Answer 2

This puts a song into my head..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forget not the days of old
And recall the stories told
Of the burnings and the screams
Do they ever haunt your dreams?
There was a time when freedom died
It was an age of genocide
The Inquisition at the door
The Church of Rome in a holy war
They broke freedom on the wheel
In the madness of their zeal
In the shadow of their wake
The innocent burning at the stake
Children resist a return to the burning times
People be wise to the power of their lies
Be not fooled as those who were fooled before
Children, oh children, be free, be wild
They came to bring the ‘good news’
To burn witches, pagans, Jews
Said they were the Shepherd’s sheep
Whipped old women through the streets
Then the turning of the tide
From the truth they could not hide
Now the darkest age has passed
The Goddess has returned at last!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never again..

Answer 3

Christian should be in quotes, like "christian" fanatics, to separate the fanatics in question from the "athiest", "muslim", and "hindu" fanatics.

All such people are sickos, interested more in political power and possession of land, instead of God. Their "religion", whatever it is, is merely an excuse. Whitewash over a coffin, to make it look like a sofa. It doesn't change the filth that is inside!

Answer 4

You bet they would. In fact, they are working very hard to achieve that right now... and come election day, they are likely to be much closer to their goal. Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, Theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.

Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”

They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.

Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.

All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."

By failing to openly confront this insidious agenda, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious wing-nuts are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

Answer 5

I have met a couple who have said they would love it if the US would pass a law allowing them to carry out their God's orders and kill all "witches" (of course, witch includes pagans, whether they use witchcraft or not). It would eventually boil down to "Anyone not a Christian will be put to death... but Jesus loves you".

Good to see you again. *_*

Answer 6

I think that any fanatic would. That's kinda what a fanatic is, no?

Although the religion tends to be an excuse really... most religions specifically state never to do that.

Answer 7

I think Druids and pagans should have killed all the cristians when they had the chance. Instead the christians took over all the pagan holidays and drove the old religion underground.

Answer 8

you remember the witch trials?
you mean you learned about them don't you?
and yes i believe many of them would do it all over again.
if you want to have your way be the one and only truth then you need to get rid of all opposing ideas and thoughts.
once this is done then your truth would be the only truth as there would be no one to disagree with you.

Answer 9

As long as people still believe that the bible is God's word and that it is his command, then yes, witchs will still suffer.

Until everyone relized that it doesn't matter WHAT you believe but THAT you believe, there will not peace in this world, for anyone regardless of their religion.

Answer 10

Given that Christians have still been trying to live down the bad PR from that centuries later, certainly not.
