shouldn't everything be spelled the same as everything else? Then we wouldn't have to read!
Look - we use these symbols called "letters" to form "words" which are all different from each other and the "letters" tell us how! That's how we know a pigeon that says "coo" isn't a revolutionary. If you don't get that joke, I am even more sorry for you than I was when I first read your question. Millions of elementary school teachers are rolling over in their graves right now! Argh!

Though it "sounds" the same? If it were spelled the same and used in a letter written to someone, well it might get a bit confusing, and ever so slightly offensive to a reader without an open mind.

No. Different words for different expressions. How (else) would you/we know the difference when writing which which? Which one? Witch? Witch witch? Which what? What witch? What? which? See, now were already all confused! Let that be self explanatory.

No, they are too different words with different meanings. It's confusing when words that mean different things are spelled the same way. Wind the window down, so the wind can come in. for example.

The English language is a mess. There are so many words that could be spelled similar to the way they sound. Why should they make things easy on us. ;-)

No because one referrs to the religion and one is a noun.
It's like saying two an to should be spelled the same.

No. They mean two completely different things, and their roots are radically different.
Which comes from Middle English hwelc, meaning "kind" or "form."
Witch comes from Middle English wicche, meaning "wizard."

No!!! Sounds like you may be a lazy person or just have no concept of language -- all language. Language is extremely interesting.
Look up LANGUAGE in WIKIPEDIA you may enjoy it, two or to or too!
