Lol. So wait, witches absorbed hallucinogens through their lady bits via brommsticks? And witches are rumored to be wicked, seductive, and promiscuous? And witches have been fighting Christians for hundreds of years using powerful magic? And their only crimes are. . . hating Christianity and siding with the devil? A devil who, we have previously established, did nothing wrong except go against god- a god who murders non-believers and children.

I honestly don't understand why the fundies hate witches. They seem amazing. Where can I find a real witch? Anyone? Love

Well this is interesting. What's even funnier is that the Christians were on the losing end of intellect even then; they saw or heard of a witch 'riding' a broom and apparently couldn't figure out why, even when simply tasked with 'reverse engineering' the reason instead of trying to discover it on their own. So we end up with even more superstitions now.
