“In the “bad ol’ days” of the Puritans, you and your wife would have been executed if my daughter decided to be a Drama Queen, roll around on the ground and then accuse you and your wife of being a warlock and a witch. “
People are wrongly convicted of crimes in all eras. BTW, witches were thought of having real powers (evil eye, hexes, etc) and could kill/poison. They were a threat to society.
“Given the choice between the two societies, I’ll take weirdos marching in the streets over the local the Religious Police having life or death power over me.”

“If you admire such a theocratic society, you can live in one today by moving to Iran”
Why? I am not a muslim.
