Question from a witch.

[EddietheLezbowitch]

Hi! My name's Eddie, and I'm new to these forums. I am not a Christian, but I'm very interested in Christ, the Bible, and the thoughts of Christians in America. I have a question for any pastors who would like to answer it. If I am going to hell (for practicing witchcraft, for being a homosexual, for all of my other sins, etc.) then why would a Christian prosecute me for these things? Would the more appropriate response be not pity? Has not God already lined up the heaviest punishment available for me?
I appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. I understand that my very presence here is controversial and somewhat forward, and that the issues I have brought up are very complicated, and in the end, beyond the capacity of all men or women to know. Thank you for reading.

Re: Question from a witch.

Why did your parents give you a boys name? Surely a witch deserves a wicked name that is more gender appropriate.

Witch refers to a male or a female. Warlock means traitor, not a male witch.

Maybe we just call her Esmerelda or something. I don't like calling girls "Eddie", even if they're witches.

Haha, because I am male. Some witches choose to give themselves more appropriate names which call upon elements of nature or God, such as plant names, animal names, or names associated with the Light of the Lord or the Grace of the Goddess. Ed is a nickname derived from my full name which I am very grateful to my parents for. I have chosen not to give myself a witchcraft name, and I am not comfortable posting my full name on the internet.

Wow. I knew witches were evil but I didn't know they were stupid too.

Plant names? Most of them probably go by Reefer Madness.

That would be a strange choice. Witches choose new names for themselves, almost never while rejecting their given names, for the purpose of fully immersing their identities in their new relationship with God. Some of the most common names include Ivy, Rose, or Daisy for those who favor plant energy. Many call themselves Raven, which I think has been over-used, but the raven seems to call to many, many witches. :/ Or they will try to pick a name with a deeper, more subtle connection. For example, a witch who is trying to follow the path of light and right action may begin to call himself Luke, a name with origins in the original word for "light." Others will not choose a name, but pray until God gives them a special word. Many witches keep it private, between themselves and God.

Who are you trying to kid? GOD tells us not to suffer a witch to live. HE doesn't care what kind of hippie name you use, you're still on your way to Hell.

God specially demands we execute witches were ever we find them (Exodus 22:18-19) Anyway since as The Bibles tells us the blood split of those execute for breaking God's laws is upon the law breakers we persecute no one. You witches persecute yourselves.

From a practical stand point we have to protect our community. From you logic we should also allow serial killers, rapists and Democrats to wander around hurting people because God will punish them in the hereafter for their crimes.

OH, no no no no. I don't think that murderers or rapists should go without punishment! The difference there is that as a witch, I practice my craft privately and do not seek to have any effect on Christians, their communities or freedoms or anything. I don't know of any witches who do, except perhaps to pray for peace between Christians or bring blessings upon all people.

A rapist or killer, well, rapes or kills! A society cannot hold together under threat of such horror! My craft, in comparison, has almost no effect on society. I may on occasion educate about the craft, but I would never do so unsolicited, nor would I seek to convert anyone or invade their freedom to live the lives they want to, as long as they pay me the same respect, of course.

Now you sound like you are in the Illuminati.
Did you mean you want to be enlightened perhaps?

Really? You don't think eating our babies has any effect on our communities?

You evade the point; my religion requires me to persecute you as a homosexual. The only way for their to be peace and understanding is for Christians to apostate their faith and accept damnation.

Do you think that is fair friend?

Haha, no, I am not in the Illuminati. I meant illuminate in the sense of shining a light. I would like to become enlightened, and by sharing my opinions and knowledge in a courteous manner to aid in the enlightenment of others, if I can.
