Ah. I don't believe in them, so I guess it's hard for me to understand. But I'm sorry it worries you so.I would rather not try and never find out how Ouija and other occult things actually works. If God calls us to confront some kind of spirit, let's pray that God will empower us to do so. But never seek these kind of confrontations. Demons are powerful.

lol.
LOTR is the worst.
People seem to get obsessed with that one.
I know cos I live in the country where it was filmed.
There probably are witches and wizards hanging out on CF forums.
They would be the ones saying magic/sorcery etc is ok. I mean witches and wizards aren't only story book characters. They actually are real and highly involved in the occult.
They just appear like ordinary people but practices their witchcraft etc in secret, of course they not going to tell you off the bat.
God does teach us things but they generally actually line up with His word in the Bible, and also, he doesn't want us to go after other gods and idols and sorcery etc. Thats clear in the Bible too. Not because he doesn't want us to have knowledge or anything like that, its because we are to be singleminded for Him. All that supernatural stuff, and there is a lot thats out there, only good things can come from Him above.
When you mess with things below, thats when you get in trouble - and that's where you need discernment. If you just think all spiritual things and paranormal stuff is godly, well you have another think coming.
Lol, I was actually secretly hoping someone was going to post that as response.
Given what I have heard from friends who God redeemed out of occult involvement and from people I witnessed to who actually were dabbling in the occult, I have to say I don't believe you know what you are talking about. I'm not saying that reading Harry Potter is good or even OK. I am saying when you use that and Lord of the Rings as your point of reference, you sound like you cannot discern occultish fantasy from occult reality.There isnt much difference, I know because I did dabble in occult.
I really don't see what's interesting about actual occult practices. Especially when there's a world to pray for.Perhaps because it provides a wider spectrum of spiritual experiences?
Other than the lack of evidence, I think the rising level of the irreligious is because mainstream religions are so boring and uninspired.
I saw the effect that HP had on children who are easily led astray, like they would be totally obsessed with HP, or star wars or whatever, want to buy every single thing related to the whole franchise, and then start roleplaying (pretend) witches, wizards etc.
And they also grow out of it. You need to provide evidence that liking Harry Potter as a child leads to people dabbling in the occult when they get older, otherwise you don't have a case.
