The order of 9 angles encourages human sacrifice if I remember correctly.

The annoying part is that when people do this, they eventually become negative stereotypes. Then it takes a LONG time to correct the stereotype because people are offended that they shouldn't be believing stereotypes and resist proper education on the matter.
Look at witches. That is a demographic that took up until the modern era to dispel many of the myths surrounding being a witch. Before that, they were seen as direct agents of Satan, always looking to kidnap your child or put a hex on you. Even Hollywood played into this stereotype. It reverberates into the horror genre even today.
Whether or not worshippers of dark magic believe they can kill people through esoteric means, the facts are that people have been killed in relation to practises such as these.

Well, not necessarily. In this case, most of the stereotypes originated before we were a country. I'm not aware of any widespread Wiccan discrimination outside of outdated Christian stereotypes after we became a nation though. We just never got around to addressing the stereotypes because up until the 90's no solid demographic in the nation cared about religious opinions outside of Christianity (or being secular).

But I was talking about dark magic, and people being killed.
He was following a mix of santeria and palo mallumbe, and ritually sacrificed people. What about that does not vindicate my first post?

Well Christians have been concerned with Satanism for a long time now. Not just for the past 50 to 60 years or so. The 80's saw the most recent "Satanism" scare, but this mindset definitely predates the modern "Christian Nation" phenomena.

Ok, time to leave the nit pickers to their thread. Have fun, you experts of the left hand path.
