Not so good for Christine O’Donnell:
Exodus 22:18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
While I am NOT a vengeful God, I am a capricious one.
I am that I am.
Sarah Palin’s minister said much the same thing … only he proposed real action.
Has Witch O’Donnell properly renounced her obedience to Satan? If not, then shouldn’t someone ask Sarah Palin’s church for their help in this vital matter,
Of course you cannot allow a witch to live.
Think about it, ‘witches’ tend to be women with some measure of power. Usually versed in some sort of herbalism, they could offer practical and even possibly efficacious remedies. They likely had their own mythology, and that in itself was a bit of competition that the men that claimed to be conversing with God directly. The witch’s mythology likely derived in some measure from animism and some degree of observation of natural phenomena, and therefore they likely had some facility observing patterns and making prediction that were a bit better than random – and if about things like crops and weather, that could be pretty valuable.
So, like I said, women with power? Kill them.
God @2
I missed the part about her preacher – what did he say?
The blood on that Satanic altar? I’m betting little Chrissie’s date got his redwings during their “midnight picnic”.
This problem with ex witches is very real.
We had a person in my church for about 9 mths who professes to have been a witch prior to conversion. He came to us with “church hurts” having left several other churches previously.
Let me say right off that I truly love this person in the Lord, but I do not trust him. I want to be able to help this person as well as understand this person. However, there is something about him that conflicts with my spirit and I cannot put my finger on what it is.
I am asking God for discernment to know if this person has truly converted or has been sent by the enemy to infiltrate the church by gaining our trust. This person has given a considerable amount of money to the church and has a very controlling personality. There are frequent outbursts of attention seeking behavior, especially during prayer time or worship, like gasping for air as though choking, which stops what is going on and draws attention to him. He states that this was an “spiritual attack”.
I believe this person is astro projecting to watch people in the church. A new baby Christian came to me and told me that he had a vision in the night of this person watching him. THis really concerns me, as astro projection is something this person practiced in the past and has spoken about.

I am that I am.
As exhibited by the loon @6, this preoccupation with witchcraft among the Christianist reveals both a paranoia and a credulity that is jaw-dropping.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that their leaders embrace this – this witchy thing is a perfect vehicle for branding people they see as threats and mobilizing their sheeple to attack the outsider.
@7
Terrifying. I wish they would just go off to some corner of the planet and prey (spelling correct) on each other and leave the rest of us sane people alone.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at this relentless quest for power that these charlatans display – Billy Graham, Falwell, the C Street people (really scary), Palin, etc. This is just another way to mobilize and fleece the rubes.
Christine O’Donnell is a piker by comparison.
“This problem with ex witches is very real”.
Is it ever. A fellow can’t stride half a block without being inundated with requests for a spare eye of newt, or any loose toe of frog. With two wars, the economy in the toilet, the housing market slump and a secret mooslim in the White House, rampant witchery trumps them all.
@10
Do you suppose the loon at 6 searches the net for the term ‘witch’ and then leaves his droppings on whatever discussion he finds?
And what about the terminology – ‘ex witch’? Isn’t what you and he both describe the actions of active witches? I think you both are being taken in and lulled into a false sense of security thinking these evil beings are in any way “ex” in their witchy activity.
Why do you think this is funny?
The witches never went away, they just hid. Worse yet, they resent all true Christians for taking their power away.
Personally, I do not think O’Donnell ever was a witch. She is, for one thing, far too pretty.
I suspect this was more of a childhood fantasy. What is more worrisome are the powerful women in the Democunts. Do you really believe Pelosi is a “catholic?”
Because it’s insane, that’s why.
LS: “Beckoner” has “graced” this blog before. His shit is opaque nonsense, to the point where I posit that he may be a satire of a rightwing religious bigot.
@6 and 12, Beckonan:
LS has probably correctly characterized you as a loon.
Your post at 6 was so wacked it could readily be confused with satire. However, I note you cutnpasted the comment at the link proffered by someone ID’d as a “Pastor”. Multiple layers of sockpuppetry therein.
“Pastor” or not, your post at 12 confirms you are a loon and a typical rightwingnut bigot hypocrit.
BTW: It’s astral vice astro, dipshit.
The rapture can’t come too soon in your case.
@ Beckoner
If the devil wanted to seduce you, would he approach you as a repellant ugliness, or an attractive beautiful thing?
