Rev Dr Stephen Holmes has claimed that Harry Potter is Christ-like because he promotes Biblical values.
Up until now the Harry Potter series has attracted negative attention from some religious groups who see the characters and concepts as promoting witchcraft, the new view that Harry Potter is actually a Jesus-like figure is in stark contrast to those previous criticisms.
They are beloved by millions of children and adults alike, but the Harry Potter series has attracted widespread censure from fundamentalist Christians who claim the books encourage witchcraft.

I used to take my son to church, because he wanted to go,... to a church that sings from overhead projectors. Took him to bible school when he requested to go. And then he didn't want to go anymore and I didn't push him. I tell him, if he wants to go to some church, let me know and we will get it done. But he doesn't want to anymore. Becky likes to get singing in church hymns....when she comes home she would stand in front of me and sings them...and my word I know she is my kid and I love her but she hasnt a note in her...she sings like a cat caught in some barb wire LOL ohh poor child...I sti...

I have never seen a full episode of American Idol, due to the fact I cannot tolerate Simon Cowell. I also think Paula Abdul was drunk when I saw what little I did of it. It isn't just religion that has been dumbed down. Our TV shows have been too.
