Just a reminder that there are still countries where people accused of being witches are still tortured and executed. One place is Saudi Arabia, and it's done by the government. Then there are many other countries where a misunderstood person may be left to the mercy of mob rule, especially in rural areas. For example there are cases in rural areas of Nepal, India, and Pakistan of witches being killed by villagers. Also in parts of war torn Syria and Iraq there are religious extremists who actually go on witch hunts looking for signs of sorcery. If any lesson can be taken from the past it is that people are known to label just about anything as a sign of witchcraft. I'm not trying to be condescending, as I'm sure most of you already realize this. It is just that a post I came across asking about witchcraft and religion had me concerned that the poster or others similar to this poster may not be in a safe place.