The devils greatest trick, is not to convince the religious that there is no god, but to convince the faithful that he is god, quoting scripture, presenting miracles and claiming great knowledge of the faith and the words thereof. Claiming, very convincingly to be the truth of the way. With words that already would ring true to the words already learned, but designed to mislead and betray.
In other words, Satan is a Republican, and a conservative.
Fixed.
Since “catholics” seem to be in favor of child rape and other atrocities, I hope not.
She turned me into a newt.
I’ve the tools and resources to deal with this O’Donnell witch. Leave her to me.
As to rest of you heathen scum, I’m tracking your IP’s.
REPENT!!!!!!!!!!!
It is decreed that three pious elders* shall be appointed and herebye annointed with the authority to appraise suspicious* women for the presence of suspicious arrangements of moles and/or other evidence of the devil’s handywork.
*aka, perverts
*”suspicious” in this case is to be determined by the aforementioned pious elders (aka perverts).
@ 19
I am reminded of the anti-kiddieporn crusader from back in the late 90’s. I do not remember his name at the moment, but as I recall, he openly touted his thousands of hours of research on the subject, and his vast collection of images of kids engaged in sexual acts or poses.
From Bierce, the Devils Dictionary-
Witch- a) An ugly and repulsive old woman, in a wicked league with the devil. b) A beautiful and attractive young woman, in wickedness a league beyond the devil.
Take your pick.
The heretical mockery here only serves to express the divine correctness of the Holy War against Heresy that is being waged in righteousness by our God given rulers, Ferdinand and Isabelle. You heretics would have us defile ourselves as in ancient Sodom, and benefit nothing but the Lord’s divine wrath in the name of “social justice”, “charity” and “inclusiveness”
Yes, I understand that the working of the wheel and the rack is a dirty business, but it is God’s business, and not for us to question in inpudence and doubt. Torquemada’s task is a terrible burden to him, and he should be rewarded with your piety and devotion rather than with your scorn.
May God have mercy on your souls.
Re 9
Yeah. Billy Graham is a jerk and a thief!
His ministry had an annual budget of 88 million in the year prior to his retirement. Of this 85% is program expense, the remaining 15 percent split between fundraising and administrative expenses. You can and do disagree with the point or philosophy of his ministry, but to question his integrity is ignorant, based on your own bigotry.
And Graham makes out like a bandit, too, the old hypocrite! He made 200,000 dollars in salary to administer this organization in his last active year prior to retirement. This was a salary voted by a board, not one he assigned himself.
Want to talk hypocrisy? Fine. It exists. Want to slander one of the most honorable men in America based on your bigotry? That shows more about you than about Billy Graham.
re 22
I have a younger brother who as a child had the irritating trick of copying everything his older siblings said.
The only cure was to ignore him.
Have a nice day.
LS
Before you ask, the information on Billy Grahams ministry is here. http://www.charitynavigator.or.....orgid=3367
This is an organization that generally rates religious charities with disdain, feeling that a christian ministry undermines ‘true’ charity. I chose this rating only so that no claim of bias could be made on account of source. For personal use, I use a different rating service for charities.
Shorter 24: My pussy itches and I need to change my tampon.
Yeesh, Goldy, get these things right by looking in the Jewish scriptures, not the Christian OT.
Ex. 22.17 says You shall not tolerate a sorceress. (Doesn’t say put to death)
Ex 22.18 says Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death.
Off to take the dogs to the off leash park. Have a nice Sunday.
Billy Graham’s anti-Semitism? “Synagogue of Satan”?? Eh, whatever. What’s really important is that his books are open.
@21,
more Xian hatred of women. Nice of you to share.
And 22, WTF? Are you trying to make satire? It’s too close to your honestly expressed beliefs to be sure one way or the other.
Kids are still putting stuff together, so time for a last comment.
Rob,
Lighten up. It was just intended for humor, not a heavy comment on women and their role in society and faith. Sheesh. Actually the Devils Dictionary is good light fun.
I didn’t write 22, take it up with whoever did. You know, the guy who thinks the Spanish Inquisition is a current event.
BTW, Christian isn’t spelled with an X. Thought you should know, as you seem confused.
Zotz,
Grow up. Only adolescent boys think words like ‘pussy’ and the concept of crotch itch funny. I bet you still think fart jokes are hilarious too.
Steve,
Anti semitism? I’m unfamiliar with any of that in Grahams record.
@31,
apologies for the 22 comment. But, Xmas, Xian, no confusion at all. If you can use the shorthand for one, you can use it for the other.
