Many still do...in their hearts. And according to Christian scripture, that's equal to doing the deed.

Thank the Goddess they don't, But as you can see there are still a few close-minded ignorant people who believe only in what they have been told by the Fundies or what they read in a book full of fallacies who would still like to see us burn.
Yes, I am a Witch! We don't recognize the existance of demons or the devil, so how could we worship something that isn't? Evil exists, that is a given, but it is of MAN not of nature. Doing anything even remotely evil goes against our principles. We do our best for humanity and the environment. If we were being influenced or led by the devil, why would he teach us how to use healing herbs and why would he want us to advocate saving the earth? Why would he want us to use our very being to help others? Doesn't that sound more like of "God" than of "Satan"? Can we be so mislead that we spend our entire lives doing good things for people & nature and helping in any way that we can that we are actually doing the work of the "devil"?!? Get real.
I also suggest you stop using aspirin (willow bark), valium (valerian), digitalis (foxglove) plus inummerable other "drugs" because they are based on herbal knowledge (which is one of our specialties). And I don't think you will find them in the bible either! And Please! Don't get a mid-wife to bring you child into the world, because that is another practice attributed to witches! Oh! Don't forget aromatherapy! Don't forget that the field of medicine was also originated by witches if you want to get down to basics. The cadeuces (the medical symbol) is ancient Celtic in origin, it is 2 serpents entwined on a staff signifying knowledge & wisdom. I am sure that is not in the bible either!!! Especially since the actual symbol predates Christ.
Witchcraft is not evil and has absoloutly nothing to do with Satan, and if people would open their minds and hearts and books (other than the bible) they would see this.
Sorry for the ranting, but sometimes the Religious Reich gets to me.
By the way, if a person sank they were innocent, only witches floated!

Heh heh, don't think there aren't many Christians who'd love to still get away with that sh**. I once had a Christian preacher (he wasn't anything so dignified or educated as a minister) tell me all Pagans like me should be rounded up into camps and killed, and he was serious. I said, Seig Heil, brother, and walked away.

The Sermon on the Mount tells ye that if it' in your heart then you are guilty of it already

Christians never did those things. those things were done in Christianity's name.
Right now only Radical Islam burns, hangs, beats, kills, maims, and mutilates those that do not believe the way they do. These things are done not just in Islams name them are done in it's practice.

No True Christian has ever murdered they would allow themselve to be crucified, tortured ,stoned, and beaten for they are saved but if they take up arms to kill you in your state of iniquity where would you go to..Therefore in hopes ye may repent one day before you die..Ye may murder me
