I was wondering if there where any other christian bloggers, I tried searching by typing in "christian teens." But this didn't lead me to anything, so I am posting this to all christian bloggers in hopes of mainly finding other teens like me who blog about spiritual stuff or just anything. If any of you christian teen bloggers see this post please feel free to comment and tell me that you are a christian blogger. I was also wondering if like CWO (Christian Women Online) There was a similiar thing for teens. So if there is please leave a comment to let me know!
Good-night and Godspeed!
P.S Are any teens going to Student Venture at their local highschool?

Harry Potter: Why we should stay away
Many people even christians read and watch the Harry Potter series. But yet a small percentage of us do not, I don't really care much if none christians read and watch Harry Potter but it can be a problem if christians do. I've talked to a lot of people and when I say I don';t watch or read the material peolple always ask me why and when I say its bad because a lot of people believe it everyone tells me that they view it as fantasy. But in reality even though you may say that, your still polluting your mind, see when I view this I think about the saying "you are what you eat" Basically this means that whatever you do is who you are, you hang out with a certaint group of friends sooner or later you'll become like them. This applys to movies too, one of my favorite shows smallville is on every thursday and when thursday comes around all I can think about is I hope my grandpa tapes my show, (we dont have tv anymore, too expensive) So you see I'm obsessed practically with that show and its all I think about on thursdays, I have even dreamt about the show and characters.
And when people say that they don't think of it as a fantasy well they don't realize that some people take it as real. Wicca a part of witch craft is considered a religion, and the other day I saw a post on yahoo about a man who created a school just like hogwarts(the school that Harry Potter goes to) where he teaches witchcraft and magic spells etc. Also a few years ago in church the pastor was talking to us kids about how bad Harry Potter is and a girl had the audacity to say "yeah i keep falling off the broom" let me tell you she was not kidding, she was serious.
Another thing is that by reading Harry Potter kids start accepting what the characters have to say and what goes on in their lives, for example did you know that J.K Rowling says that one of the characters in her book (Albus Dumbeldore) is really gay? I'm pretty sure a few of you christians don't like how our world is accepting people who are gay, so how can you accept your children to read books about a character who is gay? I would like to share with you a statement by Rowling about the chirstians who do not approve of her books,
"Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason." this was from the ABC website located here http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=3754341
How can you christian parents let your children read from an author who knows that her news about a gay person in her book will upsett people? Please ask your self this, and if you don't have a problem with this then thats your own agenda, but really look hard at what this can do to your children.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
