One side can talk about what he/she believes is family history and the other can hear a story and share information that the other didn't know about that. It isn't that hard to what if without pissing people off. One person learning, the other learning about the theoretical powers of Harry Potter.

@DragonDust I was unaware that J.K. Rowling believed her character's to be non-fictional (such a horrible analogy...haha). The world is full of intangibles. When we attack people's intangibles, whatever they may be, it shouldn't be too surprising that you get a negative response. And you aren't trying to learn from them, you are just trying to attack their beliefs, because 'you' (the royal 'you' believe that you're system is better than their system, which is just being a zealot.

@DragonDust not sure why the damn imoji popped up in there...it was unintentional.

@JohnnyThorazine That's fine . A lot of people legitimately thought her work was witchcraft. I am pretty certain she is pretty sure that she is aware that it is not and is a work of fiction. I see little difference between the religions and fantasy-fiction novels though it is less geographically locked. Some people still believe in Chinese or Greek gods. I think of that as fiction.

@DragonDust I think that is the key....we need to be aware that it is what we think...and other people have what they think...all of us are afraid to let go of this life (well, the overwhelming majority of us), and we all deal with it in different ways. What is real or not real when it comes to the intangibles is left up to individual interpretation. Hail Quetzalcoatl!...hehe

@JohnnyThorazine That is... Hilarious
