witchcraft really?

[yoshirama]

I was on another forum recently and the subject of witchcraft came up. One user said they wanted to curse someone using witchcraft. A christian user commented and told them not to because witch craft is against Christianity. I asked him if he really believed in witchcraft and he said witch craft is very real and it upsets god. I said you do realise that harry potter is fictional?.... no reply.

So christians on this forum do you believe in witchcraft and cursing people?

You know you could have the decency to actually phrase an intelligent question.

People make two mistakes - either they mix-up witchcraft with psychic abilities or they mix it up with the "Harry Potter" fictional model of more-or-less "real magic".

Go read a book, and then come back and ask your question when you want to ask about witchcraft- not psychics- not magicians.

You did not answer do you believe that witchcraft is real?

Phrasing a question in a manner YOU don't happen to like hardly makes yoshirama indecent.

People make a lot more than 'two mistakes', mate. For example, they often make the mistake of completely missing the point of the question asked them.

Go read a book, and then come back and ask your question when you want to ask about witchcraft- not psychics- not magicians.

Perhaps you should read one as well. Historically, people accused of witchcraft had the specific charge of 'cursing' leveled against them - cursing people, crops, livestock, etc.

With that in mind, any chance you could get up of the Anglican side off your arse and answer the question?

Why don't you shove it up your arse?

As I said, I'm not going to answer such a poorly constructed question - that's simply like asking "hey are religions good or bad" - hmm, which ones?

Here I will provide you with scientific evidence that prayer is effective in a randomized double-blind study conducted in the 90's:



The largest and most reliable scientific study on said matter.

Aractus,
The construction of the original question wasn't poor. Your assumption that yoshirama's intended meaning of the word witchcraft only fits two narrow definitions with which you take issue is absolutely absurd.

Prayer study: You either don't know what retroactive means or fail to see the obvious problem with praying in 2000 for people that had been discharged from hospital or died between 1990 and 1996.

Are you having a bad day?

Not nearly enough room.

There was nothing wrong with the construction of the question. Complaining about it is like complaining about the question, 'Are all trees made of wood?' with the reply 'But are you talking about pine trees or shoe trees?'

Here's another http://www.ahjonline.com/article/PIIS000...6/abstract Chew on that.

But back to our muttons. If you think that intercessory prayer works when applied by Judeo-Christians, why wouldn't you think curses work when applied by witches?

The getout response is normally witchcraft means something different than you think it does, without actually specifying what it does mean. At the same time they imply you are stupid because you don't know their definition of it.

God doesn't like it though, even though he supposedly created it and gave humans the ability to use it. Then again it would neglect our free will if we couldn't use it.

I sense great potential in this derail.
