Ok so what if.... witches as per folk tales and scary movies existed? (Not the dbag witch/emo/hippies we do have) but real fly on a broom, steal your children cook and eat them, prey on people in general, no prision can hold them, can only be killed by water or fire, but real as the day is long???
Would it then be ok to have an hold witch hunts of old/Salem witch trials?
What if #2: what if just a few hundred years ago these type of witches really did exist and it wasn't superstition and rampant ignorance that over took people. What if the population was then just as aware of reality as we are now, only that the variable in the equation was reality itself and not our ancestors knoweledge of it? Meaning the supernatural was stronger than it is now?
Would that change your view of what they did and why they did what they did?
no it wouldn't you would be falsely justifying the murder of pegans and not to mention magic doesn't exist. mass hysteria is something else and people very innocent people gotten killed over superstition. anyone with some common sense would be stopping it. but the very delusional people during the time with the witch trails were killing innocent people then people were like hey i can say x person is a witch and get him killed and takes his land....
