Default Why do people claim they know what Witchcraft is when they don't?

I see this way too much. Please, if you don't know much about something, PLEASE just take a minute to look it up, and not from the bible, it's biased.

A good place to research other religions is WNW.religioustolerance.org. Yes, you CAN research other religions without converting over to them. Don't worry, the other religion won't suck you in just by reading a few words.
Hey Rae Rae, I need Jesus like I need an infected rectum. And you're saying that your own people need Jesus, by the way.

They claim to know what witchcraft is because they've heard it described on TV or seen it in movies. They're not smart enough to actually research the real religion so they'd rather think it was like Harry Potter. That's just the way people are.

Hell those people don't care, they're going by all the propaganda that they've heard through their pastors, families, or other sources growing up. They don't WANT to learn any better, cause they feel it might be threatening to them. It's like you said, they think that by just reading about another religion they will somehow feel compelled to convert to it. Such nonsense.

That's a good question. I've been wondering that for more than 20 years. I think the answer would be that people are afraid of things they don't understand, and it's easier to have a fit and make a lot of false accusations than to just be unbiased and look it up. And some people have this idea that their own religion is better than any other, and they like to tear down and spread fear about anything different.

It's a problem that's been around for centuries. Sometimes expecting people to be reasonable is just asking too much of them - they're not spiritually advanced enough yet to want to grow.

The Christian Church was successful in labeling all pagan religions as "devil worship ping" and "evil". Even when with craft was always simply a worship of nature. A simple ritual to ensure a good harvest became a ritual of devil worship and sacrificing babies. It has started there and it's hard to reeducate people on misinformation they've been fed for hundreds of years.

Good question, daughter of Satan.

We know the devil is the king of lies, so just keep telling people the Bible is biased. We know to do the opposite of everything you write and tell us.

The Bible is the instruction book for the world. Have a question? The answer is in the Bible!

witchcraft is an open door to the devil. it guarantees you access to the Lake of Fire so you can swim with the devil for eternity.

I will pray for you. God loves you.

people make claims such as what Wu have asked for many reasons, how they were raised, what they may have heard or seen or read. there is no real answer, you might as well ask why some people have racial issues etc. love and light

They are ignorant, blinkered and incapable of research. If they were to read a book that told them the truth about witchcraft, they would disbelieve it anyway as it doesn't agree with their book of fairy tales, hence rendering most of their academic education as lies.

Funny thing is Jesus was a witch. Healing people, turning water into wine, walking on water, yet because it is part of their belief system it is a MIRACLE ( it's more of a miracle no body's ever swatted them HARD round the head with a bible) and it's OK, but if the rest of us were to do it ...ooh it's Satan.
Hmmm. Does that mean the people who make their communion wine are Satan's people ? Since Jesus is the only one who can turn water into wine......
You and I know the truth, we have the last laugh as we are probably doing more for the planet we live on than they are.
We are the caretakers of the world, they are merely the rodents.

Most Christians claim to know about witchcraft because "its in the Bible" and from the media.

Many Christians don't know about the "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch to Live" translation swath. The word "witch" was switched from "slave", by King James, who was terrified of witches.
Most Christians base their whole hatred towards witches on that one verse, and its a mistranslation.

Christians should do some research, educate themselves and learn that Wiccans, Witches, and Pagans don't even believe in the "Christian devil". I believe its important to look into things always.

Most Christians have never been to a full moon ceremony, or any kind of a pagan gathering or ceremony. Its nothing like what they assume.

God, the creator loves everybody, all of us and we are all equals. United not in faith, but in creation. We are God's wonderful creations. Just because we disagree on who created us, it doesn't mean that we can't get along and exist together. We all should be respectful towards one another and know that we all are all equals.

Try not to let the ignorant people, who have no interest in learning or even considering learning bother you too much. In the end they are missing out no matter how you look at it. Even if they don't like something the phrase know thy enemy sums up why it would still be beneficial to learn about it.
