Reply:The Puritans killed witches. They were Protestants. They were ignorant because it was the late 1600's and they didn't know anything about science or how the world worked, So when something bad happened, they attributed some supernatural significance to it. The same thing happens today. People said Hurricane Katrina was "God's way of punishing people for their sins." Pretty stupid that in his day and age people still believe in ridiculous things like that or believe in religion at all for that matter.





And for everyone's information....Catholics ARE Christians...it is a branch of Christianity. They didn't kill Jesus...the Jews killed Jesus. Roman Catholicism is basically the same thing as Catholicism. They just don't consider the Pope one step under God.
Reply:Christianity was the umbrella religion for murdering people accused of witchcraft.


There isn't any justification. We as people barely know the REAL reason for this. could be anything from puritanical bullsh*t to sexism.

It's too complicated to go into here but there have been many books written on the history of it and the psychology of it. It's worth reading up on, if you can stomach it.
