I notice there is a definite tendancy for born again Christians to go to extremes and fail to discriminate between something that is genuinely wrong (for example, Satanism) and something which uses a different language to Christianity but at its heart is a good thing (for example, the Harry Potter books which so many conservative Christians have condemned without even reading). I suppose this is number 2. on your list above. Throwing everything out is not really practising discernment. Also, forgive me if I am wrong, but didn't Jesus go out of his way to mix with sinful people?? Interesting post.
