While paganism refutes the idea of white and black magic are there not some magical procedures that by their very nature invoke a negative effect?

Certainly. Just as there are physical actions that by their very nature cause harm, there are spells which, no matter your intent, can do less good than harm. For instance, a love spell which targets a specific person. On the surface, this seems to be a positive thing: I love this person and want the person to know and feel the same way. However, person-specific love spells are manipulative. They interfere with the desires of another, and quite possibly make someone else unhappy (what if that person is loved by someone else, and up until the spell is cast, that person reciprocates that love?) This is only one of many examples I could name of spells that create negative effects. Because of what is known as the law of returns, these spells bring the user long-term harm and disappointment.

Yes He basically lists all the classical proofs of God's existence: ontological, cosmological, the argument of the design and necessity- then refutes them (really quite well) and also refutes the fact that Jesus was the nicest and kindest man who ever lived.
