Real witchcraft: Potent solutions
Just when it seemed that the interminable presidential campaign had plumbed every depth of the absurd, witchcraft entered the picture. To the hilarity of Sarah Palin’s liberal critics, a video surfaced in which Kenyan Pentecostal bishop Thomas Muthee had invoked blessings on Palin, asking among other things that God “keep her safe from every form of witchcraft.” To many people this request discredited Palin’s faith, along with churches so apparently out of touch with modernity as to accept the reality of demons and witchcraft.
