The innocent women of Salem

In America, Christians used to burn people to death for not being Christians. The fact that this is true ought to give pause to all American Christians about doing anything, ever.

American Christianity and American politics today are based on a fearful hatred of imaginary Satanic baby-killers and the impulse to combat them by punishing non-imaginary women.

None of this is new. It was already an ancient pattern long before it was embraced by the “divines” who executed innocent women in Salem.

via 2. ‘The Conjuring’ reminds us that the only way to stop Satanic baby-killers is to punish women.

Go out there, Christian, and love your neighbor. And stop lighting fires.