Rob,
Off to the park. If you do read the Devils Dictionary, there is a palpable note of misogyny in it. But there’s funny stuff about politics, and more to the point for you, religion in it as well.
I like Mark Twain, but don’t use the word ‘nigger’ either mentally or verbally. I like Dante, but don’t buy the concept of purgatory. And I like Bierce, but this doesn’t make me a misogynist. Point is, authors can be ahead of their own time, but behind ours. They can be brilliant but flawed. It doesn’t pay to pick them apart on this basis, when simply enjoying what and who they are is much easier and more rewarding.
@23 LSIB
I gather you like him. Fine. But why would you hold this wealthy man up as an exemplar?
Has he given to the poor?
Has he shown courage in opposing war or supporting the rights of the underprivileged?
As for his salary, tell me grasshopper how he became wealthy n this modest salary? Did he pay for his mansion out of his penury?
My taste in the good and godly runs more to those willing to give of themselves.
@31 “I’m unfamiliar with any of that in Grahams record.”
The Nixon tapes. Have you ever heard of those?
After signing on to a bigoted Tricky D rant, Billy G sez to him, “They don’t know how I really feel about what they’re doing to this country.”
It looks like you don’t know much about Billy either.
@35
and it was Graham’s coziness with Nixon that I most had in mind when I included him in my comment above. These people, like Republicans in general, are in thrall of power – they lust after it and do anything they can to be near it, or grab some for themselves. Their particular MO is just to play the holy man/woman on TV. It’s still all about fleecing the rubes.
Perhaps we can weigh her. If she sinks she is dies in innocent honor; if she floats she needs to be killed as a witch. Did someone call the Spanish Inquisition? “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition”
for the record, the Nixon tapes!
NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition
@23 “Want to talk hypocrisy? Fine. It exists. Want to slander one of the most honorable men in America based on your bigotry? That shows more about you than about Billy Graham.”
Indeed, Billy is one of America’s more honorable bigots.
Having been a practicing Pagan for nearly 40 years, I find many of these arguments interesting. Old and far too familiar but interesting.
Pagans are of many beliefs and dogmas. Some are Pagan because of how they were raised, lashing out at their strict Christian upbringing. Some come to Paganism through study and investigation. Others happen upon it through friends and social encounters. No one is forced to become Pagan.
One of my dearest friends had a daughter who married into a devout Baptist family. She converted and went into full Bible Thumper mode. Her minister and fellow churchers drove a steel wedge between her and her mother. When her mother was diagnosed with cancer, our Circle came together for her healing. There was much love at the ceremony but no daughter.
Toward the end, we nurtured her and prepared her for her journey to the Summerlands (Pagan Heaven, if you will) All she got from her daughter was “You’re going to Hell.” She passed with all of her friends and loved one nearby with one disappointing exception, her daughter.
Now, some years later, her daughter has taken her kids and left the Church. She has great regret for what the Baptist church convinced her to do while her mother was ill. Her mother died without her daughter near and this weighs heavily on her. She will feel a great hole in her heart for the rest of her life because of this.
Pagans are people. They are your neighbors, the clerk at the grocery store or the guy who delivers the pizza. They are lawyers and doctors, business people and teachers, from all parts of the community. They are us.
Read what Beckoner said @6 and @12. This is what mainstream Christians think of Pagans. If a teacher is outed as a Pagan, they will lose their job. A clerk at a Mom and Pop store could be asked to leave for no other reason than the way their exercise their ‘freedom of religion’.
We can dismiss Beckoner as a loon here but he is not alone. If a witch was to be lynched today, how big a crowd would gather?
Which witch?
@ 22 – Leave the comedy to conservatives. Progressives are never funny no matter how hard they try, because they don’t apply themselves, instead expecting the Government to be funny for them. This in part explains why Stephen Colbert is funny, but his progressive counterpart, John Stewart is too painful for words. Before you embarrass yourself again, you should read George Wallace’s 1965 “Reflections on Satire and Humor from the Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office”. This seminal work is a must read for any aspiring satirist.
As a non-believer in any an all of that (atheists dogma, too), I find the “Bible Study” a great source of comedy.
Witches, a Republican being funny once 45 years ago, Pagans (the other white meat), Republicanism as a religion, every week a good laugh. Thanks to you, Goldy.
