I have to shake my head in comiseration and sympathy. When I was in elementary school, our pastor claimed that comic books were tools of the devil, and my mother threw all of my (now collectible) comic books into the garbage.
A few years ago, a new convention for spelling magic became "magik" to describe the use of spell and such.
But I find magic all over the place. There is the magic of love, the magic of birth, etc.
And then there is the magic of salvation!
It is a shame that some people are "threatened" by "forces," if you will, that will shake "the faith." That, in and of itself, questions how deep "the faith" is in an individual. I can only smile and move on. Some people like to live in tiny little fortifications and then wonder why they are not happy. Hopefully some powerful magic from the Holy Spirit will one day knock down these restraining walls and open up the whole world to them.
