I'm very annoyed by receiving forwarded "Christian" emails. They claim "send this email to 7 people and you'll get what you've been praying for" "bless 7 people in 7 minutes to receive a blessing"
For me, these emails are a form of witchcraft, not that everyone who sends them is a certified practitioner, but they have a manipulative, formulaic tone to them. Some even urge you not to throw them away or you'll miss out or something else.

Since prayers are rituals meant to incur the favor of supernatural forces, they are the same thing as spells. So prayer itself qualifies as attempted sorcery -- just highly ineffective sorcery!
Yeah, I have friends and relatives send me this type of stuff alot. Try as I might, I just can't seem to click the delete button hard enough to do them justice. They are annoying, but that's about it.
JohnRaptor, you have to graduate from Hogwarts.
In that case, consider witchcraft writting a letter, or just typing here. And don´t you remember the chain letters?, it´s the cyber version man.
Wasn't the bible about blessing those that treat you well? Or just God's people in specific? Just read your OT, I'm sure God promised Abraham that who ever blessed him or his descendants would get rewarded for doing so. Or what about the guy who was to curse the Jews during the trip to the promised land?
Bad news, vjaine, if you read this comment you will grow inexorably older, more senile and superstitious before dying a lonely, feeble death with no hope of any afterlife.
Yes, yes, if you squint at something hard and long enough it may appear 'evil', but you really believe this, don't you?
Yes, those are kinda annoying and evil, yet claiming they're witchcraft is going a bit too far, don't ya think?
