Magic is only real on Sundays!

[ignoramus]

So, a bunch of happy Christians go to Vegas one Saturday night to have dinner and checkout a magic show ...
They were all entertained, the magic show was amazing and a good night was had by all.

Next morning they attend a local church service.
They hadn't realised this but the minister revelled in more magic story stuff in the 1 hour standard Sunday service than in the 3 hour show the night before.

How is it that they were entertained to see a lovely, perfectly serviceable lady being cut in half in the prime of her life! And if that wasn't disgusting enough,
they also clapped as it happened! Monsters!

But somehow she survived A true miracle if you ask me. I have no idea how she was raised from the dead!
Theists, am I missing something here?
Magic is either real or it isn't? I'm confused.
Talk to me.

Well we know that the kind of magic that Moses did is comparable to the kind of tricks that the Egyptians did.

Exodus 7:8–11

Aaron’s Rod Becomes a Serpent (Viagra will fix that)

8 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’ ”

10 So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.

11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

I mean that was God's / Moses' entire plan to convince the Pharaoh to let them go and only had to resort to more magic tricks when the first lot didn't work. So much for an omniscient god. He should have known that the Egyptians had also been practising tricks from the Bumper Book of Magic Tricks for Boys.

How to properly interpret the above passage:

Moses: 'Let my people go!'

Pharaoh: 'Don't wanna.'

Moses:  'Pick a card, any card.'

Which reminds me.

And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. (Judges 1:19)

And then God's booming voice was heard from the heavens: Now I'm angry! Let's maketh it best out of three?

See I was always told at religionist school that Moses performed real magic while the Egyptians performed magic tricks. But this link argues that the Egyptians channelled the power of demons instead. Which means the christians are directly funding Satanists who use the power of their demon Lord to entertain them.

That's got to be pre-crucifixion.