To all,
(1.) Graham’s remarks about Jews is standard issue wingnut crap, and not at all unusual…but his praise for Comrade Kim Ill Sung (the Great and Glorious Leader of the Inevitable Great and Good Proletarian Revolution) is, well…odd.
(2.) Accumulating several million dollars over 50+ years running his tent shows would not be that hard. Absent evidence to the contrary, he appears to not be overly greedy (of course the ministry pays for all those overseas trips!).
Wow, we’ve gone pretty far down the rabbit hole today.

“We can dismiss Beckoner as a loon here but he is not alone. If a witch was to be lynched today, how big a crowd would gather?”
Am I a loon? I will tell you what, if Beck were to burn a witch on Fox his ratings would go through the roof!
As for your being a pagan, give us all a break,
Remember Emperor Julian, that SOB was a real pagan, a P-H-I-L-O-S-O-P-H-E-R, not some hobbyist who collects feathers and talk to trees.
And what happened to Julian, a guy LOTS brighter than you?
Pagans have a BIG problem buddy, Jesus lived .. he is a real historical character. Your ‘gods” are a real as a baby’s phantom friend or fairy tales old by ignorant savages before civilization, under the sign of the cross, spread truth across the world!
To the doubters ..
Look at the evidence for God in this blog:
Unless LSIB IS “Sarah” this seems to much of a coincidence not to be the voice of God speaking through the Apostate Goldstein’s blog.
Anyone want to bet that my good friend LSIB SLEEPS WITH HIS DOG???
More evidence that Jews hate Christians.
Anyone who would trust the Jews to translate our bible is either a witch or a a Jew herself.!
In an attempt to be helpful-
My dogs do sleep on the bed with my wife and I. Therefore, I suppose they do sleep with me. Not in the sense intended in the Exodus cite or in Beckoners posting, but they do.
I’ll leave the referees to decide if anyone wins a bet here.
you all make me laugh. if some wiccan wanted to go to a catholic school and wanted equal time to pray to the devil, you’d all be screaming bloody murder if she couldnt. and the adl and aclu would be filing suit in every court. so funny.
Lostinanutshell –
“Camus wrote, “The suffering of children was the bread of our affliction, and yet without this bread, we would die of spiritual hunger.” That’s why I enjoy kicking orphans. It lifts my spirit. FDR was a traitor! How dare you besmirch Billy “Synagogue of Satan” Graham! He is one of the most honorable men in America! The poor are shiftless and lazy. That’s why they’re poor! Unemployment insurance and welfare promote shiftlessness and laziness, and therefore more poverty. If you’re ill and have no insurance for whatever reason, please have the good graces to go be sick and die where I can’t see you. I’m a small “l” libertarian-Republican who votes for the GOP and FDR was a traitor! My idea of limited government includes waging endless war on Islam, no taxes on the producers, denying gays equal rights and the pursuit of happiness, and monitoring women’s wombs to catch those horrid murderesses before they kill our nation’s little baby zygotes and blastocysts. Did I mention that FDR was a traitor?”
Anyone wonder why none of the “witches” O’Donnell palled around with, or that guy that took her on the date to a late-satanic ritual at an alter with blood and stuff, have never turned up to claim their 15 minutes of fame?
It’s because they don’t exist. She made it up. How do I know? because if she “dabbled” in witchcraft, she would know something about it. Satanic rituals at the alter have nothing to do with Wicca. It didn’t happen.
She made it up like a school kid trying to impress by concocting an outlandish story.
@49
LSIB sleeps with his dog!
Shocking. Another damned liberal passing as a conservative.
Even worse, claiming to know the intent of God!
@53
…Even worse, claiming to know the intent of God!
Pot meet Kettle.
Also, what is a ‘real’ Pagan? For that matter, what is a ‘real’ Christian? Who gets to decide and stick the label on them?
“Who gets to decide and stick the label on them?”
Around here, that’d be Puddy and Klynical.

@56
So what am I .. toast with a picture of Obama burned in?
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
Actually, the ORIGINAL word was “poisoner.” King James was such a virulent anti-witchcraft guy that he had them change the wording to match his insanity against the “witches” of the world. it should have said:
Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live.
Just another little example of the Bible not being literally true most of the time. It was invented as they went along, as was most of civilization.
Re 56
Nah. Haven’t seen Puddy or Cynical from the plastic pool in my front yard. Maybe I can’t see them past the 16 plastic flamingos and my 68 Dart on blocks though.
