What happened to the witches?
January 25, 2012 at 5:30 pm
I was curios as to what realization did people come to back in the witch hunting days that made them stop believing in witches? I know it had to have been a somewhat slow phase-out but the belief seems like it did end rather abruptly. I tried googling and I just couldn't find anything that discussed it. However, I was actually quite surprised how many people still believe this stuff based on my search results.
I was hoping to find something that will help the modern world wake up and grow up out of their fantasies.

The Enlightenment. But honestly, people still believe in witches - even in this country.

Who says they stopped believing in witches? In Africa, they still hunt down & kill children they suspect of being witches, and a few years back on another message board a fundie was claiming that there are witches everywhere.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

They claim it every Halloween and every time a metal song comes out.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

Yet another reason why religion should be repressed from power.
