(29,047 posts)A man said he could heal the sick by laying of hands. He charged people for this "service." I called him a charlatan who prayed on the sick and desperate. He did not like me very much after that.
A guy, who was actually really cool, completely believed in astrology. I thought he was only interested in it to meet women at first, but when I talked to him about it, he got defensive. He was fucking into it.
A guy cast a spell to help him find a house to rent. He said it worked, and I didn't rebut him. He was pretty cool, but I couldn't but laugh at his spell.

One time, I was walking to a party with a man who was a high priest in the Church of Satan, and a few other people, when some random fellows challenged us to fight.
