Harry Potter

[Guest Bro David™]

Firstly, no, I don't attack people who disagree with me.  I was simply making the point that people would not be so quick to attack you if you cite your sources.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have never been attacked, I was just told that they do not need to impress me but no I have never been attacked atleast for the Last incident which resulted in a string of apologies.

The italicized portion of the post I quoted above is a cut-n-paste from the following website: http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/MovieMagic.htm

You did not cite the source, which means that a reader can (and probably will) attribute these words to you.  That gives someone with an opposing viewpoint to use against you.  Are you willing to defend the words of a person whom you do not know?  better to cite the source and say, "I agree with the following..."  And explain why you agree with it.

My dear Friend, that is a dialogue from Harry Potter the movie the first line is mine.

Should I quote the script writer ?

I have no need to cite unless I am taking of the own writting of the Website.

This here is the dialogue.

So back to Harry Porter:

I hate when people tell me I am wrong or critisize me for my beliefs/opinions but I try and respect opinions of others BECAUSE I have my own.

How can you recieve correction when you are wrong if you hate i when somebody tells you you're wrong?

I'm not saying you're wrong but you do have to keep an open mind to a certain degree

Gerioke,

I can hate something and still accept correction as I do. I can leash out anger and then calm down and appologize as I do. I am not sure what you are getting at? Why don't youexplain to me.

Has anyone criticized you in this thread, Constant?

I don't remember criticizing anyone. All I want is for everyone to understand the danger of these books and what the scripture says about it, and do what's best for their soul. That's all.

I never stated in this thread just in general.

Somebody should put togther a childrens book that has the pizzaz of some of these secular books but uses the Holy Spirit and Jesus instead of magic and superman. The bible is edifying but kids are looking for entertainment. Even I would watch more christian movies if they took some creative license without distorting biblical facts.

How about a super hero who prays and has supernatural giftings from the holy spirit?

Dave,

I disagree with your last comment. But let's just leave it at that. I don't wish to argue with you over proper citation. I only wanted to make the point that it's better to be safe than sorry.

As far as Harry Potter goes I've pretty much already stated my opinion. Parents should be responsible for being parents. In the long-run: "...Let each be fully pursuaded in his own mind." (Rom. 14:5)

Sounds to me like yer sayin "don't say nothin unless you agree with me" I'm sorry if I sounded like I was getting at something. I feel like I'm being chastised for my honesty.

Sorry I said anything

You mean like: http://www.fecundity.com/pmagnus/godman.html (Older posters will remember a certain person here that went by that very nickname, lol.)?

Can you imagine the number of complaints from the Christian community alone?

Am I a beast or something? I feel like I am offending alot of people today. You all can disagree with me if you want to and I can hate it but I always try to keep that open mind you tell me I need. I critisize people or try to correct them when they are wrong. Where in my post did I state, Agree with me or else. I never did. I simply stated basically that when I voice my opinion, I hate when someone says I am wrong or pick at it. It can be about anything. Anyone would hate it. But, I do respect their opinions even if I hate it.

See?
