I was talking with an evangelical friend a while ago, who gave me trouble for saying that I didn't think that I needed to have a road to Damascus experience to be a Christan. He said that "words have power"; if I say it, I will make it happen (and not have a vision/healing/dream/manifestation/other miracle). Okay.
Skip ahead to the next conversation. Same guy, different day, he was accusing priests of using a spell to magically (I really hate the use of that word by evangelicals toward the Eucharist--I find it very insulting) turn bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, likening it to witchcraft. He insisted that words mean nothing, do nothing. They are, after all, just words.
But words have power....
