But I also have to say ...Oh, I don't disagree. But I also have to say that the truth was accompanied by lots of prayer...my husband (at the time my boyfriend) prayed for me a lot as I was going through the growing pains of leaving liberalism behind.<br /><br />It was something I didn't know until well after the fact, either, and something that touched me so deeply it brings a tear to my eye.<br /><br />What you're seeing with Radcliffe (and a lot of the younger generation - and keep in mind I'm not that much older than Radcliffe) is the product of years of feel-good indoctrination without a jot of consideration for logic or morality. This is a failing of his parents, of a lot of parents, and of our culture as a whole. In Britain, Radcliffe and his like-minded cohorts will be in for a RUDE awakening when Islam takes over** and they have no choice or freedom to express views that offend Muslims. His career as an actor will be over, as will his residency in the UK, most likely.<br /><br />I'm frankly surprised someone from the studio doesn't tell him to hold his tongue, seeing as he's compounding the prejudice toward Harry Potter in conservative, religious circles.<br /><br />***By the way, did you see <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6034706/Swimmers-are-told-to-wear-burkinis.html" rel="nofollow">this story</a>? In the UK, public pools now have Muslim-only swim hours where anyone else who wants to swim has to dress according to Islamic custom. I can't find it, but I predicted a couple of years ago the day is coming when non-Muslim societies will be forced to conform to Islamic dress in public to avoid offending Muslims. This is just another step in that direction (and supporting what I said about Radcliffe being in for a rude awakening one of these days).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400824933822851881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-82050825054886422432009-08-17T07:08:39.611-05:002009-08-17T07:08:39.611-05:00Heresy Hunter: you're welcome!Heresy Hunter: you're welcome!chestertonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182959509678265514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-52515281225813919032009-08-17T02:43:07.037-05:002009-08-17T02:43:07.037-05:00Much of what you say is true, Amy.

But if I may be so bold, at least someone pointed certain truths out to you in your youth that made the lights come on. <br /><br />Be best form of charity that could be given to the young Mr. Radcliffe, is the open, unvarnished, sometimes very hard hitting, truth.<br /><br />He's a big boy.

Seriously.<br /><br />In fact, thanks to some rather anti-Catholic, anti-conservative professors, I was a pretty flaming liberal. Now, six years later, I'm a very conservative Catholic whose views on stuff like this have done a complete 180ยบ with my conversion.<br /><br />The saying goes, "If you're 20 and not liberal, you have no heart. If you're 30 and not conservative, you have no brain." 0r something like that...Radcliffe's definitely in the all heart, no brain phase...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400824933822851881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-21573042619998519892009-08-16T21:31:33.414-05:002009-08-16T21:31:33.414-05:00Hey, Tolkien and Lewis were English, as were a raf...Hey, Tolkien and Lewis were English, as were a raft or two of saints.
