On Harry Potter.
Richie, like many Christian critics of the series, has not read it. (He has read the Golden Compass and liked it. Surprising, I know - a radical atheist liking atheistic propoganda written for children.)
But, he thinks that raising children with stories that are 'non-scientific' may be negative.
He goes on to talk about how raising children in a religion is 'abuse' and 'evil.'
So, Dick, do you understand that...
1) you have no basis for belief in what may can be considered 'negative'?
2) you have no basis for belief in what may be considered 'good' nor 'evil'?
and 3) you have no basis for belief in conclusions from scientific data, the scientific data itself, nor truth in general...?
That is, you have no basis for belief in those things unless you make yourself the independent standard for declaring what is true. That isn't atheism, though. It's just declaring that, well, YOU'RE God.
Whoops.
I should note, that God has said that you do know him, by the way. You're just rebelling against said knowledge.
