Kenya mob reportedly burns 11 ‘witches’

NAIROBI, Kenya - A group of up to 300 young men have burned to death 11 people suspected of being witches and wizards in western Kenya — in some cases slitting their victims' throats or clubbing them to death before burning their bodies, officials said.

The gang moved from home to home through two villages, identifying their victims by using a list with names of suspected witches and wizards and the kind of spells they were believed to have cast on the community, said Ben Makori, a local councilor.

"The villagers are complaining that the (suspected) wizards and witches are making the bright children in the community dumb.... These (suspected) witches are not doing good things to us," Makori told The Associated Press on the phone.

never any there there.....

The fundies deride witches, but they believe in faith healing.

Don't both rely on another wordly force?

deluded folks always believe their own personal wordly force trumps that of any other. If you wee to tell one that, they would state theirs was true.....

Faith healing relies on one's God. Witches rely on their own energy force. Example: Faith healing says "I don't need anything but prayer." One who practices withcraft would say," I will light a candle for my health, meditate, eat right, drinks lots of water, cast a spell, but I will also seek the help of my physician if need be."

Okay. Thanks for clarification.

Difference is subtle enough that I missed it, but is still fairly large.
Thanks

A dangerous combo for millenia.

for guidance on theological matters.

And you say this based on what?

This is DU, not fark,
this is DU, not Fark,
this is DU, not Fark.

This is just sick. As a Witch myself, I grieve for all of those killed in the New Burning Times. :mad:

The Witches must be real...They made 300 of them ignorant as hell...
