There are even Christians who practice witchcraft. Witches are just the same as anyone else; and their form of healing is just an alternative therapy that differs from the mainstream. Accupunture, herbalism (prounounced with the h sound) etc, are all forms of alternative therapy and medicine; so why should witchcraft be treated as 'Satanic'? Methinks those who want to outlaw the practice of it and other pagan rituals haven't come out of the Dark Ages, an are still practicing the Inquisition. Eh Raggy? And BTW, Can you please give us an OPINION and not a parable.

Well, I know the bible specifically says that you should kill witches, so I predict his opinion is going to be a mix of that and something about forgiveness.

Edit: either that or that alternative medicine isn't really witchcraft.

Those who voted were just making fun of the thread, plain and simple. Regardless of whether or not it was intended to be serious, this thread certainly presents itself in a non serious manner.

The old or the new testament? If it's the old testament, it's been superseded by the new testament. If Raggy is so forgiving, why condemn harmless women to eternal fire and damnation.

I noted Raggy said in another thread that he didn't like others to spoil his joy in being saved. Well, if he is so happy, why does he make so many bitter and condemnatory comments about others who don't think like him? I am just wondering.....

The old testament, in the same section that says you should kill gay men (it never says anything about women), adulterers (later on contradicted by Jesus), and anyone who works on the Sabbath (Saturday for Jews, Sunday for Christian).
