IMHO -
that's a bunch of poopy.  People (in general) seem to slap that
whole 'non-Christian' label onto just about any old thing now-a-adays.
Seems to me they are likely forgetting what the word really means in
stead of twisting it around to suit their purposes.  Magic an monsters
and the fight against good an evil doesn't have ANYthing to do with
being non-Christian.

Reminds me of the time I stayed the weekend with my Grandparents and
they wouldn't allow my brother and I to watch the "Dungeons and
Dragon's" cartoon because it was non-christian and would pervert our
young, delicate, formative minds.  I told them that was a crock of bull
back then too.  Luckily my parents had more sense.

Is there anywhere in her books that she says "God Doesn't exist and
neither did Christ.  Worship my God instead" ?????

didn't think so.
