Woman burned alive for 'sorcery' in Papua New Guinea

But that is exactly what it means. If troop of girl scouts decides to break off from the offical organization, and sell their own brand of cookies, wear different uniforms, rewrites it own rules and bi-laws, are they still to be considered 'Girl Scouts?' What if they still identify themselves by that name? What if a 37 year old man wanted to call himself a girl scout? Does it make him one? In a word, no.

You still haven't demonstrated to us why your special blend of religion, which ignores all the rules you don't feel like following, is the definitive version. Please do this, before you keep on brashly telling us which groups aren't following proper christian etiquette.

If you can't, then all your assertions boil down to are the rantings of a blowhard with no authority of his own.

Why? Because there are rules that one must fall under to be considered apart of an organization. You all have been arguing the 'No true scotsmen fallacy' against Christianity so long unchecked you actually believe it. What your arguement does not take into consideration is the fact that Christianity is a organization like any other. As such there are rules and regs that determine who and what are christian. If this group who calls themselves christians does X and X is not a 'sanctioned' Christian behaivor, then its real simple. those who do X do not do it under or for Christianity.

Except no one denomination of christianity can quite agree on what those rules are, and you in particular don't seem to match with any of those sects completely. So, again I ask you: why is your specific version of christianity the only right and correct one? You never seem to answer this question.

Should Christianity also be responsiable for those people getting the witch hunters high/drunk before sending them out, when clearly Murder is a sin, Drinking, and doing Drugs is a sin?

The Christian Faith has already condemned every part of what these people have done. what more is their to do?

To demonstrate that I don't have a bias in this, at least not one that affects my argument, I will give the Catholic church- and I think the Pope but I can't say for sure just off the top of my head- props for urging sanctions against witchcraft when it causes demonstrable human harm, where those sanctions didn't seem violent themselves. I hope.

I can explain it to the "educated," the problem is the 'educated' think the know better, and ignore what has been explained:
The bible repersents 2 Different religions. Judism, and Christianity. These are divided by what are known as covenants or "testaments." The Old Testament refers to Judaism, and The New Testament refers to all things Christian.

Done..

Congrats, you've spouted your opinion once again. Now show us why you're credible.

Actually no. The Evil will try and use 'religion' to mask the evil in their hearts. This is the lesson History teaches. This is the lesson Christ taught. One does not have to be uneducated to be Evil.

It's also a very good way to make good people do bad things, by tricking them into believing they're doing good things.
