Christians Burning Witches

Jarod said:
The Gospels were written 30 years after the fact, based on events that occured without recorders, notes, videos... Nobody was taking notes as Jesus was giving the Sermon on the Mt. The accounts of Jesus's last three years are basically the memory of old men who all had personal adgenda's and subjective memories.

Hell, you cant get three eye witnesses to agree on how an accident took place three months ago, even after they review a written police report, or there own written statement.

They wrre not written by his contemporaries.

I made up nothing. I am referring to facts from the articles I sourced. You are attemtping to take parts of the text out of context in order to ignore the fact that this is a pervasive problem in these Christian nations/cultures.

Catholics have been debating about the use of the OT since the very beginning. Among the numerous heresies such as Arianism and Monophysitism, there was one that wanted to throw out the OT and just go with the Gospels and writings of the NT.

They weren't. The pretense that it is a certain is absurd as most scholars reject the idea.

???...the pretense is actually that "most scholars" reject it....I suggest you stop pretending you know anything about it......granted you can probably find a quote from some atheist who denies it, certainly Bruce would....but that means you should say "most idiots" rather than "most scholars".......

Bs. Few if any serious scholars believe they were written by contemporaries of Christ. Been over it before.

obviously you made up the "fact" that her attackers were Christians simply because 90% of the people were.....

Also, considering the prevalance and involvement of pastors in some of the sources provided its unreasonable to assume that none claiming the practice of christianity were involved.

Nope, look again at the claim i made in the op. Another one caught in a lie. I win, again!

??...you mean the OP in which the opening words are "Christians burning witches" even though the article says the people who burned her were teenagers high on drugs and a nun tried to stop it and the only "evidence" you have that the attackers were Christian is that 90% of the people in the country are Christian?.......yes, you're right.....you are another one caught in a lie......

Nothing wrong with the title. The fact that you suffer from a short attention span does not change the fact that I made it clear, right away, that I was making the point that these atrocities are happening in Christian nations. There is a widespread belief in sorcery there and that is not helped by a religion that validates such ridiculous beliefs and commands violent retaliation.

You continue to pretend that the one incident was the only one and now you are embellishing. The story said they were young men not necessarily teens. Look at the picture within the article of one gang and they are clearly not all teens. It does not say they were not Christian. Being high and young is not a religion. Even if we assume none of her attackers were Christian, many of the people that stood around watching this and the police that did nothing had to have been Christian.

You are just an over sensitive little twit unwilling to accept the fact that your fantasy life does not civilize you or anyone else.
