What is the Difference between Harry Potter books and The Chronicals of Narnia.... (65)
jbibiza: What is the Difference between Harry Potter books and The Chronicles of Narnia.... from a Christian point of view?
I was shocked the first time I heard churches banning the Harry Potter books.... while they have always supported The Chronicles of Narnia. Both series of books deal with magic and the ongoing battles of good vs evil.
Anyone care to shed some light on this?

Some church people should get a life!! Of course most of them do it to get personal publicity....which is not very Christian in my view!

The Chronicles of Narnia, were written by C.S. Lewis- A Christian writer
Harry Potter, written By J.K. Rowling- A Agnostic
The Golden Compass, was written by Philip Pullman- A Athiest
Lewis promotes belief in God
Rowling takes no stand
Pullman denies there is a God
That is the abridged explanation!

So does that mean they can deal with the same things as long as they're a Christian author then????

Yes. For Republicans a presidential action is good if it is done by a Republican President and bad if it is done by a Democrat. Life is simple really

Cs Lewis used the Bible as a template for his work, it is an allegorical translation of the message within the Bible therefore is accepted by the religious hordes.
A much better book by him is the Screwtape Letters...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Makes sense to me...Yep let's ban all books so nobody can read them for a select few...I always thought it was just as easy to not pick up the book and read it....

Any book worth burning or banning is a book worth reading... at least once.

I think a lot of people try to make it a religious issue. I don't. What I see is three different opinions and or perspectives on the same subject matter.

Hollyweird is run by the Jews didn't ya know and they only got as far in the Bible as the Old Testament... they never bothered to read the part where it says... do not readeth the works, watcheth the films, or listeneth to the words or stories of those not deeply in the shadow of an approved church (see end of book for list of applicable tabernacles)...

Basically the chronicles are ok because they are based on the parts of the bible , and Harry potter is not because it is said that it encourages witchcraft ,
What it boils down to is , people magic is bad in case people copy it , but anything like unicorns doing magic is ok ,
