Yup, it's all in the Eye of the Beholder ie the Law of Attraction. For the Bible Thumpers I run across in my life, I keep this list of scripture in my purse that is PRO divination. If you really do your homework, the only leg to stand on is 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.' Yet the word 'witch' was translated into English from Hebrew & the original Hebrew word 'chafeth' meant 'poisoner' - that passage in context was referring to the fact that at that time in history women were poisoning people. So it should read 'Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live.' So very many purposeful & accidental mistranslations into English...

You have done evil in so doing.’”
