→Witchcraft and the truth: Different worldviews.
::Perfectly understandable viewpoint Phillip. The article still reads like a weird rant with no references to scripture and no history or anything though. [[User:Fingermouse|Fingermouse]] 07:58, 24 May 2007 (EDT)

:::I'm not for one moment suggesting that the current article is satisfactory or that it couldn't do with improvement. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:41, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
That's a real catch-22 - witches are not liars because they're witches, but you won't believe that because a witch tells you. It amazes me you believe something like that, and I really hope you learn better one day. Finally, the Bible is a book written by men - as in it wasn't faxed down as it is today from Heaven by God himself (I say 'faxed' for lack of a better word). I really don't want to discuss the can of worms that opens because I'm not here trying to discredit your whole religion, just to try and bring some fact to this 'article' everyone's locked out of. --[[User:LunarStorm|LunarStorm]] 08:23, 24 May 2007 (EDT)

:The point that I was trying to make is that what one believes about this issue (as with many issues) depends on other beliefs, such as those that comprise one's worldview. My comments above, as Fingermouse apparently understands, is entirely consistent with my worldview, but inconsistent with your worldview. The solution is to find some common ground and build on that. But your view that the Bible is a book written by men (as though that's all it is, and it is therefore fallible), is not that common ground, because that is part of your worldview and not part of mine.
:I can understand that you don't want to open that "can of worms", but unless you do, we will remain with different views of witchcraft, because each of our views are inexorably based on our respective worldviews. If you want to discuss the validity of witchcraft, then you ''must'' start from the point of divergence, which is different worldviews. Anything else is futile. Of course, it is your decision whether or not you choose to discuss it at all.
