Really? Can you name that place? Can you document that people were killed for not being Christian?

Maybe in 1800.
You're 16. If I venture to guess you will be over this sort of stuff by the time you've matured into an adult. I've had friends who thought they were "witches".

May I suggest you more thoutoughly research "the burning times"? I think you will find that whilst there where cases of persicution, they were not as wide spread as people have been lead to think.
TWF Magazine is working on an article on this very issue, one of the most famous with trials in the North east of England was falsified about 12 years ago when it was discovered that the judge said to have condemed 250 women to death for witchcraft actualy died 3 years before the trial was said to have occured. Once people began to look into it they discovered the birth rate had not altered in the town, so that any such mass slaughter of women was unlikly. Death records were also not found.
That has proven to be the case tiem and time again.
Witches were persecuted by Christians, no question about it, but not to the extent common misconception claims.
And please don't say "most" Christians hate wiccans, its not true. Some do, not most.

A very good site, and before anyone goes off at half [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] and calls it a chrisitna hate site, its actualy produced by pagans who know their religion and are sick of it being misrepresented by people who profess to be part of it but don't know much about it.

I don't hate wiccans. I don't agree with the religion, but I don't "hate" Wicca.
I most certainly would NOT condone executing people for being Wiccans.

I dont hate pagans i hate paganism! Christians should not love evil it says "Ye that love the LORD, hate evil" in Ps. 97:10 we should be tollerant not accepting. If you play with fire your gonna get burnt. We should love but not join them, care for them but not praise them. If you think i am unkind and not accepting why dont I let satan go with me every were i go b/c he is evil and comes only to stell,kill and destroy. Sure not all pagans are out to kill everyone but what they do is wrong and against the Word of God.
Ex 22:18Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Deu 18:20
Lev. 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit , or that is a wizard , shall surely be put to death : they shall stone them with stonestheir blood [shall be] upon them.
Just a few, there are many more

Interestingly, those are all Old Testament examples. The Mosaic Law was fulfilled by Jesus, and the Mosaic Law no longer applied. The Ten Commandments still apply, but not the Mosaic Law. Is there anything in the New Testament that says a witch should be killed?

Sorry i didnt put out the whole Strong's concordance.Hitokiri Shadow said:
[not New Testament]1Sa 15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft , and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry . Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD , he hath also rejected thee from [being] king
Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedition, heresies,
Envyings, murders,drunkenness, revellings, and such like : of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall noy inherit the kingdom of God.
Just b/c Jesus forfilled the law doesnt mean we should forsake the law.

If you accept the Bible as the Word of God then yes I am sure I am right. For the LORD God of Israel, the God of Jacob and Abram hath said it is wrong and not well with God so this is how i know i am right.cabbitgrrrl said:are you sure that pagans are wrong and you are right?

In the above verse 'witchcraft' and 'hatred' are right next to one another. If witchcraft is a punishable offense then what of hatred (e.g. those who would burn witches)??? What of strife (depression, anxiety, fear)? Envy? Drunkeness?? They are all in the same catagory to God. The point is, all of these sins are punishable by death. But not by the judgement of humans upon each other, but by God. EVERY SINGLE human alive has committed at least one of the sins mentioned above. Not one person is innocent among us. Those people that practiced the burning of the witches were just as guilty as those they accused, and history has judged them as ignorant and afraid. We should learn from these mistakes and practice tolerance and love unless WE are the ones judged ignorant for our condemnation of others.

The reason why Christians hate your religion is because it is a lie by the Devil. You help spread the word of Satan who is the father of all lies.cabbitgrrrl said:seems to be a christian trend, they cant stand pagan religions appearantly

We as christians don't hate you as a mortal human being. We hate your filthy paganism and witchcraft. We know that what you do is evil and wicked. That is why we can have no tolerance for it. The real question is are you ready to change. Are you ready to clean up your life and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. That is what you should be asking rather than why am I persecuted.wiccan_woman_of_goddess said:Why did that have to happen and if all you christians had the choice would you do it again.
