I was standing behind a woman at a bookstore. As we approached the cashier she noticed the Harry Potter videos in the impulse display. She proclaimed that Harry Potter was teaching children to be evil. I asked if she had ever read or seen any Harry Potter. She got all shocked and exclaimed "Of course not!" The sheep follow the shepards fear the independence of mind that Harry Potter teaches. The ability to discern right and wrong for ourselves is the single greatest threat faced by dogmatic authoratative religion.

Why do you think it is the first story told in the bible. Eve is shown to fail because she thought for herself. She dained to assert her definition of right and wrong over God's and was made to pay.
