"During the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials of 1692, 13 women were executed." http://www2.ari.net/rjohnson/articles/FEAR.MUP.html

I remember reading somewhere that this wasn't witches at all. It was Christian women who caught the elite using witchcraft and they were burned at the stake instead.

Yeah, and the inquisition was actually a bunch of Jews dressed as Christians torturing the real Christians who found out they were really Jews in disguise.

Makes just as much sense.

And the Native Americans were practicing genocide on Gawd-fearing Christians, forcing them into boarding schools, making them cut their hair, scrubbing them down with bleach, and forbidding them to speak English.

"I remember reading somewhere"

Try reading again someday. If you ever saw that you misread it or the source was religious blame-switching

And tens of thousands of Jews decided to play a big trick on the world by all going down into these secret underground tunnels, and leaving some of their possessions in concentration camps and bribing Nazi officers with money to lead the world into believing that they had been killed in the camps. Right.

And if you hadn't read this, you would believe they really were witches?

I bet everyone in Salem were Christian in 1692, so yes, the women who were burned were also Christian. But no, they weren't witches.

There were no burnings in Salem. 19 were hanged and one died under interrogation when weights were piled on top of him. I would advise you to do some reading on the subject, but some how I don't see that happening.

Well, I believe this has a nugget of truth under the turd of stupidity, as it were.

These women (and at least one man I think) were accused of witchcraft partially because they were enemies of a certain group of elite.

But it most certainly wasn't because they caught the elite performing witchcraft.

And by the way, those elite were church elders. Y'know, with authority of the lord as your rulers type.

Since I've discovered this websibe about 8 years ago I think I've seen about forty attempts to excuse the Salemites of their primitive Christian bullshit. It was a religious commune, ruled by church elders, it was a Christian sect like most the death cults that have arose over the past fifty years.

Those fucks were pushed out of Europe for just that shit and it took years for American law to grow enough to stop it there.

Sensible people wouldn't defend them.

Actually, they believe that the "witches" were people that consumed bread that was made with grain that has a mold spore on it that cause hallucinations.

Nobody was burned at the stake in Salem. If you can't even get that right, why should anyone listen to your lies?
