Quote mining is impossible if the source material is provided.
People should always read the original source material and
decide for themselves their conclusions.

Quote mining is very effective when people reading the quote mine do not source the original material. The reality is that most people will not and do not source the original material. Why? Because science is hard and if sourced, most people would have no idea what they are reading. Additionally, the quote mine targets people who want to hear what the quote mine says because it either supports their personal opinions, dogma, or political views.

I've hunted and hunted, AV, and I can't seem to find any that can conjure Samuel from Paradise; so I gave up to pursue my next prompting ... that of getting a crusade together to go liberate Jerusalem of the Gentiles; despite the fact that Jesus said He would do it when He comes back.

I have a feeling that if you guys knew what a real witch was, you wouldn't be making fun.

In fact, I'll bet Wiccan Child got a wake-up call, himself.

Some "witches" today take umbrage to being considered 'Wiccans.'

That's what I thought ...

We're expected to meet you guys' expectation of doing things the Bible told others to do, and you don't even know what it is you're prompting us to do.

No, I know what witches are - real ones. I suspect, though, that what you consider a "real" witch is probably nothing of the sort, so that's why I asked.

You're right ... I do.

Real witches are in cahoots with someone you deny even exists; and in Old Testament times, they could conjure things you deny exists, from places you deny exists.

What is a "real" witch?

Full on bride of satan, plague maker, curse bringer. Super-villain wizard type. Basically a person so bad you'd feel totally justified in hanging them, burning them, etc.

Well, if it's written down, then it must be true.

Who cares about evidence all of a sudden?

Do you guys (whomever you are) think of evidence when you prod us to hunt them down?
