Hey Rico:
So what is your point here? You are saying that you do think it has roots in witchcraft, but you take them anyway? Either you don't really think that, and you are just stirring the pot  , or you do really think that and you are blatantly embracing witchcraft. Which is it?

Re: Witchcraft = medication
Look on the bright side all of you who are popping your daily dose of "witchcraft"...
My father is a Christian Science Practioner. So it wasn't just wrong to take medicine, it was wrong to even be sick in the first place.

Derrick, I am merely stating facts, Bro. Whipping up concoctions to heal people eventually grew into what we have today.

Re: Witchcraft = medication
People need to realize that "drug" use was an occult practice.
Medicine for making people better is a scientific practice. There are no evil spirits being consulted etc etc

Re: Witchcraft = medication
What do you think they did in the bible when someone received a wound on the battle field? Prayer meeting? No they applied balms and other medicines. They had nothing to do with the occult.
