Harry: Witchsmeller, my dear, if you do happen to come across someone who's a bit -- you know, um -- witchy, how do you prove him guilty?
Witchsmeller: By trial or by ordeal.
Blackadder: Ah, the ordeal by water...
Witchsmeller: No, by axe.
Blackadder: Oh!
Witchsmeller: The suspected witch has his head placed upon a block, and an axe aimed at his neck. If the man is guilty, the axe will bounce off his neck, so we burn him; if he is not guilty, the axe will simply slice his head off.
Blackadder: What a very fair test that is.
"I'd prefer to bring back Xtian-v-Lion games at the local stadium. "
We cannot, in good conscious, subject lions to such unhealthy food.
We'll have to use hunter killer robot lions that just chew.
Okayyy... "bring back witch hunts, but without any actual witch hunting, because we are a) lazy and don't want to actually do anything but spout hate on the interwebs and b) we do realise these days witch hunts would look mighty absurd and uncivilised and we don't want to be associated with that sort of stuff. But we demand it anyway."
Basically, the same problem faced when people ask, where capital punishment is still used, "why can't we have public executions, for deterrency?" and get the answer "good heavens, we are not barbarians". Eh...
Yeah, because they worked so well the first time. Remember, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made out of wood, and therefore a witch!
Man, I love that bit...
Are you now, or have you ever been a Fundamentalist?
Oh, you mean real witches. Never mind.
So, so, so ... witch hunts!
What is wrong with you? Do you REALLY believe in WITCHES? Like, riding on broom sticks, dancing with the devil at full moon, hexing you, turning you into a frog? What the heck? There are meds for that, it's a mental disorder and I'm not judging you, but for "god's" sake, see a Dr.!!!!
Jesus pig-raping Christ.
Let's bring back the Holocaust, minus the brutal torture. WTF?
After you take away the brutal torture and twisted ideology, what is left????
So, you don't want to torture people? Just kill them?
Is that what passes for compassion among fundies?
When they said they would be armed with swords, I they mean Bibles. Bibles are usually referred as a sword.
I don't agree with bringing back witch hunts because the Pagans can always throw a Christian in a football stadium and sic a lion at em.

Witch-hunts? You do realise that the USA PATRIOT Act performs the same function, don't you? Oh, wait, you're a Rapture Retard; of course you don't.
"We have found a witch, may we burn her?"
"But how do you know she is a witch?"
"She turned me into a newt. It got better"
See, I always thought that these witch hunts, quite apart from being torture, rape and murder on the grounds of baseless superstition, were very illogical. I know that if I had command over the forces of magic I certainly wouldn't let myself get burnt by a bunch of primitive Christian fucktards.
How 17th century of you.
Idiot.

Yes, Sethola probably DOES believe in witches who can hex people. The chick tract, The Poor Little Witch, features a girl who invokes a demon to make another girl drop the ball during a basketball game. Not as impressive as turning someone into a frog, but it's the same principle: they do in fact believe that witches can affect people through occult means.
I say you leave people of other religions alone.
Seriously, you wouldn't like it if someone else did that to you.
I say we bring back heretic hunts, minus the brutal torture, just armed with Fire and Faith.
Fxd...
And to paraphrase Mrs Whiteadder
"Cold is just God's way of telling us we need to burn more dispensationalist premillenialists"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
