Actually, I'd go a step higher, as I believe the religion is just another vehicle for the control, not the driving force. The force is greed and power. The people that institute and administer the religions are the same people instituting and administering the governments, and controlling the resources, and dividing and helping us to conquer ourselves.

"Witchcraft" is definitely rooted in religion, and our current "terrorists" surely have a religions identity, and when it was the pale faces killing the redskins, there was a religions element, and when it was Apartheid in Africa there was a religious element, but when you look at it, under the religion is oil, real estate, diamonds, gold, etc.

Agreed. Religion is useful to the state. It is the first place people learn to "just believe" something without any proof. The authority behind the pulpit, the teachers desk, the podium or news desk is first framed like you said as a control measure begun early in life. Religion also is one of the reasons they go to war. "For god and country". Once an enemy is determined to have a false god, then they are really the enemy. Maybe witch hunting is just an off shoot of misguided religious zealots. Kind of a mutation sort of. Man we are messed up as a society.

If you had redhair you would be screwed as your a witch if you like it or not..

If you had red hair during the Spanish Inquisition, you were accused of having stolen the fires of hell, then quickly burned as a witch


During 16th and 17th century witch-hunts in England, many redheads were stripped to look for marks of a witch. Marks of a witch included moles, scares, or freckles. This made the lifespan for a redhead in England during this time very, very short.

Pretty crazy stuff ...

I remember that experiment. People actulally delivered what they thought were extreme electrical shocks to complete strangers because they were told to... shudder

Today that avenue is much simpler. The "See something, Say something." signs come to mind. Hers a variant on a roadway.

Here you go.

-Question 1 "rhetorical" - Oh! Well aren't you a beautiful red head, or blond or brunet?
-Question 2 - Are you a which?
-Question 3 - Do you mind if we interrogate you, you know, just to make sure? (They do anyway)

The integration. - Ok, we'll put you in this cage, hope you don't mind, and we'll submerge you under water for 20 minutes. If you survive we will burn you at the stake. If you die..well, we'll send a letter of apology to your family.

It was called game of death. The person in the chair was an actor but the people playing the game didn't know. It's sickening how people can hurt others.

Game of Death

Thanks. Whats really scary? Kids today are doing this stuff for fun... What do they call it? Bullying? When they grow up they will run this country and be taking care of you! They won't need a book to go on witch hunts. They will be the book.
