The Episcopalian church on the corner near me runs a series of indoctrination camps for kids in the summer and one year they focused on Harry Potter as their theme. They did Star Wars this summer. They're taking these books and movies and somehow turning them into Christian allegories. Weird. Mind you, they also have a labyrinth and invite everyone to come and walk the labyrinth. Walking the labyrinth is a specifically Pagan ritual. Of course, I live in "Pagan Central" (the Bay Area, California) so maybe they're just trying to be "inclusive" to attract as many sheep, er, believers as possible? :) As for the panic-mongering around movies, yes, there are Christians - usually the fundies, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread - who get up in arms about anything that might be taken as a knock on Christianity in any way (incidentally, we know America has a lot of fundamental Christians and we - the general public - are smart enough to decry them, but somehow many Americans seem unable to recognize fundies-as-a-vocal-minority when they see them overseas in Islamic countries). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247452 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
