I'm not a religious person and

I really believe that Truth can be found in many places, and have actually given a sermon on the Harry Potter books and the New testtament. Universalists, as a general rule, embrace a wide array of beliefs, so I am not surprised they quoted Jk Rowling. I suppose I would need the quote to say any more.

This. Though, as a UU, I would note that I'm not sure even we would count Harry Potter as a "belief." ;c)

It's more of a case of "take wisdom where you find it" - so although, coincidentally, many of the quotes they've posted have been from Biblical sources, my hunch is that it's less a "Bible Thought of the Day" and more of a "Thought-Provoking Thought of the Day." The Bible just happens to have a lot of them.
