School gets busted for Burqas

I didn't say that I do or don't believe in witchcraft.

Actually, you did.

I don't have an opinion on it. This world is full of strange phenomena.

LOOK! LOOK! You did it again! If you cannot say that you believe in it then you, by definition, do not believe in it. That is not to say that you believe that witchcraft does not exist, only that you do not believe that it does.

As for zombies and lichs, I don't believe in those.

If you believe the Jesus story, and I admit that I'm assuming that you do and are Christian, than you do believe in lichs and zombies.

I know you are probably going to try to dismantle the Bible. Have fun. There are many questions I have about it myself. That doesn't make it less important to me.

Not intending on dismantling the bible at all. Just demonstrating that the claim that belief in witchcraft among Christians is either "traditional", making your argument about Racr's source invalid, or it's not "traditional" and Christians only pick and choose what to believe out of the bible as it explicitly speaks of witches and sorcerers, both of whom practice witchcraft.

I do wonder why you would find book so important that you would stake your life on it's instructions, yet do not even trust what's in it... That is, however, outside the scope of this thread.

So, you don't trust the bible enough to believe in witchcraft, but you'll trust it enough to believe in lichs and zombies?

So your response is the same then, because they're two different questions?

What the fuck are you talking about? He asked if I believe in Witchcraft.

Nevermind. I was reading the thread on my phone as I was walking to lunch. I didn't see the second question until just now.

lol.

I believe in witchcraft. Still exists. Still have fortune tellers and astrologers so I'll be up front and say I believe in it

Yet another reason why nobody takes you seriously.

I undertand. As i was typing my response i figured i would get sort of reply. A christian would say that you can believe what you feel. As for a muslim, it may be a different story.

You've just summarized my view of Christianity.

I've never given it a lot of thought. It may exist, but have never seen it.
