- and what of Other Things™ serious consideration of Harry Potter might provoke?
If it leads to fewer holy wars would that not devalue magic book as the vehicle for a neutral rider of a message, of meaning. Not tethered to historic or scientific facts?
Are you telling us anything more than your already demonstrated preference of opinion for magic book over Harry Potter?
Even if everyone preferred magic book to Harry Potter, but Harry Potter was the objectively better vessel by reference to neutral riding message, wouldn’t magic book still be comparatively deficient? Regardless of whether it were “god inspired”? Maybe Rowling is the more competent author. Shrugs.
Still no confirmation on the issue of your not believing in a literal....historic......scientific Christ, btw.
