what would your estimate be on the % of christians who have read harry pot

[7th_Sephiroth]

What do you think, have more read H-Potter cover to cover than the bible

[JohnKleeb]

1. dont know

Ive read the bible more than I have Harry Potter to be really honest.

[DBoon]

2. 90%

The other 10% don't have kids (yet).

You have kids, you gotta have Harry Potter

I'd bet 90% of Christians allow their kids to celebrate Halloween in some way too.

3. probably

now contrast this to the poll i'm not only copycatting, but making a point with

[JohnKleeb]

4. ha

me and my brothers never read harry potter, my parents arent even religious btw, we're just realists in our readings.

[progmom]

5. I'm not sure I understand the point of this poll

Is Harry Potter supposedly bad for Christians?
I think I missed something.

[7th_Sephiroth]

6. it is of manny things

i saw that bible poll and asked howmanny have head this book series to contrast with that poll, and yes some of the hardcore fundies denounce harry potter as induction into witchcraft, and satanic rituals

[progmom]

11. well those hardcore fundies are just silly

:)

[7th_Sephiroth]

13. and really need to be killed in my opinion

if your willing to go to such insane levels over a book (one book in particular lead to thousands of deaths as it started a hysteria that witches existed) your better off out of the gene pool

[progmom]

18. Yikes

Dontcha think that's a little extreme?

[7th_Sephiroth]

19. i'm a darwinist

but they put safetys on everything now

[SOteric]

7. Most of the teenagers I know from church have read it, many

are addicted to purchasing the crapmerchandise marketed to them, their parents, that's another story. I know two adult men, avid readers of science fiction and phantasy who've read them all cover to cover. There are probably another dozen or so who I suspect have read parts of it and enjoyed them. Don't know anyone from our little community that objects to it.

8. i just read the books

J.K. Rowling is a pretty good writer, i'm 20 and i love the books

[onecent]

16. I'm 59 and I have read the first 4 - love them

[7th_Sephiroth]

20. gotta read #5

Dark, Verry Dark

[NYC Liberal]

9. Most, because most Christians aren't nutty fundies...

[progmom]

10. 'zactly.

:thumbsup:

[JohnKleeb]

12. yep

[Rowdyboy]

14. A huge percentage....

And their kids will still watch SpongeBob Squarepants too. The hard-core fundamentalists are given far more credence by the media than is warrented. the actual number of people who follow them is a drop in the bucket. They're just loud, persistent, and have a "bestest buddy" in the White House.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. The principal at my daughter's catholic school is addicted to Harry Potter

But then, everyone knows Catholics are going to Hell, right? :hi:

[madison2000]

17. I know some right wing Christians who love "the Matrix"

they see Christian themes but not Buddhist themes or violence.

[Bok_Tukalo]

21. If they are a reasonable cross section of the population

Few read to begin with.
