Christianity’s Promotion of the Occult
The Church is sometimes the best friend that the Pagan Community has ever had. For instance, in an article from Today’s Christian Woman, there are several grand claims in it based on personal experiences from people the author knows.
In reading the article I have learned that if I leave Christianity behind I can then use spells to get a better job, use a spirit guide for guidance, and otherwise lead a very happy and healthy life through the use of witchcraft and magick. Simply fantastic if you as me!
Dr. F. Douglas Pennoyer, a cultural anthropologist and senior pastor of Snohomish Free Methodist Church near Seattle. says that “it really works”. I mean, the guy is a doctor and an outstanding member of the community and church. I’ll certainly take that as an endorsement any day!
Once it gets done with all of the wonderful examples of how Witchcraft can make your life easier, better, and more fulfilling, it goes on about how all of that is a contradiction to biblical scripture. Even in the middle of all that Pastor Doug Pennoyer agrees that “There’s a resurgence in Wicca because people are seeking power in their lives, something that works”. Of course he then says that parents should pray that their children never find such joys in life as something that works. Though, he does have a point with something else that he’s said; “Neo-paganism is simply old garbage recycled.”
Either way, in reading the article I see that A) The Occult and a New Age lifestyle are means to better ones life, and that B) God thinks that doing these things is “bad” though other then saying that it’s bad, there is no real explanation as to why. Why? Likely because there isn’t one.
Blessed Be.

What rot you speak. Yes the pastor says it works, but because Satan makes it do so. Demon worship and evil may be your stock in trade, poor you.
