Biblical Discernment in Harry Potter

             The article by Reverend Raymond Kwong exposes the true form of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter. I admire this guy for having the guts to speak out to the patrons of the said literary work, a part of which was already made into a blockbuster movie. That is a hard thing to do, especially now that it has popular appeal to a wide spectrum of people. I agree that Harry Potter promotes witchcraft, occult and it may even be connected to satanic worship, but the reverend's work is based on a constipated viewpoint and it is, in fact, an overkill.

             I've also mentioned that the reverend's work is overkill, because of his, forgive the word, stupid interpretations of certain mythical figures and "occult numbers". Do 11 and 9 sound evil to you? I mean, what's this fuzz about these fancy numbers? If one book says that these numbers are associated with the Devil's work, would it be wise to conclude that, from now until eternity every literary work and any multimedia that uses these numbers very often are the wor...
