Christian militias in Central African Republic burnt witches

"Context" is a codeword for placing whatever fucking spin that religious apologists wish. For other parts of the bible, the literal meaning is insisted on, because, after all, its the "word of god"

Superstitious hogwash, the lot of it...

PS - I already acknowledged that, of course, in today's world the exhortations to violence in the Koran are acted on much more than similar exhortations in the bible. The point, which you do not seem to grasp, is that the problem is not so much the words in the holy writings, but whether, in a particular place and time, they are either acted on, or quietly ignored.

But the words remain...

It's not the words that are the problem, it's what people do with them, and Christians don't kill people using those words as an excuse.

I know this guy, I'll call him Beth. Beth is a real retard. He just can't understand cause and effect. People I know have been explaining this simple thing to Beth for as long as I've known him - some considerable years - but he never seems to understand. Sometimes people would get mad at Beth because they didn't believe anyone could be so stupid. They believed he must be trying to get under their skin with a show of willful stupidity. I believe, however, that Beth is mentally ill. I think Beth started out simulating ignorance as a way of insulating himself against his real ignorance. I think Beth was aware that people were catching on to this tactic he used to insulate himself against ignorance and started up a new simulation - he simulated being ignorant of simulating ignorance to mask his ignorance. Beth might have simulated ignorance so well that he became ignorant of his simulated ignorance. Beth might have become what is known in psychology circles as a 'recursive retard'. A hyperreal simulation of a retard - a retard more retarded than retarded. Forever unable to grasp cause and effect - Beth has become ignorant unto himself and attacks the community he once sought to foster his own growth. The community that tolerated this retard named Beth, even suffering a schism for his sake, is now vilified. Fortunately, Beth is largely ignored, or used for the sake of amusement. No one takes the opinions of Beth very seriously. Beth is more a caricature of a person. Beth likes to pretend this is purposeful, but Beth forgets he's done this before and Beth forgets he's dealing with people who are not retards. Beth forgets because he is a real retard. Because Beth is a 'recursive retard'. Beth will never not be retarded - he will be forever ignorant of his ignorance. His simulation of ignorance to mask ignorance and the subsequent simulations of ignorance of the initial simulation have taken their toll. There is no way back to reality for Beth. Beth is a dangerous man. A man out of touch with reality like Beth is capable of believing almost anything. Beth is capable of attacking almost anyone - even people who have tried to help him for years.

Poor Beth. What a retard.

Anyway.. nothing to do with anyone and definitely NOT a personal attack.

Sure it is, it's the reflection of yourself that you see in the mirror but are incapable of recognizing, Beth.

No True Christian, eh? Religious fanatics are all cut from the same cloth. I'm absolutely certain that the evangelicals would have no problem at all rounding up atheists, muslims, jews, et. al. and popping them in ovens. Read The Hanmade's Tale, it's not far fetched if the Soldiers For Jebus get control.

Of course no true African would do this.
These are foreign ideas brought in by missionaries.

A true African would never burn anyone as it ruins the flavour,.

I have heard that human meat is very rare in Africa.

That's why they get prion disease and e-coli, human meat should always be cooked well done.
