Yeah, "religion" is that, no doubt, but the Biblical revelation is not religion, it's the supernatural gift of the true God which can save us from all that stupid tribalism.

It might help to get this witch thing into some perspective. There was a grand total of 19 "witches" killed in the hysteria in Massachusetts, as compared with hundreds upon hundreds killed in Europe through the Middle Ages by the Catholic Church. In Massachusetts it WAS hysteria, brought about by the overactive imaginations of some teenagers, in Europe it was organized persecution. In Massachusetts the clergy brought it to an end. In Europe nobody brought it to an end. Neither was a good thing, but please consider that the differences do make a difference.Also in Massachusetts they were hanged, not burned, although one poor man was killed by the weight of heavy stones. Others were kept in prison but finally released.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
