OOOOH not true at all. You obviously haven't spoken at great length to any fundamentalist Christians lately have you? The more charismatic fundamentalists sees their religion as BOTH doing what Jesus wants as well as what THEY WILL. They are openly taught to pray for what THEY WANT BELIEVING WITH FAITH THAT IT WILL BE DONE. That is in every way the same as when a pagan asks Aradia, Isis, or any other pagan deity to grant their wishes. That makes Christianity an act of magick as it is an act of will.
