Proving that this particular type of witch exist also proves that The Devil and Hell exist. I’m not super pumped for the societal ramifications of that.
If only we had a concrete answer about an afterlife and a method to guarantee admission. But yeah if the choice was fun magic now or eternal paradise, well bless us Lord for we have sinned.
There is no proof that witches even exist, yet people were killed for being witches. Kind of like people are killed for believing in the “wrong” god. People really need to be thought how to think!
When it boils down to it, the state sanctioned the killings in the first place and all these people are asking for is some symbolic recognition of the victims, is that really too much to ask of the state?
