Can we review religions and in particular Christianity to project an outcome?
What could we expect from a Biblical USA?
Note the small section featuring Rachel Maddow’s show where she points out how Abortion doctors are targeted with “Wanted” posters that feature addresses, photos, and work locations. I agree this is clearly reckless, immoral, and designed to encourage violence - the same tactic is used often on the “left” where political targets are given this same reckless promotion of possible violence.
Burning witches again, the love that dare not speak its name, and American Cristian money in Africa for biblical punishments. Listen to the “good christian” explain why the christians in Africa are better than the delusional in the US!
Conflicts of biblical importance.
Are we just weeks away from witch burnings? (A play on the old saying, “we are just nine meals away from anarchy”)

The Malleus Maleficarum was not a mistake

If you doubt the dangers, the direct dangers, presented by the texts of the religionists then I suggest you do a little reading on the manual of operations called the Malleus Maleficarum.
Between 1487 and 1520, twenty editions of the Malleus were published, and another sixteen editions were published between 1574 and 1669. Popular accounts suggest that the extensive publishing of the Malleus Maleficarum in 1487 launched centuries of witch-hunts in Europe. Estimations of deaths have varied widely. According to MacCulloch, the Malleus was one of several key causes of the witch craze, along with popular superstition, jealousy of witches' knowledge from humanist scholars, and tensions created by the Reformation.
Deaths caused and torture directed by religious mandate...
Tens of thousands of people were executed for witchcraft in Europe and the American colonies. Although it is not possible to ascertain the exact number, modern scholars estimate around 40–50,000. Common methods of execution for convicted witches were hanging, drowning and burning. Burning was often favored, particularly in Europe, as it was considered a more painful way to die. Prosecutors in the American colonies generally preferred hanging in cases of witchcraft.

Witch hunts in India

Literally. And just as I returned from there!
India, while an interesting place to visit, is not a place where I would ever choose to live. It is the most polluted, crowded, noisy, impoverished and ultraconservative (women don't even wear shorts there) country I've ever been to. I thought Moscow was in shabby shape when I visited it back in the day, but it's got nothing on India.

Christian Nutjob Alert-Witchcraft Crisis

The following is from here. My commentary is in green.
When the day's news is about "witches," many Americans reflexively conjure up images of ugly, wicked hags from stories like "Snow White" and "The Wizard of Oz" – or more recently, the smiling "good witches" of Harry Potter books and films. But none of these fictional fantasies has anything to do with the real thing. The real thing – that is, the stunning phenomenon of more and more American housewives, students, professors, and even soldiers self-identifying as "witches" – is the topic of the January edition of WND's elite monthly Whistleblower magazine. WND never suprises me with their idiocy Titled "WITCHCRAFT IN AMERICA," Whistleblower explores Wicca in particular, and the New Age movement in general, in this dramatic, entertaining, but powerfully eye-opening and mind-boggling investigation. What's mind-boggling is that this is being investigated by something called "whistleblower" (blowing hot air is more likely) What is witchcraft? Is it the same as Wicca? Is it a form of Satan worship, as critics allege? They can never give up on the Satan worship idea Or can witches be good? no, no one can be good without Jesus, we all know that! Can they really cast spells that somehow call forth the spirits beyond the world of nature to help them accomplish their will – whether good or evil? Yes, all those invisible magic beings are at their command! Is magic real? As real as angels, demons and resurrected god-men, which means not very real at all Why do witches often perform their ceremonies naked? Sex maniacs? And most of all, why do so many people today aspire to be witches? So they can read funny blog posts like this one maybe? Wicca is an official, legal religion in the U.S., How horrible that anyone has the same first amendment rights as the Jesus freaks! and a fast-growing one at that. Judges have ruled that witches must be allowed to lead prayers at local government meetings, and that Wiccan convicts must be provided with requested "sacred objects" so they can perform spells in their cells. Witches in the armed services have even formed covens and routinely "worship" on U.S. military bases. How dare anyone worship anything but Biblegod!
