Is killing a witch always a bad thing?

[Drich]

I'm hoping this was Drich's idea of a joke. It's not easy to tell; one kind of belief in magic vs. another after all.

Not a joke, just some topical Halloween discussion as per the op.

I'm not too worried about anyone using witchcraft on my family since I have no reason to think such a thing would be worth a single concern.

Now, if someone came barreling into my front door trying to kill us all with like, weapons and shit, I'd be pretty pissed. Killing those intruders would not necessarily be a bad thing since there is a real threat and we have a will to survive.

What if they did all that in the name of witchcraft?

Oh yey! A Drich thread!

The question should not be whether it would be bad to kill a witch, rather would it be acceptable to kill someone who is tormenting your family. The person could be atheist and if she tried to torture my family, she's dead.

Now if you want to ask me... Ivy, but say it was clear that it was not natural what was being done? I'd question if I was sane. I'd question what was in my dinner. I'd question my medication if any. I'd question. Unless there was no time and my family and I could die. Kill now, face institution later. Self defense, self defense, self defense.

I have seen and heard a lot about things that seem not natural, but as I said to a friend earlier this week: The fact that I don't know does not lead me to say "therefore, god", or in this case, witch.

So self defense is ok even if your are being tormented in the name of satan?

I think it's fair to say that the general consensus is that whether or not someone is a witch is irrelevant when discussing the morality of killing

Edited due to appalling sentence structure

Now that the morality of killing a witch has been put aside, would you then go after or hunt a witch? What would it take to get to that point?
