OT:
Thanks Tom, you are a good soul. It`s been a good debate, and like you, I have learned much from it. We are all pupils in this school house we call existance.

this person named Yellowalert says it much better than I could. Just for another point of view.......but said much better than I did. and I'm done. Not to get the last word, I'm just thought that you might want this perspective. and that's all folks.........)

The catch-phrase "satanism" is also used by the more twisted and perverse elements of society who involve themselves in real crimes and real evils.

(Inrespect To SkyFloating) Just as like in any "following", there are the wannabies and there are the followers. Thereis within a secter of "satanism", a real group of people which does follow the proper ways of "satanism". Those people do NOT act all wearing black clothes, wearing goth items on their body...and so on. I do know this, because I was sortof into it.

I agree with you, Satanists are mostly ordinairy people, with their own beliefsystems. First of all, there is a wide variety of satanism, I'd say the two most important ones are LaVeyan/modern satanism and theistic satanism, and second, the term satanism is being misused by people as well. Satanism is not about sacrifices, it is not about blood, hate, evil as a lot of people seem to think. What surprises me, is that a lot of non christians see satanism as something evil as well.

The story of king Saul consulting the witch of Endor (sounds like a Lord of the rings character) is indeed a cautionary tale; he engaged in a practice that was forbidden and paid a heavy price.
Jacob used occult knowledge in Gen. 30:37-43 though it was not a practice expressly forbidden in the Deuteronomy passage that you quoted. Crowley wrote about this practice something about the lion and the eagle, I figured out what he was talking about, SF made a very veiled allusion to it in his thread on the law of attraction. Point is it worked out just fine for Jacob. It would work with goats cuz what they see with their eyes is pretty much all that is in their minds at the moment. I would not practice this and I think most fellow christians would be shocked at the... ins & outs of this. I read something from a pastor/commentator saying that Jacob did not know what he was doing....HA...I think he knew exactly what he was doing.
Most of the O.T. stories are presented without comment, like; this person did such and such.
