The protestant Church I grew up in was very strict, so much so that Irish and Dawns opinion on this topic reminds me of many of the elder members of the Church.
They believed that if the new testament did not talk about it, then don’t do it. Such as musical instruments in the Church. They didn’t even allow them for weddings. No radios or anything.
When I became a young teenager and we had our first school dance, my mother noticed that I was acting a little strange. When she approached me about it, I told her about the dance but I was afraid to ask her about it because I didn’t want the people at Church find out that I had been dancing with a girl.
These were decent people, just religiously strict people. So much so I was afraid to ask my own mother if I could attend a dance.
Me and the other children there went to Church camp almost every single year. Most of us attended services twice a day on Sunday and Wednesday nights.
I don’t know of any of my young friends that still go to that Church, which is very popular in the mid-west. Some of them turned to drugs and partying, others lead decent lives but do not go to Church at all.
Irish, your opinion on these books is absolutely fine. But you should be careful how you project your opinion, because it could do more harm than the HP books ever will.
Otherwise you will just sell more HP books.
It’s like telling a child not to put their finger in the light socket, many of them will do it anyway.
