in common sense, compassion, understanding of natural phenomena, as are the human writers of the Bible. The writers obviously wanted to further their pet causes such as success in battle, suppression of women, control by religious teachers and other petty matters which would have no interest to a wise God.

Are we obeying some command? "Thou will surely die'? Are we playing follow the leader? Have we been tricked? Is there a way out? Prove your statements. I do not believe the Bible. There is no tangable proof the Bible has any credability.

The novels series is nothing but liberal propoganda and I think we should stop kids from reading them.

Groups such as the John Birch Society, whose articles are referred to by Rowling's Christianity-based opponents, have criticised her for a supposed liberal/socialist bent and for her admiration for "unrepentant socialist and death-fetishist extraordinaire" Jessica Mitford, who has been her heroine since the age of 14. "The Potter books read in places like diatribes against the modern middle class, especially whenever Harry confronts his ludicrously dysfunctional and downright abusive adopted family, the Dursleys."

Also, Rowling's portrayal of the bureaucratized Ministry of Magic and the oppressive measures taken by the ministry in the later books (like making attendance at Hogwarts School compulsory and the "registration of mudbloods" with the Ministry) is an allegory criticizing the state and goverment.

I will not let commies to poison the minds of our kids. Ban the Potter book!

My Storm

The clouds appear motionless, in the sky,
As shades of blue and gray, go by,
My mood, swings,
Like wings,
They take me to a distant place,
A sense of calm, a tranquil space,
To ease my mind...
How kind,
The gentle rain, caressed my face,
Removed the dirt (the hurt), without a trace,
To set me free...
As you can see,
The drops roll down, across my frame,
Reminding me, this is no game,
Life is for living...
Ever giving,
Simple pleasures of the heart,
A pulse in time, a refreshing start,
It's time to grow...
Let go,
Hold fast to the wind, and fly,
Be free, the thunder cries,
It rains for me...
I see... the possibility.

I know motherhood is feminine but if you think about it, its all about *giving*. When you nurture, you are giving and that is an active process. But really the yin (feminine energy) is the *receptive* passive force and its the yang (masculine energy) that is the active force.

I am looking for this book that I read in middle school. A girl who is noble sees her father killed one day and runs away. She hides as a choir boy and adventures ensue as her father's killers try to find her. That's about it, I think. Does anyone know what it's called?

This was a diffent time and different a situation. Do you think it was a necessary evil to destroy 2 cities?
Do you also think that because of this it has detered another event or worse?
