His name is David Benoit:<br /><br />http://www.gloryministries.com/<br /><br />Apparently, he believes Harry Potter is the path for kids onto what he calls the "Heathen Highway." I know he's not alone in that idea, but "Heathen Highway"?Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-34316750162173779202014-02-13T23:40:41.461-05:002014-02-13T23:40:41.461-05:00You weren't "missing" anything.
