What on earth is scary about being a Christian? You may be assuming that being a church member implies some other "defect" (though I can't imagine what), but living in a Christian society shouldn't be keeping you awake at night.
agreed!

Well take a look at this link - I had been wondering where those pop-ups were coming from......

Also, I wonder about the threat from pagan Druids - of course the Archbishop of Canterbury is one. A demonic plot to take over the C of E?

What, do you mean to imply that Abraham didn't father Isaac at the sprightly age of 937 or whatever it was?

And if wizards are demons, should children be exposed to such authors as J.K. Rowling who are obviously doing the devil's work?

You are right, it does not keep me awake at night. I have nothing against Christians or anyone else for that matter who regularly go to church. What I do find disturbing are the hypocritical religious zealouts in this country. For instance the originator of the post I was answering.

One would assume that if an entity is a witch, wizard or demon, they are NOT people...

Why do you seem to know so many of these types anyway? Part of the crowd at whatever fanatical church you belong to (I have no doubt at your church there are plenty of demons!)?

Yeah, but they all get cast out at the services and have to be picked up outside the back door at taxpayer expense.
