4. "Incense is a constant tool that is used by priests. They will take a philter (incense burner), walk around the altar, and then wave it out toward the crowd with an invocation...Not only do witches use incense, but they will consecrate their altar and their fellow witches in the exact way the Catholics do..."

Incense was used in the Old Testament...
Also I guess any long object can be called a "wand" (?) at the same time "wands" are not used to spread water over people lol (or anything)

I just want to add that while some of that article is a huge stretch, it is supposedly true that at some point ASPECTS were mixed but NOT with witchcraft, but PAGANISM, WHICH EXISTED BEFORE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES and probably since the beginning of history.

Just because ASPECTS are SHARED (like candles etc) doesn't make something good or evil. Ie, Chairs aren't good or evil. THEY JUST ARE. It's how you use them. Ie if you use a chair to harm someone (pro-wrestling style) then a chair can be perceived as "bad."

I grew up being taught aspects of a simliar belief of how "rock and roll is bad", and was forcibly missed out on one of the greatest times in music history. In the end, you can go overboard trying to avoid "evil", and I decided as an older teen to adopt the belief taught by my adopted church (or was it a Christian Rock musicians lyrics? I don't remember anymore...) " so busy doing the "do's
you dont have time for the "don'ts" .... At any rate:)
