More people these days are looking for spirituality.
Sadly many turn to witchcraft and evil.
When my son died some years ago, although everyone knew I was a Christian, and had faith, knowing that I would see my son again because he had given his life to Jesus just days before his accident, still I had people encouraging me to go to a spiritualist. The world see it as something which brings comfort to people, but it is harmful. There is no comfort like the comfort one gets from the Lord, as we do not grieve like those who have no hope.

no. the reason why "witchraft" is evil in Christianity is due to HISTORY and CULTURE, way back to Constantinople, when the council was brought together to accept Catholicism as the religion of Rome. the council argued about what was "right" and "wrong" to the Bible, what should be kept, what should be thrown away. The Church has been doing this for AGES. Constantinople was Pagan, and they forced him to renounce his paganism and accept Chrisitanity as a religion for his people. By denouncing paganism, it led Christians to believe that this religion was "evil" and should be unacceptable.
Paganism has been around so much longer than Christianity. This does not make it evil. Just because you have been too naive and ignorant enough to fall into the traps of the Church does not mean that others will follow. the whole catholic church is corrupt. It's people like you that have ruined Catholicism. In principle, Catholicism is a great religion, which is why I used to practice it. But now it is so twisted and manipulated and concerned for only money that it isn't worth it anymore
toaism is the way to go!
you are SO uncultured and so close-minded. It's people like you that keeps the world from uniting and achieving World Peace.

Anyone who claims to speak for god is a lunatic or a schizophrenic. And all of the good and bad things you mentioned are things that humans do, not supernatural beings. Great avatar. Love the show. But it's fantasy, not reality. Some people are born without a conscience, but not most. And even most of them don't go on to do evil things. They just don't feel for others. Everyone else is simply living their lives, whether it's magical thinking, or faith, or whatever. Good and evil actions are choices people make, not outside influences. You have total control over whether you believe something or don't believe it. If you are tricked, it's not evil witchcraft since that wouldn't be real. Just like magicians are not performing magic, it's just tricks. ANd you can't heal someone by praying over them. All good and all evil on the part of humans is based entirely on good or bad CHOICES--words, deeds, behavior, etc. Not on their beliefs or fantasies or coincidences. Someone isn't good or bad because of what they think. Character is built upon the choices they make every day. Quoting from a 2000 year old book won't change this.

What is YOUR problem? You post question after question about how witchcraft and paganism are evil. Even your answers condemn us. I've never met an 'evil' witch, all the ones I've met are really good people. Although, I've met many 'evil' Christians. It's not religion that is evil it's the person following said religion. Just because we choose not to buy into the bible does NOT mean we are evil! It should be based on how one lives their life.

Why. Do . You. Care. What. Other. People. Believe. In???!
Seriously love, get a life and stop looking for things to ***** at. You people are always the same, like a mother facking dog with a mother facking bone. Go do something productive, for instance, learn proper grammar!
If you were really a Catholic or a Christian, you'd read the Open the Bible up to the part where it says "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Leave us alone pet, you're gripping at straws.
Ok, now go doggy, go!

Because it's not. I mean really don't you see that your beliefs are based on Pagan beliefs? Are you so shallow that you really think that christianity didn't borrow like all religions have done?
I feel bad that you are so narrow minded. How sad it must be to live in such a small mind.

I agree with you that witchcraft is of the devil satan ( I use a lower case "s' for the name of satan, I don't want him to have his name glorified ,the same way that we glorify the name of "GOD"!.....people that get involved in these sort of things are usually people that can't seem to find consolation anywhere else except in that which grants them immediate satifaction.....they are always looking for the easiest quickest anwers to their problems...they have no petience for waiting for GOD to answer their prayers and they simply can't accept that maybe the answer that GOD is giving them is "NO",because they are not livig life the way that HE wnats them to live it....They are usually greedy,selfish and self centered people that want what they want ,and when they want it.....( I just realized something, when ever I am typing about GOD, I seem to be able to type much faster and make less misstakes.....Hmmmm?) Witchcraft is one of those typical examples of how the road to evil is wide and clear and easier to travel than the road to good which is thorned and narrow and harder to trudge through......You may travel down that road with many others beside you.....but I would rather travel down the road of good....with just one person beside me....".GOD "!..............Go with "GOD" my friend....You're a "GOD" PERSON!....ooops I meant a GOOD PERSON.......either way, they're both "RIGHT" calling satanism,voodoo,witchcraft.etc. a religion does'nt necessarilly mean that it is the right thing to believe in.and that is right to begin with.........I can call a tree, a cow, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get milk from it that can sustain me.....Hey, If these people want to believe in all that satanic rhetoric ,then let them do so.....that only means that heaven will be populated with the souls of those that were worthy of the gifts that GOD has promised....US...the ones that believe in HIM....THE ALMIGHTY, LOVING 'GOD'.......AMEN!

Not everyone has the same idea of what evil is. The basis of witchcraft is Wicca which is a religion of nature worship. I have known more than one Wiccan in my life and they have been good kind people. I'm not saying that all Wiccans are good people, just as I would say that not all Christians are good people.

Why do Christians down talk others religions? everyone doesn't want to follow your religious path, and it's not your place to tell them otherwise. Since you believe so higly in god, then why can't you leave it between him and that person?! I find funny when you people get on here ranting and raving, when you 1. know nothing of the religion, 2. have more than enough skeletons in your closet,...
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
