      I know of one thing that might qualify:

      I don't believe in this, but... if you wanna know...

      You need a thin sheet of lead or pewter, but steel probably can work without being illegal / environmentally damaging. Preferably the metal sheet should be close to dark grey and not shiny.

      Using a knife you must deeply scratch the metal to engrave the names or a sufficient description of who you will curse on it in sentences like "I CURSE ALAN SMITHEE, JAN NOWAK, (…) FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF (…) Make sure the lettering is small enough. If the different people did different things you have to write it too.

      Make sure to make your demands be in-between sycophantic and entitled. The chthonic powers like brazenness and high emotion, but at the same time to be addressed with respect and the praise reserved for a god. You are not addressing something that empathizes with you—that is a grave mistake—you are addressing something that has power and enjoys it and it likes to do little favors for humans as a way of enjoying that power.

      Then, you need to fold it once with a hammer, and then drive a nail through the tablet.

      And finally, drop the tablet in a place physically deep within the Earth, in a place without water to corrode it and where it will not be disturbed. The drop part is important: it has to be in some place “deep” enough to be unreachable once dropped. It has to fall into inescapable darkness. You should not look down or look back.

      Nine out of ten sorcerers agree this curse increases the likelihood of ruination and absolute despair for at least one of the people involved by one-hundred to two-hundred and twenty percent, side effects may include all-consuming regret and eternal torment after death. 😙 (this is satire.)

    So I’m a bit confused, are we talking witches with balls or wizards without? I mean if trans women are still men then by his philosophy they should be wizards… Or is witch gender neutral? Seems oddly progressive for him.

    “Never thought I’d vote side by side with a witch.”

    “What about with an activist?”

    “Aye, I could do that.”

    When I was a Christian in the 80s, most of the other Christians I knew were at least still accepting of science. Belief in witchcraft was something that was considered an extreme fringe superstition, even by Christians.

    Today? It seems like most Christians live in fear of witches, devils, and books.

      Faith is only meaningful in the face of evidence. Alternatively faith is tested by evidence.

      Anyone who can adhere to their faith in the face of overwhelming evidence can dismiss any and all evidence of anything. This leads to any evidence, regardless of if it’s contrary to an article of faith, being denied.

      The end result is complete and willful ignorance. Ignorance leads to a host of other anti social behaviour, like thinking that transfem witches are coming to steal your testosterone and makes you gay, for example.

      Happy to help, and to be honest the GOPers have been unrepentent GRIFTERS, CARPET BAGGERS, ASSHOLES, PEDOPHILES, ETC, so making them look bad was mostly a matter of getting out of the way.

    He does not think that. He’s just saying it to give their lunatic base an explanation that prevents them from realizing the obvious truth that no one in the US wants a christian theocracy.

      It’s to equate being left-wing with being a transgender dick-stealing witch, or whatever insane boogey man the ignorant should be afraid of today.

          Stealing (theft) requires deprivation of the rightful owner of the property in question.

          You’re describing barter.

          These witches have galleries of stolen dicks, with tastefully arranged displays of stolen testes to augment the whole ensemble.
