Do you realize that if you drive in an unsafe manner (uncarefully) you could die a gruesome death? I guess they should ban all movies with driving too... and grocery stores, because if a high shelf gets banged, a heavy box could fall on your head. (I'm serious- it almost happened to me) And don't show people making dinner! Fires can result!

I personally love both the Harry Potter books and Movies and don't see the problem with them. It is a movie, not reality. That said, it think it does deal with important issues like friendship and being true to yourself. And even little things like how I know a 7 year old girl whos parents died as a baby, and thanks to Harry, she feels less alone.
