yeah so i was thinking in the shower
not about magic
yet for some reason i had some sort of idea.
Is praying to god magic?
is it magic under the paradigm that if you ask this enigmatic being for a favor that he will reply and help with good faith?
and then i thought more?
isnt ordinary magic the exact same thing, except instead of asking a being
we tell the universe...
and in some cases we do ask a being
like in a summoning of a demon?
And if that's true, then if you replace God with universe in the bible, it is more like things were guided into place by fate, and not by a bearded sociopath?
and it becomes something entirely different?
idk really
i just dont think much about Christianity because i am not a christian at all so
whatever.
in a sense yes praying is a form of magick. but i would say more of a lower magick. due to the fact that when people pray it may be at times half heartedly or out of desperation. but good point, lol
