You seem to think otherwise...maybe your morality is evolving, after all? For clarity..is it that you disagree with your god on the subject of the existence of witches, or that you disagree with your god on how dickish we should be to them?
Oh no! With your observation that the NT still considers "magic arts" a sin --in a list that includes sexually immoral, murder, idolatry and lying, I have been enlightened! Wow. I now officially conceded that the NT commands Christians to kill witches along with...well, every other person on the planet. Good find.
I will say you are a master of making peanut-gallery comments that have no logical connections--but probably seem compelling to those who need the echo chamber to help them feel secure in their house of cards.
Or are you looking for an excuse to sin and ignore magic book when it inconveniences your modern, secular, moral sensibilities and less than biblically credulous idea of whether or not old hags fly the night on greased broomsticks?
Your frustration seems to be misplaced, aimed at me. I'm not the one that told you there were witches, that witches should be killed, that witchcraft was immoral, and sinful, and that they would be left out to the ravages of the endtimes come that glorious day. That'd be your god. So..take it up with him, next time you two have a little chat? He's either right about all of that..or he's making you seem like a fool.
