Evil Bible Allegation: Exodus 22:18 God orders the death of witches, sorceresses and anyone who practices magic. Sadly enough, this verse was justification for the Inquisition.

The Refiner's Fire Response:

What man does that is bad for mankind is his OWN fault. Man is his own worst enemy because he has a limited human mindset. God has tried, from the beginning, to steer man in the RIGHT direction, showing man what is and isn't good for him. From the beginning, God told us that He hates witchcraft, magic, card reading and anything else that dupes people into believing in "other gods".

Leviticus 20:6 says God will separate himself from those who go after mediums and familiar spirits.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says that practicing witchcraft, sorcery, soothsaying, interpreting omens, making spells, and being a medium or spiritist, are all terrible sins to God.

Deuteronomy 18:9-11 "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft..."
