Just to put it in perspective, this was the US nearly 100 years before it actually became a country. During that time, if your kid wondered outside at night, you just might not see him again, as the engines were everywhere, kidnapping whoever they could grab. People were, understandably, on edge.

Indeed.
Salem needs Jesus!
Slaves convicted of "witchcraft" put their owners at risk for fines and confiscations as well.
This was not just about superstition and hysteria. It was about theft and extortion under color of authority.

Why does everyone always assume it was wrong to execute the witches?
Not just engines, but a lot of trannies too.
People assume it was wrong to execute them for being witches on account of them not being witches.
A fun place to visit on Halloween .

Ephesians 5:11-13
11 Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.
Indeed. Churches rarely evidence on the street that they believe this.
"A letter from an atheist"
You are really convinced that you've got all the answers. You've tricked yourself into believing that you're 100% right. Well let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other human beings? If you're right about GOD, as you say you are, and you believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me, you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation, into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your ‘loving’ GOD created, yet you stand by and do nothing.
If you believed one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unchangeable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. That’s equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes by you walk blindly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy with the knowledge that one day that “Walk” signal will shine your way across the road.
Think about it. Imagine the horrors hell must have in store if the Bible is true. You're just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you're right, then you're an uncaring, unemotional, and purely selfish (expletive deleted) that has no right to talk about subjects as love and caring.
(An actual letter as reprinted by Ray Comfort in “The Evidence Bible, Pub. by Living Waters publications,
How did I know the word "reparations" would be mentioned in this thread?
Could you imaging being bLACK, gay, transgender AND a witch back then? We're talking major meal-ticket reparations for today's descendents.
Thanks nickcarraway.
Agree. My wife and I were in Salem for Halloween in the early 90’s. It was like Halloween mixed in with Mardi Gras.
What a hoot.
Where do we get the assumption they weren’t witches?
I’m not saying I believe one way or the other. Maybe the exectutioners were the true witches. The distortion of history has obscured the truth.
Your reply was addressed to me, if not in actuality, then in a broadcast kinda way.
I have trouble generating much compassion these days.
