Someone claimed to be a witch, you could argue with that person, you may also ask about exhorcism and witchcraft(quora should do a better job at answering the ops ques than nl) , let's see how your European claim would fare.

Which evidence? He has given you a precise location,You claim you are learned and open-minded,Why not go check it out yourself? At least that's what intelligent,Inquisitive people do!! Or are you a coward?

An intelligent person who believes that something exists should be able to provide evidence that such a things exists and convince another person conveniently.

So as the learned person you claim to be, convince me with evidence that witchcraft is real and stop inviting me to an unknown location in Nigeria. Not everyone you meet here stays there.

I never said it is witchcraft or not.

Very common you said? But you still cannot explain or do it , are you truly a scientist
The condition to eat inedible materials is called pica and it is very common and has been studied well, mostly found in new borns, pregnant women and mentally challenged. Though it is not restricted to them. Pica is very harmful but if your stomach lining is thick as the man that ate the plane the foreign material will not harm you. The man has been studied by doctors and thick lining in his stomach and intestine are the cause for his protection. Its is not unexplainable. Witches don't exist.

Now that you've seen something that is more astounding than your claim of someone chewing blade, you are feigning ignorance by not reading through the link i provided. Why don't you click and read through and see how one babalawo in India gave him the charm that made him eat 40knives? grin grin

The point was not if there are people that identify as witches, even in nigeria we have witches and wizard association. The point was if they had supernatural powers and if the majority of developed nations were concerned with witch hunting.

If you are waiting for hard and fast evidence that the supernatural exists then I'm sorry but that's not going to happen soon because most of us believe based on our personal experiences. E hugs

Re: Do Witches & Wizards Exist? I Don't Think So! by McIroncock: 7:18pm On Nov 06, 2016
for the theists, witches HAS to exist

its one of the branches used to maintain the façade especially Christianity

in mfm, you hear prayers like "You witches and wizard of my father's house that's standing on my life, what are you waiting for? Die Die Die Die"

they start shouting the "die die die die" on top of their voice while violently shaking their heads from left to right in extremely quick succession

Olukoya (who gave the prayer point on the pulpit) would then put them out of their misery after a minute or two by saying "in Jesus' name they're dead"

Olukoya then gives the next prayer point which would involve killing witches and wizards AGAIN, the same witches they've killed already with the previous prayer point

imaginary friends has to attract imaginary enemies and Witches is one such imaginary enemies of the theist

Wow!

Now I see that JUMPING INTO CONCLUSION is your best sport.

Your type isn't worth arguing with.

I never said there is or there is no witch craft


you are not sure whether witches exist or not? So what argument are you really trying to put up here? That eating metal objects amount to witchcraft? shocked grin


just explained what I saw that seems impossible which nobody can explain. Ylse.

so because he said his babalawo dad gave him the power to eat metal object that makes the scenario unexplainable?

Then why have the Europeans left it?
Why has all the developed countries left it?
Why is it only in the midst of illiteracy and poverty do we find people hunting for witches?


They are still there.


You honestly think that because they don't make noise about it by introducing it subtly the populace that it doesn't exist there? Ask the Europeans who encounter witches in their backyards there. They are just wicked as the African ones, but with blue eyes and flaxen hair. They've simply made it more glamorous than Africans have.

There is little difference between a witch doctor and a person playing with a Ouija.

What is Halloween? Why do we have ghost busters? Or is it Blacks you've seen hunting for ghosts? If they didn't exist there presently you wouldn't see people filming their adventures.

I don't think you've dwelled long enough among white people to know what they do and how they go about it. The first person I heard speak of witches openly was a very normal European.

The OP needs peoples accounts of personal encounter with witchcraft powers and other forms of evidence to validate their belief in witchcraft powers NOT some sort of advice.

And how is one person now representing the whole of Europe.
There are movies about aliens have we seen them. There are movies on talking animals and teddy bears are they real?
The more educated an area is the less they believe in witches, of course there will always be exceptions in small amounts but majority rules.
A small percent of Americans believe the earth is flat does that now represent America?

He didnt seek any info.
We all know him, he went to google and copied jargon trying to use it to intimidate himself.

He thought by pasting the jargon, he has explained how somebody can eat and breakdown a plane.

Its his signature. He flaunts what he doesnt know.
Just like his pastor, seun.

i didn't say that, but quora would give you a wider range of experiences and you can argue with them there. Btw i brought quora up because you wrote of Europeans and also, since we know it might not be real because it's in quora why will the op ask for answers here when the answer might be fake too.

As I said, you need to mingle with people who aren't blacks. Then you'll get to understand that the metaphysical is a standard everywhere. Everywhere there are witch hunters.

I said the first person I heard it from. I never said the ONLY person. You didn't notice that because you didn't want to or you simply can't. Says a lot for you.


Who created Halloween? What is a Ouija board used for? You are dancing around these questions.

I think you need to do a survey of how many people have had a supernatural encounter and stop your ravings. You haven't actually experienced any of the stuff you postulate. Mingle. It will go a long way.

End of discussion.
actually before Ouija boards were seen as a harmless parlor game. Their association with Spiritualism didn't take off until World War I, when one Pearl Cullan started saying that it could be used to contact spirits

You're the one being illogical here rather. By asking people in an online forum (with a large audience) for their opinion and their reasons (proof) for believing in witchcraft, he is researching. Why would you also think that he hasn't done other forms of research?

They're simply a modern way of what African witch doctors do.

If Africans would create a mechanism or board, we would call it a harmless game, too.

And by the way they are actually real spiritual tools. You need to use one.
