While majick juju is not appropriate terminology for the words at the Seder meal, (its outright disrespectful) one must beware of ones orthography -magic with a k at the end could be misconstrued -it was a part of Aleister Crowleys thelemic religion. The TCT Channel had a special on him awhile back: to warn people to AVOID him like the plague. I believe you did not intend that! Just a heads up...Oh yes I did... exactly... precisely. It is the profane who think that objects can be made to hold magical powers... That food can be fortified with magic and spirits. But of course, my comment was not against the seder, as the Jews do not impart blessing upon the food, and that was my point. The food is just food. The Jews call YHWH blessed, which is right where the holiness belongs.
My comment was more toward those who think some old fart, in a funny hat, muttering arcane sentences, can impart mystical power into such things, and thus make them holy (or unholy) (that'd be all y'all for those of you in Rio Linda). ; )
And by the way, the word magic cannot be misconstrued. It is either the demonstration of profane power or the act of charlatans who mimic them...

Your comments crudely reflect the hatred of Catholicism and contempt for its leader. That's your issue. I don't hate anyone, although I sometimes hate what they do. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemies. So if you follow Christ, you may hate what we do, but ya gotta love us!
God bless you!

But the Catholics do and they even worship that cracker.
