Cos they follow the doctrine of demons.I am of course talking about White and Black magic. I saw a thread on another fourm talking about these things but that didn't convenience me of the existence of magic but I still wonder why these people believe in magic ?
Superstition.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It's the devil and demons that do the magic, not the people themselves. The people have no "power." If that make sense.It's not superstition, the devil forces have power, but they can't use it unless people give them rights, sadly the witches, are helping the devil bring suffering manipulating spiritual things with that stuff they do.
It's the worst you can do get involved with that. But today people think is all games and funny.
Is it common in some tribal groups or Islam? Apparently, Islam has a lot of black magic, according to an ex-friend who was semi-practicing.I don't believe in magic but I have read that in some parts of the world people actually gun other people down because they believed they put a curse on them.

IIRC, Haiti is mostly Catholic with Voodoo or hoodoo influences. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some folk magic involved.Hmm.. I cannot remember the specific country. I think it was a missionary doing work in Haiti who said things like that happen there.
I'm sure this kind of thing happens all over the world, especially places where education is very poor. Heck.. we had our own problems with witch burnings once upon a time.
I entirely disagree. Using that logic, you are saying God is only part of the human imagination.Anything claimed to be supernatural exists only in the human imagination.
I'm saying that all of the gods, of all the world's religions, are products of our imagination. Check the link. Christians of all varieties are currently the largest religious group with 2.4 billion adherents. But they only account for only 31% of all religious believers. 2 billion Muslims, who make up 24% of believers are in 2nd place. 1.3 billion Hindus come in 3rd. Buddhists are 4th, with 500 million. About 16% of the world's population are totally non-religious (which includes my wife and myself,) or have some spiritual beliefs of their own design.I entirely disagree.

So this is my question: If the Christian god is really the one and only true God, why would He (or She) allow the worship of all these false gods? And why would God tolerate Christians splintering into many so denominations, i.e., Catholics, various Protestants--such as Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses, 7th Day Adventists, Christian Scientists, and Unitarians--to name several. And each with their own doctrines and rituals. To me, this makes no logical sense. Which is why I say that all the world's religions are human creations.
Thanks for the reply. Belief is a component of all world religions. Example: as per Islamic doctrine, the angel Gabriel appeared in a cave to Muhammad when he was about 40 years old. And informed him that he was chosen by God to preach the combined teachings of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other religious figures. The Quran, which supposedly states God's desires for mankind, was written by scribes based on Muhammad's revelations.I will reply to the best of my ability.
Respectfully,
You are an atheist, you have no relationship with God or experience of God.
Whereas, as a Christian, I do have a relationship with a living God and know him.
I believe, because he revealed himself to me.
Regarding multiple religions and denominations, I will only state it’s part of human nature people are divisive.
I know this answer probably won’t please you, but I doubt any faith-based answer will please you.
And, oh yes, I’ve had experience with the paranormal.

Exactly. Well said. It’s faith.Thanks for the reply. Belief is a component of all world religions.

It comes down to faith. Billions of people have faith in the Quran. Billions more have faith in the Bible. Who--if anyone-- is correct?
I think a belief in the supernatural is inherent in humans. We are born theists. So whether its a belief in God, gods, nature itself, aliens with magic like powers, witches, Sharam casting spells, or make believe Hollywood movies we are naturally tuned for such beliefs.I am of course talking about White and Black magic.
