Christians/Theists... why is it that ya'll think Harry Potter "bad"

[JuliaL]

Are you claiming that all instances of sorcery outside the bibble are fiction?

where did i say that, or rather what did I say to make you assume that? I said every example being presented was fiction, that the bible gave/gives examples, and the examples given are not of the cartoon vareity being referenced by you all.

Again sorcery is an attempt to petition Spirits,demons or satan himself through ritual and or potions/chemical means to acheave a desired effect. in an attempt to bypass the provaunaunce of God/God's will.

It is the intention to bypass God and petition another source of power through whatever means that what makes sorcery, sorcery. not the acts themselves.

Sorcery is petitioning essentially the devil for a favor now for something else later.. lest you think he is satasified with chicken feet and incense.

I'm just trying to pin you down on what this 'sorcery' thing is that is being proscribed.
Is it currently extant? Is it natural or supernatural or both.
If it has extension into our reality, where is it?
I think JREF is willing to give you a $million if you can show it does.
If you won't collect the money, will you tell me how so I can? I'm willing to take the risk of condemning my immortal soul for a cool mil.
