    If you were to destroy all literature and 1000 years from now a Harry Potter book was found, he would be the new Jesus Christ. That's just how people are. They need to know that they are the center of things and that there is something waiting for them after death so that they don't lose all hope in life. Without that, the weak minded will fail.
    Even if you did destroy all literature, there is no record to verify that Harry Potter ever existed. Even so, it is natural for people to question the world around them and when science can not prove anything as factual, they rule it out.

    In contrast, many of the biblical historic events have been proven and accounted for by various authors of different cultures. The Ark was founded in the mountains of Turkey, documented by several cultures and religions. Different cultures have similar accounts of the life of Moses. List goes on and on....

    But IF all literature was destroyed... not sure what would happen... no Bill of Rights or Doc of Independence... no more laws to bind us... no more Shakespear or even Playboy/Hustler... that would be an interesting movie... Lets just hope everything gets scanned and filed in a computer somewhere hehe.

    By dammit, I like you buddy. Even though we are on opposite sides of the whole science/spiritual thing, you are a good debater. Almost a Masterdebater. HA.
