Of course there's Harry Potter, but I'm betting that movies, talkies, radio, TV, color TV, MTV, phonographs, records, cassettes, CD's, DVD's, video games, hula-hoops and pogo-sticks have all been labeled "the work of the devil" by loudmouth Christian Fundamentalists at some point. Pretty much anything that's more fun to do on Sunday makes 'em mad.

I'm a Christian. I don't personally watch harry potter, but i'm not going to be hateful of people i do. I watch movies, tv and dvd's. I listen to cd's and play video games. and hula hoops and pogo sticks?
i don't know why you guys are so sure you've got us figured out. no Christian i know has ever considered any of that evil. Grow up.

You have some funny views about Christians. Apart from my morals and values (and maybe not!) I am just the same as you - well I do think MTV has gone too far these days! Might as well be watching a porn flick!

And because a few fundamentalists labeled them as such then surely all fundamentalists must do so as well. There's a word for this: "stereotyping".

-Not quite right...
Me thinks you to be more "close-minded" a fool, than you ASSume 'Them'(Christians) to be....

You bet wrong, little boy.
Although I am not a fundamentalist, some of my friends are.
NONE of them reject the items on your little list.
You have no clue.

Because church is very profitable business and Christians are customers--for life!
How long would you stay in business if your customers started leaving?

actually, i dislike some popular new entertainment because it's stupid. that has more to do with how i like to spend my time than with my faith.

it's not that it's competition, it's that it promotes ideals that Christians don't support and stand for
