Are the rituals performed in Catholic and Orthodox churches just another form of magick?
Yes.

In a biblical sense, "magick" is something that draws on a power from any force other than God to achieve the desired results.
The difference between regular magick and divine liturgy is the power from whence the practitioner is calling.
If you read any of the generally accepted books in the magick community, for instance A.E. Waite's "The Book of Black Magic and of Patcts," the practitioner is chiefly calling upon the power of spirits to perform these acts. Going outside of God's divinity is what separated these acts from the Divine Liturgy.

Close, but not quite.
Moses was described as performing sorcery when he transformed his staff into a snake during a wizard-off with the Pharaoh's wizards.

Yes. Even when they sing while reading stuff from their books . It's all forms of magick but the part that makes them not the absolute religion is not taking into consideration your own power instead you have to rely to the god which calls itself the true one instead of letting people decide he just brings fear into us , teaching us to serve ONLY HIM and that HE is the only one or HELL awaits you my friend . Most people don't go to church or pray , that means they will go to hell kek . Some nice ideas remain in these religions but that's about it , far from the truth tho. What do you except from modified books over and over again.

>Only a sith deals in absolutes
>>18366065
Your logic is like a child's logic. Then all fanatics from all religions or believers only in their religions are sith. That makes no sense , they are far from the concept of your star wars sith, fan boy

The sith are normal people that are properly exposed to more cultures and/or vices. It was always a repressed ignorant amish goatfucking jedi who "fell" that went all spazoid and ruined everyone's vibe, bruh. Except for the odd creepy uncle faggot like (((pic related))), y'know.
