if we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it

@Glovefullavasoline Wow. I just knew there would be ONE sexist comment. It never fails. Your logic is that because one woman over 300 years gained a female following, then it's proof that ALL women desire forbidden knowledge? If your going to try and put women in a box and generalize about them, provide some psychological reference and FACTS rather than misplaced confidence in the superstitions of centuries-old religious bigots.

now that i think about it abgail williams andd the group could have just stopped at tituba the lie would cease so they ddidnt get punished and evrything would have returned to normal but no they kept naming more n more they mst have gone insane by the power they were given by the court "to cleanse the village" we all know power corrupts the moral being ver much they start obbseesing about it and anything that becomes a threat to the power they have is immediatly condemned thosegirls are bitches

I'm a Wiccan, and the Salem Witch Trials happen to be my favorite historic event. And as a side-note, males practice Wicca too. They're called "witches" as well. Not "warlocks". I love it, because just like any other religion that was established years ago, if it didn't include god as the ONLY person you worshiped, you were either possessed by the devil, or sentenced to death. It's ridiculous.

witch or no witch, they should not have murdered. In the end, God will judge.

Sometimes I wonder if Tituba was just being really sarcastic. Like in an airport, security to a old feeble woman "Are you carrying any weapons, ma'am?" and she says "Oh yeah, I got an M16 in my sock, an RPG in my sock and that kitten I'm travelling with? She's actually a claymore, and my faux-pearl earrings are actually Semtex granades."
