Does this mean I propose killing every accused witch (from previous post)? No, but I do believe in the context of Scripture that the witches of biblical times were and should have been put to death. Try that today and see how fast you end up in a padded room or on death row for a hate crime. Wicca is a recognized religion by the US government and therefore protected as such.

Ha ha ha. It's okay in the past times because it wasn't a crime. That makes a lot of moral sense to me. I mean, I don't think it was viewed as a crime by theocracies/monarchies/etc. to kill and thoroughly abuse some one that was in an enemy empire.
I love it when fundies openly admit that the only thing standing between them and murder, rape, and goat-screwing is the belief in the promise of great torture if they do it. Says more about them than it does non-believers.

So have witches changed, or have we stopped being primitive, superstitious, ignorant barbarians?
Yeah, except when you consider the fact that they weren't poisoners, but innocent scapegoats in the wrong place at the wrong time being punished for when something bad happens, and often it wasn't even a person eating bad food and getting botulism or something, it was one of their cattle dying or their crops wilting! Let's find someone we don't like, accuse them, and stone them to death!
@skyfire
What this person fails to realize is that "witch" in the context he's talking about may have been an alterate term for "poisoner."
Source for this?
Anyway, I don't find it strange that Bible would tell to stone witches, that book is hardly a source of human rights.
Dante's Virgil said:
Wicca is recognized by the military, though grudgingly in the 1990 Chaplain's Guide. Currently, approximately 1800 armed services are Wiccan/Pagan. The VA is being an ass (probably because they think they can get by with it in the current administration.)
Evergreen it was due to the VA. Bush had nothing to do with it. It was more to do with the VA's goofy requirements to obtain a symbol. Primarily the need for a santioning body. Wicca really does not have a centralized governing body. That is what i recall from the issue and yes being a military wiccan, this really pisses me off.
you have to throw a witch into a pond and see if she floats, thats proof of witchness.
I think the verse actually meant poisoner rather than witch.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
