Burn the Witches!

[McCulloch]

If you are referring to religious dogmatics of a few hundred or so years ago, you also need to consider that the extreme punishment of witches was (sadly) abandoned long before the constitution was written. In my opinion it should be reinstated.

Should witch burning be reinstated under the law? What other religious tests should be given the force of law?

Wankers, witches, and wizards.
Just the thought of them turns me gizzards
Should we burn the damned lot
In flames that are hot
Or freeze them in Arctic blizzards?

Maybe not Arctic blizzards, but I have read that many of the witches who were accused in the Salem Witch Trials and not immediately executed, later died in prison from exposure to the cold.

While their husbands, who had brought the accusations against their wives, knowing that the church who wouldn't allow them to divorce their wives, but would kill them instead, were out shacking up with a younger and better looking woman.

But the Puritans were good Christians!!! Don't we celebrate them every Thanksgiving Day, and tell the little kiddies in our schools inspiring stories about how they came to America to escape religious persecution? Hmmm. Something wrong here.

They may have been pompous and pious, pretentious, puritan people, who ran around kissing their Bishops ring, and you might celebrate them every Thanksgiving Day over there in Yanky land, but over here in the land down-under we don’t celebrate them professed christians, who went to America to persecute the American Indians because of their ancestral religious beliefs, nor do we celebrate the same hypocrites who came to the land down-under.

I am in awe that someone would support such an idea! Are witches a problem today? I haven't seen any lately. I can't believe a person is in favor of the Salem witch trials.

I'm sure that you realise that this is all tongue in the cheek stuff, and your "AWE," in reality is, "AWWWW come on fellows."

As a witch I'll vote no.

If they put it into law I'll happily convert to Taoism.

If all fundamentalist Christians, homophobic and misogynistic people would also burned, I could agree with YES. Otherwise, of course not!

What's the difference between burning Witches (which hasn't happened in CENTURIES and tearing apart viable human beings in their mother's uterus via a D & C procedure? (Which happens every few minutes.

Have you ever seen the remains of a human child torn to pieces by a Doctor or Nurse using a D & C method? Utterly gruesome, barbaric, pitiless.

And do you have the actual numbers of witches that actually met their death via burnings or other murderous ways?

So you are saying that burning witches was valid because your "church" "religion" condoned it, but abortion is not valid because your "church" "religion" doesn't condone it?
