I didn't think anyone killed witches anymore, didn't you learn anything from the Salem witch trials?
Hey Christians, I'm a Christian and I've never killed a Witch, have you? *looks around*
No...didn't think so

In the narrow sense your question is a factual one, that can be answered by online research. If I say that I know of no Christians like that, and haven't read of anyone like that, it doesn't completely answer your question, does it?
Some other answers seem to taking it as true there are some Christians who deem it okay to kill witches and heathens. But that was precisely your question -- do such Christians exist? So those "answers" are not answering your question. They *assume* an answer and talk as if it is true.
Perhaps someone can post some *facts* about current-day Christians who say it's okay to kill witches and heathens, instead of assuming it's true and giving their opinions as if it is true.
The facts should also include some way to help tell whether and in what way the people are Christians. Not everyone who claims to be Christian is; not everyone whom others say is Christian is.

There has been quite a bit of discrimination against witches in the US recently, but not any actual witch killing.
You might as well be asking if any Heathens feel that throwing Christians to the Lions is a good thing to do.

American and European Christians got liberalized in the last few centuries, and they no longer observe the killing of non-believers or 'witches' or women who have a mole.
Most modern 'witch killings' are in Tanzania (44% Christian , 32% Muslim)
The modern Western version is to demonize gays and spread propaganda about the 'filthiness' of us. Some are still beaten to death for being gay. But we have secular law in America and Europe, so the killing and beating is still a considered a crime, but not the dissemination of lies, skewed statistics, and a full artillery of hateful propaganda.

Hardly. In the OT, they were trying to protect society, not the witches. And in the NT, Jesus doesn't say a word about witches. Killing them now is about as sensible as Muslims killing Infidels. Exactly HOW are the dead supposed to convert?????????

I've no idea. Maybe that's the concept within the Bible... luckily most Christians pick and choose enough that they never read "suffer not a witch to live".

I don't know of any...
Do some witches and heathens think that putting curses on Christians, or maybe using Christians for patio lights or kitty kibble might make them happy?
Just a thought...

True Christians wouldn't kill anyone. The Bible commands them not to, so they wouldn't kill.
I'm not a Christian, but I did read the Bible a little to study it, and went to a few church services when I was little. They wouldn't do that.

I'm sure some extremist nutjobs think that way, but I believe the majority of Christians just think we're deluded, or that we worship Satan, and are scared sh*tless of us.

Sadly many did think that it was right and even sadder is the fact that some Christians want to bring it back..
