But I do not believe that witches can call up and command magic in the name of the devil any more than I can call up and command God to do something at my bidding

Do you believe God ever grants prayers?

If so, do you believe the devil can too?

Point made.

My point exactly.

I can pray for God do do something. But God is the one with the power to do something, or not. I have no power.

That is different that saying people can actually perform magic and cast spells.

Point made.

I believe that miracles take place (but not very often). The same would apply to witchcraft and spells. Would a Google site turn up saints discussing their miracles on a chat site. I don't think so.

To me the very fact that they are on a stupid chat site is contrary to them having supernayural powers.
