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

The word 'ever' would denote a life time in this instance. If a child grows up being taught about the dangers of playing near a hot stove, and continues to do so in his 60s or 70s then the 'child' needs to be responsiable for his deeds!

Rules or rather in this instance your 'list of rules' is the teaching tool. we have been given a life time to determine whether or not we want to follow said rules, if yes we are taken to a place where the stoves are safe to touch always. if not then we get burned literally. However in this life we are exposed to things like hot stoves so we are in a position to determine for ourselves whether we want to live an eternity with them or without them.

Ah the old freewill argument. Funny thing is that the bible says we should always be like little children in the eyes of god. And I think a parent that leaves children in dangerous situations intentionally is a terrible parent, especially when said parent calls for the death of the child in the event a rule is broken. And because your god set up the rules thatbcall for death and created each person knowing which would dabble in witch craft that makes him a accessory before the fact and therefore subject to the same punishment as the perp.

Its predetermination if good hasa plan for us. regardless of our free will
