Is killing a witch always a bad thing?
October 27, 2013 at 12:31 pm
More than likely if your coming into this thread to answer this question yes,(it is always wrong to kill a witch) you are probably working under the assumption that all practitioners of witchcraft are benign, misunderstood people.
In the Spirit of Halloween the family and I like to watch scary movies and the two new ones we've seen are "the conjouring" and the new rob zombie Salem witch/Rose Mary's baby cross over thing. Both with out giving anything away had to do with witches/people who acted on the behalf of demonic forces. Killing, tormenting, and feeding off of others. This was done for the most part supernaturally. So part one of my question is if you and your family were being tormented as these two movies depict would you be justified in killing a witch in this day and age? What about 2 to 3 hundred years ago?
Second part what if a group of witches were tormenting, killing members of your family or pets and generally feeding off of the torment and terror they visited upon you using non supernatural means? Again in this day and age or what about 200 years ago?
In short where does the modern sense of morality draw the line, or is their no line because the desire to be politically correct has one negate common sense/self defense because these people gather and worship under a P/C protected religion?

Baseless emotive language aside, I'd remind you that we already have laws in place for self defense, although they might run into trouble dealing with a witch since witchcraft doesn't exist, and it's for that reason that I hope to fuck this is just a hypothetical you're doing, and not something you think is likely to happen.

Google it, Witchcraft is a real religion, albeit very benign today. A few hundred years ago it was the only real option to Christianity in the west. It's practitioners did all sorts of terrible things in the name of satan. Whether satan endowed those people with powers or not the underlying fact is that much torment and destruction was doled out in his name. Much like the crusades or inquisitions.
That in mind the question stands how much would it take to kill someone else who was trying to worship their deity by tormenting you/your family?

Witchcraft is no more real than god. Those who practice witchcraft delude themselves into thinking that the magic they perform is real.

OK - this is one weird question.
I suppose the answer is another question:
"Is killing a Christian always a bad thing?"
Whatever you answer to the above holds for the witch.

Ah, a true thinker amongst the rabble. This was going to lead eventually to what is to happen to Christianity as per the book of revelation.

I get that witchcraft is a real religion, in the same sense that christianity is; they both have untenable beliefs that don't match with reality. I was asking whether you were posing your hypothetical as a literal magical assault, or a physical one done under the auspices of a religious witchcraft ritual.
The former obviously isn't going to happen, and as for the latter, that's what laws are for. We've had self defense clauses in our laws for ages; why would a witchcraft based assault be any different from a regular one?
Pointy hat aside, that is.
