Christian Bishop Cyril incited a mob against female mathematician and witch Hypatia of Alexandria. She was a brilliant Platonic philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician as well as the leading lecturer and librarian at the Library of Alexandria. She represented the highest standard of pagan knowledge at the time
Cyril's mob killed her bit by bit in the street by scraping off her flesh with sharpened clam shells, tore her apart, then burned the pieces. This happened in the month of March during Lent, in the fourth year of Cyril's episcopate, under the tenth consulate of Honorius, and the sixth of Theodosius.
That is what we do to witches. ALL women are witches and are deserving of the same fate. God's love be with you.
I think it is very sad that religions that say they are being persecuted persecute those who believe differently. Sabrina, of course, is purely fictional, but the religion of witchcraft, whatever form it comes in is an earth based religion based on love and respect for life. No one deserves to burn at the stake. Tolerance for others and allowing them to live their lives, to believe what they choose, and to walk within their gifting is necessary in this world today. What would it be like if we quit judging and started loving and reaching out to spread light instead of war, violence, hatred and cruelty in the name of religion. What if we stopped living within the box and spread it flat? What if we allowed those gifts that scared us to exist? Did not the same God who Christians say loves unconditionally give out each of these abilities? Would a God of unconditional love burn others at the stake or in hell? I don't think he or she/whether he/she be one or many would do such a thing.
Um... do you think that any religious (or non-religious) person should be put to death for the sakes of their beliefs (or lack of thereof...)?
Do you think it would be acceptable to trow Christians to lions and see what happens?
Do you think that torture and dismemberment of person of any religion is acceptable? Some stuff to ponder...
And.. no, I per SE am against ANY religious-based persecution...
