Anyone who prays is invoking a superpowerful supernatural being to help them in their life in some way. That's magic.
No it's not.

I didn't accuse you of believing any of that. I simply knew both of you were Christians so I posed a simple, honest question that I genuinely want to understand. If you'd rather get offended than discuss it I'll just **** off.I can't answer for Goshin, who I suspect has different thoughts on the subject of God from my own thoughts.
For starters, find any example of my saying that God is just and loving, or that God is fair, or that it punishes, or that it damns people to anything bad. Find me the examples you accuse me of, and we will have the discussion. I really get tired of being accused of saying something which I did not state.
Second, I never have asked you to believe ANYTHING whatsoever. What you believe makes no difference to me, just as what I believe should make no difference to you.
:mrgreen:We all know today that there is no such thing as magic and there never has been. Despite what people believed 2000 years ago or even 200 years ago. And yet the bible, both new and old, mentions magic several times either by mentioning certain people (Egypts Pharoh who's magicians couldn't tell him the meaning of his dreams so he called for Joseph for instance) or by simply saying to not associate with such as practice "sorcery".
Why would God, who people say wrote the bible even mention sorcery if such a thing does not exist?

It is, there's nothing wrong with magic, it's simply a term.
