Hoo wee! Not just a double post but a triple post! Now there's somethin' y'don' see ever'day! On the "gay hobbit" issue: *grumbles* Stupid emotional constipation... People who think the hobbits are gay should not watch foreign films then. "Kabbi Kushi, Kabbi Gahm (Sometimes Happy, Sometimes Sad)",(great musical made in India), would give them all massive heart attacks. On cirtics: People who get paid to be opinionated should be ignored. Besides, I've yet to see a critic who can descern the good from the bad.On Harry Potter and Christians: This issue shouldn't even be debated. For the most part, the books are harmless; Christians are just making themselves look worse by arguing about this. And Tolkien is far less "satanic" than HP, anyways. Just because there's a wizard in a story doesn't mean it's evil! And I've read plenty of stories with God in them that make HP look like a walk in the park! (Note: these stories usually are either profaning God's name or making Him out to be what He most certainly is not.)I could go on and on about all this...In short: it's amazing the lengths some people will go to be stupid.
