This reminds me of some work drama...
My coworker was cursed by our ~~b~~witch of an 'assistant manager' for turning her down, and the next day his mom had hot oil splash up her whole arm and it looked bad.
Not supersticious but he was and he was terrified. It was horrible to watch.
The witch subculture is on the same level as kids who start channeling their chi to kamehameha a bully
Anyone who watched that episode where Gohan taught Videl how to channel chi and didn't try it at home was probably too old to be watching the anime
That's not true, the kids will figure out they're cosplaying eventually.
This is just a high effort version of "...Then may God strike me dead!" but targeting a spiritual minority instead if the hegemonic national religion. Shouldn't the amount of un-smited politicians indicate that there is no God?
it's a risky thing to do,
the vast majority of cases, you'll be right. but no one will care.
however, in the unlikely event where you suffer a immediate tragedy, like trip and break your nose, stroke, bird shits on you. you might start a new religion
Yeah, I got taken in like this for a while.
I grew up religious and one time prayed for a friend who was going to go though a couple of surgeries and would have to eat through a straw for a few months. I prayed that I could take some of the pain for him if needed. Turned out that I had a small accident and got my first stitches the next day and my friend was able to avoid additional months of recovery because the surgeon was able to do both operations at once. I took that as a sign that my prayer had worked and believed more strongly in God. For a while until I realized that coincidences can happen and that believing in God is pretty stupid.
Not quite the same. God (hypothetically) has their own plan, so if I pray for god to smite you, and they don't, then I can just say "well, I guess that's not God's plan". Whereas, if you believe in hexes and/or curses as something fundamentally different to a bog standard prayer, then presumably the hexer and/or curser has more agency over the result than that.
It's really funny how the "singular, omnipotent god" religions fucked up the logic behind prayers. When you had many gods and spirits and whatnot, a prayer not being heard could be taken as it not being stronger than another spirit/god, or the god of your choice ignoring you, or something else.
With omnimono, god has a plan, so prayers are either trying to convince him to change the plans (which, if assumed true, opens a very interesting can of theological worms), or will fall on deaf ears, as the plan won't change.

Two sips of water counter the next spell cast your way, no wonder he's having such an easy time avoiding them
I have a made up word I have never said to anyone.
Nobody claiming to be psychic has ever been able to detect it.
While it's a meaningless thing overall, it is endlessly entertaining to watch someone spiral from "trying" to discover it, to random guessing, to being angry and declaring that I'm lying and they got it the first time.
It's kinda like my secret. I have a secret I have never told anyone. It's another thing I will put before a self proclaimed psychic. Even once they progress to guessing, none have ever even thrown it out as an option.
And you'd be amazed how many self proclaimed psychics there are out in the world, and how many of them seem to really think they are psychic, to the degree that they'll accept someone presenting one or both of those challenges.
The made up word would be a difficult guess for sure. But my secret isn't something so rare that nobody could possibly hit on it as a guess.
I'm not willing to outright say that there's no thing that could be called psychic ability. What I am willing to say is that nobody has ever exhibited such, and likely never will

Do it again, but with the magical powers of theism instead of witchcraft.
