I've heard a story of a kid (I think he was 12) from a Wiccan family in Texas who was jumped by a group of people because he was wearing a pentacle necklace. If I remember right they stabbed him, and I think they might have burned him also, but it's been a while since I heard the story. A group of people, possibly adults, killed a 12 year old because of a necklace. I'm not sure as to the truth of this story, as it was told by a guy who called in to a podcast I listen to (The Thinking Atheist, a guy who lives in Tulsa). Honestly, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was true, and that fact is quite disturbing.
While I was on vacation in Texas last year I wore my pentacle necklace the whole time (albeit under my shirt), though I also carried my pocket knife at all times as well.
Who wants to bet that the people that killed him thought of themselves as "Good Christians"...
Well, of course they are. After all they're just following their good book. Exodus 22:18 clearly states..."Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
I ask. Just how much more plain can it get?
Apparently in the original language it was more likely "poisoner" instead of "witch".
No. I just checked my Hebrew bible, and the word is definitely witch.
