Occult Practices

A friend of my is a devout Christian. I think I mentioned her before in one of my previous posts.

The purpose why I mentioned her this time is because somehow she heard from somewhere (not many people know) that I'm into Marie Callas and those "occult practices", as what she asked me. She was against it but I told her she had no position to question my spiritual practice. This is the first time I have heard of this word "occult", please forgive me for my poor vocab, and I check this word up and it roughly means something related to esoteric or paranormal, or psychic magic.

Well, I'm at a loss to say. When a person is defiantly religious, my take is that this person has no tolerance for other religions or spiritual practices. This person regards his or her way as the ONLY way to go and all others are wrong. No offence please. I've seen personally with my eyes another devout Christian dismissing a clay statue of guanyin as idol and she smashed it in front of a group of fellow Christians to pieces while the rest cheered on. I was aghasted in that moment for their intolerance. That supports my view that humans will be destroyed by their belief and intolerance instead of working for peace together.

Sorry, this is just purely my own opinion and I mean no harm or acrimony.
