the skeptics agenda - part 5

Homeopathy is witchcraft
Witches are bad
Witchcraft is dangerous


....Ban homeopathy

---

To claim that homeopathy is witchcraft makes at least a couple of leaps of faith. Yes, faith.

• The existence of witchcraft, and Satan(ism)
• ...and the acceptance that there’s something in homeopathy... yet no idea what it is. 

Paradoxically, every skeptic I know is atheist or at least agnostic, which deems them ‘faithless’ or perhaps ‘faith-free’ depending on which side of the fence you sit.

I’m prepared to accept that favourable responses that people experience from a homeopathic treatment can indeed appear like witchcraft.

‘Witches’ weren’t so impressed when a skeptic turned the statement on its head and claimed ‘witchcraft is homeopathy’

Banning something since some perceive it as witchcraft is somewhat antiquated don’t you think? What year is this? “It’s the witches work... Burn the witch!” I mused over this and it got me thinking...

The majority of my homeopathic contemporaries are women, yet most of the sceptics I’ve engaged with, all bar one in fact, have been men. Is there some kind of disdain for ‘women who heal’ going on here? I don’t know, but it’s food for thought.

Does it sound so offensive to call homeopathy ‘magic’, or ‘wizardry’ instead?

But, does it really matter?

Here’s a testimonial from a former client of mine, a carpenter:

“I approached Alastair with an open mind and in desperation! By chance, I met a former client of Alastair who highly recommended him.
Some say it's witchcraft!
I don't care...
It works!”

Essentially, no, it doesn’t matter. People are getting well again.
