NewWe need to ask this?

Let me get this straight; sorcery is a practice of appealing to demons--fallen angels in rebellion against God--to get what one desires. And we have to ask the question of whether this is wrong? Really?

What's next? A forum on whether it's sinful to sacrifice your babies to Molech? Whether one can become blood brothers to Satan? Whether it's OK to put pineapple on pizza? (just kidding on that last one)

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
