Witchcraft, is it evil?

I once tried to add human head juggling to my list of daily satanic rituals, but they're very inconvenient for me, even as a fairly decent juggler. I think it's because I have small hands. I'm hoping to try human infant head juggling soon, because I think I'll have more luck with it.

The meaning of Animal Sacrifice in the old Testament.
Wellll thenn. Back in the OT days, what could be the most powerful form of covenant or promise that we humans could make to God. Did you know that in order to get married back in those days you had to dig a trough, pour your best sows blood in it, and then have the bride and groom walk through it from one side to another. Both families dedicated their best Sows to this cerimony. Why? To make a promise to eachother made in Blood. Ever heard the term "Blood Brothers"?
Blood and it's meaning in the Bible. One of the traditions Man made up based on the meaning of blood (Life essence) was to sacrifice their best animals to God in a form of Repentance. People were a lot more serious about God back then compared to now but thats b/c of the culture change. It's like if you are a kid and you feel bad about doing something you shouldnt have. You try to and you Promise your parents you wouldnt do it again. Now, when your speaking to a Divine Entity such as God you want to cleanse yourself from those burdens you carry and from the Sins you comitted. Remember, people were waiting for the Prophecy of Jesus/ Yaweh to be fulfilled back in those days so they couldnt just pray to the LAST ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. Note: Thats why people say that Jesus was the last Sacrifice.
Well, People back then would wash themselves (at one point they did) in blood and that developed to burning or Sacrificing (smoke rises) their best cattle to cleanse themselves of their Sins. The reason God approved of such a thing was b/c God saw that the person preforming the Sacrafice was giving up their most valuable and tresured items in life. They were Sacrificing a part of their life for their sins in a manner of speaking.
Now, you mentioned the almost Human Sacrifice. Well, you can see why that would be such a big Sacrifice to a fathers life. He is loosing his lineage, his only son just to please God or show his dedication to God. They are doing it out of Love for God. Now, in an awesome turn of events Jesus sacrificed himself for everyone. He let his blood drip for us b/c Jesus was firmly into the old way of doing things. He Sacrificed his Life Essence for everyone and every generation that followed him and Acknowledged his Sacrifice.
This issue shouldnt be refuted.
Sincerely,
Lord-Rashid

Yes, I know the reason why. 
Just that, before anyone starts talking about evil satanic witch animal sacrifices, they need to check out their own history.
Of course, as I mentioned, Many "witches" are actually vegitarians because they dont believe in killing animals. So I think saying witches sacrifice animals is rather funny.

The Word of God has said that we shall have no other gods before Him. The worship of other gods is a great sin and worthy of death. Are we to avoid the truth of the Word of God just so that you are not offended? That would be lying and thus we would sin against God.

And the Lord said unto thee:
Round up all the Muslims, Buddists, Taoists, Hindus, etc., line them up against the wall, and have them shot in My name.
But make sure you get the Atheists and Evolutionists first!

Um Yeah, Hey Roy, you forgot to put a cover on your TPS reports. Man, thats not the only thing you forgot. Now, I see you've been online a lot. Do you spend more time online than you do in prayer? Wouldnt that be putting something before God in you're type of thinking? I think you should Sacrifice your computer. Burn it, BURN IT!!!! lol
Hey man, remember God is a God of compassion and Jesus taught that your actions DONT MATTER as much as what's in your heart. I mean, he walked down in the ghetto with the lepers and harlots and hung out. Would you then judge him by his actions thinking he didnt spend enough time with his followers or didnt spend enough time preaching? One of the best ways to get through to peeps is to be an example. Have a sense of humor, relax, and not be so serious. Especially be devoted to what comes out your mouth too.
As far as anyone who puts another god before them goes? I think you'd better re-read what happened inbetween Moses's people gettin freaky while he was up on the mountian to the Teachings of Jesus Christ. Then re-read the teachings of Christ and his purpose and Exactly what he says. Make sure to pray bout it before you read too.

Lord Rashid

Sigh.
Here we go again. Let's see if anyone actually listens, or if they simply dismiss everything I say because even though I am a Pagan and have known Pagans all over this country for eleven years, I obviously don't know what members of MY OWN RELIGION do.
1. I know NO Pagans who sacrifice animals in the name of their Gods. It is, of course, possible that a few Pagans who (a) have farms and (b) eat the animals they raise dedicate them to the Gods before they kill them, but that's no more "animal sacrifice" than is kosher killing or a Christian prayer over a meal...
2. All Pagans have a moral code which would forbid them from "sacrificing" human beings. Therefore, if someone claims to be a Pagan and claims he/she sacrificed human beings...that person wasn't a Pagan.
3. If you make a claim like "all non-Christians worship Satan," you will get non-Christians very angry at you, because (a) from our points of view we naturally do no such thing and (b) that statement wasn't clarified. It is better to say, "As a Christian, I believe worship of anything but my particular Christian God is 'Satan worship,' therefore I would say any non-Christian theist is actually worshipping Satan," if of course you must say anything at all on this subject.
4. "Witchcraft" is not evil. Neither are kitchen knives or chairs evil. However, all of them can be used for evil, certainly.
5. Someday, the Christians I meet will all know this, so I won't have to say it over and over 50,000 times...and hopefully not have to fear that they'll murder me for not being a Christian.

What is witchcraft? You mean like that movie the Craft? Or the witches of Eastwick?
Do they ride on brooms and have black cats, and bubbling cauldrons?
"She turned me into a newt!.... I got better..."
"Burn her! She's a witch!"
