    I mean a broken clock is right twice a day. No one should be spending money on such nonsense. I’m not sure to call it a scam though. Is it a scam if you yourself are also a victim?

    At least with adult content you are receiving what you pay for. When you are buying magic you literally are not getting what you paid for.

    Even if you believe in magic it has never been shown to exist.

        I am a secular person. But at least at a Christian store you are getting the book/cross/thing you are paying for.

        If you buy magic you get literally nothing.

          At the voodoo store I can get books/totems/things I’m paying for.

          If you buy hallelujah you get literally nothing.

            Buying books and totems and things would not be scams. You give money and get a thing. Same as a Christian buying a Christian book or cross or angel statue.

            Prayers and magic in exchange for money are you giving money for nothing. Hallelujah would be in the money for nothing category.

      I mean, if I want to spend my money on bullshit mumbo jumbo, that’s my prerogative. It’s not a payment processor’s responsibility to police what dumb shit I choose to believe in.
