Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
Look how God ended this. He wants us to know that this was written by Him, and not just some simple scribe, so it must be pretty important, huh?
So what the hell constitutes a familiar spirit? Am I allowed to regard those with unfamiliar spirits? Should I call the liquor store and ask what brands they have before I go? Must I not look the clerk in the eye if the only spirits he has are those that I do know?

And why is God so down on wizards, and why does He think we'll be defiled if we seek after them? I mean, if God's worried about us sullying our reputation, why not tell us not to seek out prostitutes? Or used-car salesmen? Or lawyers? Or politicians? What's God got against the wizards? Is it because they look like Him, with their long white hair and the beards? Or is it because they can do magic, and God wants to be the only one to bring magic to our lives? But then who gave them the magic, if not God? Is God trying to say that there are other forces out there besides Him?
So how the hell am I supposed to act to keep on good terms with God? Do wizards in any form cause me to be defiled? Must I have my computer exorcised to rid it of its Custom Installation Wizard and Recovery Wizard, and any other defiling wizard that may be hiding within? Have I condemned my children to eternal damnation by purchasing for them a Math Wizard? Why was I not warned about this back in April when I consulted the IRS's Tax Wizard? How can I become undefiled now?
And what are we to do with the constant bombardment of wizards by the entertainment industry? Why must these defiling wizards always be portrayed in a positive light?

But can a witch be good? In Exodus 22:18 God says:
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
So God's just down on anybody else with magic, huh?

So what the hell am I to do to protect my children? Should we burn all of their books save for the Bible? Should we cancel Hallowe'en? Must we suppress any and all forms of imagination in our children in order to save their soles?
You have some interesting questions here. There are a number of things in the Bible that can be tough to explain, or even can't be explained. I wonder about this things some times but my faith in God helps me recognize what is really important, Jesus' sacrifice for all and the ability we now have to spend eternity with God. When you think about that, some of these other matters really become trivial.
