Sigh.

Too bad ignorance isn’t painful…I must have been 12 years old when I learned one possible cause of the witch accusations was convulsive ergotism… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism

With his mindset I'm pretty sure God is going to be real disappointed when the pastor stands before him.

No more evil than rapingchildren which most churches gloss right over

Witchcraft, if there had even been any in Salem, has nothing to do with Satan. Satan is a Christian character, he doesn't exist in Wiccan beliefs. Which has nothing at all to do with what happened in Salem which was entirely Christian, in all its suspicious, misogynistic, murderous glory.

So, the Xian solution is to embrace the enmity of the Devil? In my experience, the real problem many lip-service-only Xians have with self-proclaimed (or accused-as-such) Wiccans (aka 'witches') is that the Wiccans are almost all 'rabid' (read: seriously committed) environmentalists in very deed.

That's where the Christians murdered women they didn't like in God's name.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

Woo hoo !

Christians murdered women. There is no "glory" in that

Religion is evil.

It's not a superstition. It's my personal relationship with Satan

🤣🤡 #SalemWitchTrials #NYC

Get these people away from positions of power!

Belief without evidence. That's why they call it "Faith."

I mean, he is using the term correctly in the sense that christians think anything trying to be sympathetic to mostly-women victims is Satanic.

And that ladies and gentlemen is the whole of modern Christianity summed up perfectly. Performative without understanding.

well, what happened there was evil - but Satan had nothing to do with it.

Now they know who to vote off the board.

Off, he should fuck.

Religion turns people into fanatics. The Puritans were ignorant, and fundamentalists hate fun.

Almost every time a Christian pastor speaks, an uninformed comment is spoken.

NO more dumb people in elected offices!!!

What a fuck face.

Maybe they should instead go to the Satanic Temple, also in Salem. The kids could take their picture with the Baphomet statue!

Not surprised they wouldn't want to approve a visit to the Salem Witch Museum. Not because it's "Satanic" but because the students might learn what the Salem witch trials were really all about. Just a little too close for comfort.

I was thinking the Museum might want to extend him an invite to learn but then thought meh, why put them through that close minded BS

A christian? Learning something? How high are you? 😃

it's always a good idea to put fanatic dimwits in charge of schools

Religions have held humankind back centuries from where we'd be without any of that nonsense.

If you have no knowledge, then why are you having a fit!?!? Ridiculous

Are we really surprised that a pastor is going to make moral pronouncements on a subject without knowing much about the subject or having any sensible reason to oppose it? Religion would die a quick death if that stopped working on gullible idiots.

His profound ignorance would have been right at home with those who persecuted others during the witch trials.

Sure. Don't let them see how RELIGION tortured and murdered countless women that were erroneously accused of witchcraft! Unless they were going to hold a Black Mass, the kids should have been allowed to go. Satanic? Yeah, that's exactly the behavior those Salem "preachers" had.🫤✌️💙

Another shoot first ask questions later? I’ll tell you, go visit Salem in the spring , go to the PeabodyEssexMuseum ( PEM ) And see for yourself. The library there has all you need to make judgment on something you , right now, know nothing about.

The Witch museum goes over the history of the witch trials and the role of bigotry, superstition, and ignorance.

Then he needs another job

Religitards doing Religitarded things once more !!!

But they burned women! I’m sure he approves of that!

why the hell is he on the school board? It's history....rich at that. He needs to resign
