Gods & Monsters Saga: The European Witch Hunts |Parable

Witch hunts are considered to be one of the darkest corners of our history. The church and state became hellbent on exterminating thousands of innocent women. But why did our ancestors live in terror of witches? Why were thousands of women believed to be committing horrific supernatural crimes? And could you tell who practiced the dark arts? In this episode, Tony is joined by a host of expert historians to get to the root of our ancestor's fear of anything and everything witchy.

    If you subscribe to Solomonic magic, being a magician is no joke, it requires discipline and the meeting without fail of celestial timetables, not to mention the acquisition and fabrication of instruments constructed using some impossibly exotic ingredients. Sorcery wouldn't be forbidden by the biblical God, unless it was effective and contrary to God's will.

    @@johnbenson20 you make an assumption that I have not already read the Bible or been involved in religion. I was brought up Catholic, tried various other belief systems, and walked away from the Baha'i Faith approximately 10 years ago. My atheism was earned the hard way. God, if he exists, owes me for 50 years of guilt tripping and unnecessary angst. Don't you DARE assume you have any sort of moral high ground. Your comparing man-made items to a "creator" is the worst Ken Hovind style of false equivalence, and is simply egregious nonsense.
