Drich, if witches exist, and have existed for millenia, why is it that modern science finds no evidence of magical powers?
Why do you automatically assume all witches powers come from magic?
In just about every 'fairy tale' account witches are protrayed as some type of 'fringe bio chemist.' witches brew, leg of toad, eye of newt...
Last year when I visited a witch shope in New Orleans everything was potion based. or some combination of talisment and ritual.
Their effectivness, nor the means in which a witch
does what they do is of any real consenquence. It is the psycological aspect that makes people believe a witch to be a witch.Not to mention you seriously over looking the whole religious aspect tied to witchcraft. Where people act and practice religious rituals.. Are they not to be considered witches? (Even though they claim this title for themselves?) Do you not see the irony here?

Since your god doesn't actually say how to kill a sorceress, you have to admit, burning seems to be the preferred method for Christians, ie. this recent case in Papua New Guinea and the Salem Trials.Did Equlax pass the Bigot torch to you now? Because as I have pointed out maybe 10 or 15 times in this thread, that burning nor even killing anyone is a christian act/ form let alone a santified biblical form of worship.
Again your examples are of wicked men using religion as an unjustified excuse to release the evil they have in their hearts onto another person.
We know this to be true because in ACTS 8 Peter encounters a witch and does not burn or kill them. He leads the man to repentence and that man becomes a deciple of peter.
Quote:As far as witchcraft actually even existing... really? That's the best you've got? You have the burden of proof. You are the one making the claim witches exist. Come on, Drich, you have enough experience on this board to know that.You should know that I do not leave loose ends even if it looks like I did:
