Is killing a witch always a bad thing?

[Something completely different]

Sheldon Cooper, is that you?

There are alot of cultural differences in what is accepted to be humor.

I sometimes dont find english comedians funny.

Let alone French ones.

and would you find german comedy funny in an instance without having an understanding o the jokes:

Or maybe 'he' is trying to get some closed minded people to think beyond the absolutes they set for themselves.

Luke 4:23.

[My imaginary friend is GOD]

Witchcraft is not a religion. It is a practice. Witchcraft also has nothing to do with satan or satanism. Please do your research.

I will concede there is a debate, but it only seem to be a debate among those who want to seperate and give Wicca a legitimacy, from witchcraft. Just because there is a popular movement to deny the orgins of 'Wicca' does not mean the the "art of witch craft" somehow 'magically' stops fitting the dictionary definition of a religion.

You have based your argument on 'feeling' and not fact. All three sources identify witchcraft as a religion

Those sources are wrong. There is magic and there is religion. Witchcraft is magic. Wicca is religion. Just as voodoo is a religion but hoodoo is magic. It should also be pointed out that Christians also sometimes dabble in magic.

Well let's try this: if you think a witch is trying to curse you or put spells on you, pray that God smiles them for you, and we'll see what happens.

I was joking. And not a good comparison because you understand english but I don't understand German.

One of the problems with the OP is that witchcraft covers a very wide range. There are examples of malicious witchcraft in Africa and other places alongside malicious examples of Christian paranoia over witchcraft (see Stimbo's link).

I am not sure this can be equated to the situation in Europe over a 500 year period when an unknown number of women were burnt (possibly 100,000 plus) for being witches. It appears that their major crime was being independent women, or old women living on their own, or ugly women again on their own or living with other women (thereby being classified as a coven).

Whatever horrors one might suppose witches have done over history it appears this diminishes into nothing compared to the crimes against women, by Christianity, under the excuse of witchcraft.

From the little I know of Wiccans they seem to bear very little resemblance to any of the above - being worshippers of nature more than anything else. Further, I have never heard of a case of Wiccans harming anyone (not that this means the odd case may have come up but but as an example of causality it would be massively rarer than Christianity or Islam, for example).

Yay, someone else got it!

In the back of my mind, a little voice was saying "Blair's not a witch, she's a cat!" as I was searching for an image to post, but then I realized that probably reflects my position here pretty well: there are no real witches, just a lot of pussies hiding behind showmanship.
