Split Rock
Conflation of Blathers
Sounds like a good part of the Middle Ages in Europe... when the Church was at the apex of its political power.... doesn't it?

Like I'm fond of saying, if you guys ran the world like you interpret the Scriptures, we would be either burning at the stake, hanging from a rope, serving as slaves, or hiding in fear of our lives.
--- Bingo!
Were those women in 1692 murdered or executed?
In your opinion.
I say put them in a foxhole --- the agnostic would probably convert first, the atheist shortly thereafter.

Fair enough --- so if you were in charge of running the world, and you ran it according to the Bible --- you would demand that witches be burned?

Hmmm... Would you say that if I believe that fairies (The fey people) do not exist, that such a position constitutes a Faith with a doctrine all its own?
I've participated for the past ten months in a long conversation with an atheist dying by inches of cancer, and well aware that he was going to die. He died last week, a good man, loved and liked, and at no point did he convert or consider converting, nor did he ask for prayers, and accepted people saying they would pray for him politely, as one does if offered any kind of good wishes.
If that isn't an example of your proverbial 'atheist in foxhole', I don't know what is.
Simply put, I would not run a world according to the bible. EVER. I love this world too much.
Fair enough --- same question to you, then:
If you ran the world according to the Bible, would you demand the execution of witches?

I wonder what your friend would add to this thread from the afterlife?
Your answer doesn't fit the question, Hespera.For my opinion anyone killed in the name of god, the bible, religion in general was murdered. The bible is full of it. You tell me if they were all murdered or executed.
the fact he has not, tells more then your willing to wonder.I wonder what your friend would add to this thread from the afterlife?
This is not about what I would or would not say. The dictionaries are clear enough.
However, if there were such a thing as afeyism, then yes.That would be a position that asserts that fairies do not exist; and doctrine could be formulated from such a belief.
Meanwhile atheism is well defined; you can check for yourself.
Then, in your opinion, it was done in spite of the Bible --- wasn't it?Personally I would consider they were murdered.
Not if it was murder --- the Bible does not justify murder.However, at the time their deaths were executions justified by scripture.
That doesn't explain the 19 women who were hanged.A witches' body needed to be purified by fire or else their soul would be lost forever.
A man 'dying by inches of cancer', hoping that the next treatment will cure him, and a man in a foxhole, wondering what's keeping him alive, are two different things.If that isn't an example of your proverbial 'atheist in foxhole', I don't know what is.
A lot of stuff runs on that "fallacy" --- legal tender, science, generic vs brand products.... I smell a "no True Scotsman" fallacy at the end of this particular discussion...
In your opinion, were those women who died in 1692 executed or murdered?The 10 commandments say do not murder. yet the ot is full of murder. Try as you might, Killing little children to save them from sin is not moral. It says do not murder, yet it also says witches must die. And please arguing that die and murder are not the same things in these contexts is really un becoming of honestly.
