Ok... you're not sure where in Africa this is, therefore how can you make the judgement that these are witches, or even Christians persecuting the women?

And I think it`s times like this is where those that did that should be tortured to death. Like a week long event.
Is it right. I don`t know but is it justified. I`d think yes after they can do that to anything alive.

I hope that judgement didn't come from the title of the video... If so you've led 8 pages of a "Christians are bad" thread, without any substantial proof.

And what does that do?
Seemingly, a significant point to ponder is that people want to get revenge and disguise it as "justice"; which is simply a cop out to fulfill their own desire for an eye for an eye.
Until there is forgiveness and acceptance there will be friction and division of the masses. The Universe works in unity, to work against unity is to pit yourself against the Universe that you have been unified with the whole time.
Fear separates and leads one astray into the darkness, Love is the opposite and brings one together into the light.
Like Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind".
And Jesus of Nazareth, "A house divided upon itself cannot stand".

A lot of Christians are like this. A few are not. But most are. Even Judaism and Islam share the same controversy. That's why we need the True Messiah soon.edit on 23-10-2010 by ImAnAlienOnMyOwnPlanet because: (no reason given)

I'm just in shock after viewing the video. Not so much sick, just my eyes were witnessing this, but its almost like the brain didn't want to comprehend it? Just absolutely unsettling!

The one known fact of history is that religion in its entirety has been the cause of the most deaths, plagues, and war to date. I just don't know if there is any getting around it?

Did you even read my post?
Of course you can watch it and make comments. I said if it's really all that shocking to you, you do have your head up your ass. This stuff happens all the time and nobody really cares.edit on 24-10-2010 by NsatatRisatoz because: (no reason given)

Many of you are rather quick to judge the perpetrators of this event so harshly, in my opinion. We don't have any context here. Hell, we don't even have any evidence from the video that the people being burned and beaten are considered "witches". What if they are actual criminals who harmed other people, violated legitimate laws and have earned retribution? Would you feel differently if you knew they were murderers, rapists or abusers of children, for instance? In America, most states have capital punishment and technically do execute some of their worst offenders, but the process is so long and drawn out, and the actual executions are performed so "humanely" that they do not even serve as an effective deterrent.
I'm not saying what is happening in this video is a good thing, but I do feel that we do not have enough information to condemn it.
