On Harry Potter and witchcraft

Good letter and links here.

An honest religious thinker is like a tightrope walker. He almost looks as though he were walking on nothing but air. His support is the slenderest imaginable. And yet it really is possible to walk on it. (Wittgenstein, 1948)

Sam... Everyone who talks to you eventually figures out you're nothing but a bullshit artist and a hypocrite. (The Barefoot Bum)
