If you don’t believe in G_d, you’ll believe in anything.

It is belief in G_d
without the Vision Granted through the Torah
or Grace Appointed through Jesus

People such as these who believe in supernatural powers tend to believe in God, yes?

I'm reminded of a story (probably apocryphal) of a British colonial administrator in India in the 19th Century. It seems the locals where going kill the widow of a recently deceased man (the practice being know as "Sati"). The administrator told them that they couldn't do this, and they protested that he was interfering with their customs. His reply:

Her Majesty's government respects local customs. We will not interfere with your practices, do as you will. However, I would point out that we have a custom as well. We hang those responsible for the murder of old women.

Feel free to practice your custom. Rest assured that we will practice ours.
