My kids like Harry Potter. The difference is that they know it’s fiction. I got lots of life lessons from the books of Robert Heinlein and other great authors. If I started a church and called it PotterWorld and proclaimed Harry as god, most people would scoff at me. I would be ridiculed.
So imagine my dismay at being in a world where perfectly intelligent people insist that because their parents told them so that there is a God – and anyone who doesn’t believe is somehow wrong…
Seriously – I’m not against religion – people can believe anything they want – I’m against people not keeping it to themselves (They are starting to scare me). As it happens I don’t profess that Harry Potter is god, but if I did I would keep it to myself.
