Are you all truly so dense? Or did you ALL stop reading after I asked is she a witch, and thought it was an opportunity to pounce/rage against a theist for simply asking a question?
In my post I asked what if she was a witch? Not as a way to blame the victim but as a way to identify a prejudice. (In her community) That is why I paired it with the cop analogy. A witch is a profession like being a cop, like cops witches are not welcome in all neighborhoods. (Christian or not) If she knew that her profession carried a death sentence in a given community then why did she not avoid it? For unlike a cop her job does not require her to be in a given community.
My second point was despite her involvement, she was murdered. That said, why do you people not seek the individuals who committed this crime? Are you all so bigoted that you would condemn an entire community based on where these people live? Where does it stop? Skin color? Belief in God? Education? What really determines guilt in your self righteous minds? Just read your responses to me up till this point all of you have condemned their entire community! My question is did you all segregate by race? Belief? Education? Not being a 1st world country? What lead you all to condemn every member of a given community? And is this the same "morality" you use to condemn Christianity as a whole?

(Shake the dust from your feet and let your peace return to you and move on.) this means we are not obligated to stay where we are not welcome. I simply asked the question why did she?
In that case let's make this region one that burns Christians. Then by his own logic he would have no more reason to be Christian, or if he remains Christian it just suck to be him and we could roasted him slowly in front of a large mob engaged in sunday picnick without the lightest reason to fear disapprobation for the act. Either shorn of Christianity, or become roasted dog food, our drippy would be a better person than he is now.
