Have you considered that. If God created humans to have full controll over the earth, Doesnt that mean that we are able to take control of wind, fire, water, earth, animals, our destiny or even death? It could also mean that witchcraft is actually allowed because it uses nature. If so then theres no need to hide nor to be afraid. Please send me your opinion.
and also what does the phrase "dead on" mean?

Well first of all there's no such thing as a warlock, a male witch is just that a male witch. Yes Witches In tune themselves with the rhythm of nature. and yes everyone has the ability to have a certain amount of control over things. Nature is energy. and one can control a certain amount of energy within and without us. But there must be balance. I don't believe that you can control when you die, I believe that your life in ways is predestine. Our spirit is on a journey. it must learn things and pay for our actions before we can move to a higher plain of existence. Also Just because the Bible says it doesn't make it fact. Paganism is a religion that predates Christianity In fact it began as soon as people began to become spiritual beings 20,000 years ago. In the religious front Christianity is the new kid on the block. Faith is something that you believe in your heart. not what someone else believes is right. There are more non Christians then Christians in the world. I cant remember the last time a Pagan started a war. which cant be said for many others. There's nothing to fear from pagans, we are just like everyone else. Work, Have homes, kids, were Nurses, Lawyers, Computer geek's, Machinists, In retail were everywhere and you no don't have met us and not even known it. We dress like everyone else to. My favorite closes are Levis and Asics. I'm out of the closet, I don't flaunt but I don't hide. If anyone doesn't like my religious beliefs that is there problem not mine. Did anyone ever think that the powers that be what ever you believe, made us all different for a reason? and we are all spokes on the same wheel
I forgot for all you zelots out there
"WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN NOR DO WE WORSHIP ANY ENTITY KNOWN AS THE DEVIL OR SATAN" He is a Christian Ideology completely onto themselves.

We, as humans, will NEVER have full control of the Earth. For humans to have such control, means that we have violated Universal Law #1 to the fullest extent.
Universal Law #1(AKA The Wiccan Rede): An' it harm none, and do what ye will. It means than no one should influence or manipulate another's free will, for one's sake (I realize that there are more than one interpretation of this).
The greatest free will is that of the Gods. To mess with their free will could result in disaster. Don't believe me? Ask Marsyas. He made Apollo so angry that he flayed Marsyas alive, because he was foolish enough to challenge Apollo's musical ability.
As for "dead on", it just means you're right.

This is a loaded one!
I believe that we are stewards of the earth and all living things.
Some can call the elements and work with them that does not mean we control them.
Witchcraft is legal (at least in the United States) that does not mean we do not need to be afraid. Politics and religion mixing have killed many. I stay on the cautious side myself.
The phrase dead on means absolutely correct.

The Christian God may have given full control of the earth to the humans that choose to follow him. look what has happened. the planet is dieing under our cities and pollution.
I am a Celtic Pagan that has studies many religious paths. almost all pagan paths teach us to live in harmony with the land.
and animal life is just as sacred as human life. we do not take control of animals, they give their lives so that we may live.
it is the natural process. the animal knows that it is food for something else and is not angry when it's life ends because this is just the nature of things. however we should be useing all of the animal and not wasting it like so many do. i pray and honor the spirit of every animal that i consume, even if it is store bought.
however our lives are our own. and the power of Magick is ours also. the elements are largely at our command, but you should never think that you control them, because they can and will do as they will.
as far as being afrais and hideing, i have nor will i ever hide my religious beliefs. i have never been afraid.
not only do i refuse to hide, but i refuse to not be seen.

Witches, warlocks and the like are suppose to have control over SPIRITUAL stuff, if you want to go down that road of thinking.

Witchcraft is not allowed according to the Bible. You can't control death.. sorry. If this were true most would never die. You can control what decisions you make and this is called free will.

You said not to be afraid.
Well here is the truth, and I guess you have not really read into how Wicca brings people into Satan worship and how the Masons are not christian. The masonary is a form of witchcraft. Below I just left you a sample of how you are DEAD, and I mean 2ND Death, Dead wrong.
God did condemn witchcraft and all it's forms:
1 Samuel 15:23 (King James Version)
23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
2 Chronicles 33:5-8 (King James Version)
5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
6And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
7And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
Micah 5:11-13 (King James Version)
11And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
Nahum 3:3-5 (King James Version
3The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Galatians 5:19-21 (King James Version)
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
