The Christian site Charisma News has produced a helpful 35-minute instructional video on how to stop witches from casting spells against you. They write:

The devil’s trick witch witchcraft is to make it seem all innocent and fun. “Witchcraft can be very deceptive, and it can manifest in many ways in our lives,” former witch Beth Eckert says.

“A lot of us are used to thinking that witchcraft is just what you see on TV and in the movies. What comes to mind is Maleficent in the Disney movie, or the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz or Harry Potter. So things that are fun or perfectly innocent and good like Harry Potter or things that are so far out of our reality that we can’t even comprehend that it would be something real.”

That’s how it sneaks in. Before you know it, you may be under an attack. Watch the video for the signs and how to stop them.

That's what they all sound like to me.

... The atheist, hearing this breathtaking account of goodness beyond all expectations, turns in relief to Science, congratulates himself for avoiding such fantasies, and assures anyone willing to listen that it may not be a comforting thought, but “here’s the way things really are” ...

... Why would the Creator want to do this for mortals like you and me—with a special concern for thieves and public sinners and “lost sheep”? The Christian religion offers us a completely absurd extreme of love, transcending all human concepts, and is thus absolutely credible!

A Dallas evangelist told his followers that an "anointed cake" baked by "hookers" turned a gay man straight.

A man took a spirit level on a plane to prove the earth is flat

A flat-earth conspiracy theorist took a spirit level on a plane to “prove” the earth is flat. He also filmed it... Presumably in the name of science?

YouTuber D Marble flew from North Carolina to Seattle to see if the pilot would dip the nose of the plane to “compensate for curvature”.

They are. Not all of them, but mostly ignorance is valued as a "salt of the earth" quality. Somehow not knowing anything makes Jesus love you.

It's actually a pretty recent phenomenon.

US "conservatives" and "libertarians" essentially fled academia. The result is a mindset among them that equates education with being "liberal".

Of course, there's also the narrative that the flight of the right from higher education was prompted by the takeover of universities by the Left.

It's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing.
