Just a clarification, not a condemnation of any sort.

Don't think its a condemnation sweetie. You are very right. Some people won't read a certain book because of their religious or moral beliefs. Like I refuse to read anything on Hitler (biography sort of stuff) and I was a history major, but he's a psycho (and I'm 1/2 German too).
But getting back to the point, it's your choice. And no one should force you to read something you don't want to read, especially if it is something that differs from your religious beliefs. Those are your beliefs.
a little mini hijack on that: It only goes to far when school boards start insisting that their beliefs of children not reading books like Harry Potter are going too far. A school board should not be pushing their beliefs onto hundreds of thousands of students or their parents. End mini hijack.
