Accuse their neighbors of not being Christians so they could murder them?

In a way, I suppose witchcraft is un-Christian. It appears that the the
poor saps may just have been the victims of eating ergot-infected rye
bread, causing hallucinations and strange behavior.

They didn't read the first amendment I guess.

That's not uncommon.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Belief in anything else is Unchristian, it will get you persecuted
even today!

I guessed he wouldn't know that! I was right! &gt

Actually there were no Wicca's (witches in Christian speak) in
Salem. They didn't come to America till much later.

BTW:
The Wicca 'Read is "Do what you will, do no harm."
Not exactly evil sounding.

The Salem "Witch Trials" occurred before there was a Constitution...

A small girl fell sick in 1692. Her “fitts”—convulsions, contortions,
and outbursts of gibberish—baffled everyone. Other girls soon
manifested the same symptoms. Their doctor could suggest but one
cause. Witchcraft.

That grim diagnosis launched a Puritan inquisition that took 25 lives,
filled prisons with innocent people, and frayed the soul of a
Massachusetts community called Salem.

Yes Jim, I know the story (history) well. I presume you intended
to inform those who have a problem with history and rational
thought.

The history of Salem is an excellent example of the value of
extremism in the Christian faith.

Note however, the last witch burning was in Africa in 1995.
While Salem is history, the persecution is still going on!

AAUI, Massachusetts didn't ratify the first ten Amendments until
1939.

Massachusetts is so backward they still re-elect Ted Kennedy every
six years.
