If you would like to suggest to others that the bible consigns people who take Prozac to a fiery hell, don't you think you should support your contentions with the proof you say is contained in the words of the bible by simply producing them? If not, that's ok.

Thank you.To start with, we will need a definition of the word "sorcery" and whether or not the synthesis of medicines qualifies as being such.
The following are the words to the three citations you provided. I do not see anything that equates sorcery with the practice of medicine. Do you?
"Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
"nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their immorality or their thefts."
"Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood."
