Yes, I keep my broom by my bed and a spare one in the closet.
-
no, it is just a religion based on lies

Well first I'd have to believe in magic, wouldn't I?

No. Why would you think that?
-
I think it's probably as legitimate as any other religion, why not?
-
We've been taught that witchcraft is of the Devil.

Call it black, purple or any other colour, in the eyes of any reasonable person (specially if that person has not been previously exposed to christian dogma) they are the same thing.

Depends on your perception and definition of black magic. I don't believe in magic per se, but I do believe 1) Human beings have amazing abilities that are undeveloped; and, 2) There are forces at work in the universe that we do not recognise or understand

No. Christianity isn't a huge problem in and of itself, but it's an easy thing to blame. In any religion or belief system, there are, and will always be, fundamentalists. These are the people who like to force their belief on others, refuse to have discussion about it that doesn't follow their exact thoughts, and seem to believe that the written texts justify destroying anything which doesn't act like they do. The rest of the people usually don't really care as much, and are more than happy to just live their lives. Fundamentalism in ANY religion or belief system is dangerous. It's not black magic, though. It's just people who want to be heard louder than anyone else doing whatever they can to be heard. You will also find that most of these people do it from a purely selfish point of view, too ("If I convert enough people, then God HAS to let me into heaven." rather than "I want to help others go to heaven.")

Consider how many things you have NOT seen with your own eyes - the nation's history, for instance - but have excellent grounds for believing. We learn by means besides our own personal experience, thank goodness - we'd sure have a lot more trouble if we DIDN'T learn from other people's experience and say-so. Your second question does not relate to the first thing you asked.
