Bondman;
The trouble is..it does not put things in perspective:
First, because many tens of thousands of "witches" were killed by "Christians"
Two, because Christians have a higher calling than atheists and any historic transgression is much more grievous than the sins of the unbeleivers.
Three, because it appears that we have people on this board who are trying to soft-pedal this historic transgression and make it appears either as legitimate or very rare.
During the Reformation times, witch burning was not common - yet, it occurred more frequently than what we would like to admit.
