Salem witch hunts!!

[GooseBear]

They may have been caused by LSD!!
Ergot which is a fungus that grows on rye which was their main source of food back in the day has Lasergic acid.
So people where actually high and there were mass hallucinations!! People thought that they were cursed by witches.
Crazy
Later on though the hallucinations went more with the Age of Enlightenment (I think correct me if I'm wrong) and they didn't think it was witchcraft just spirits or something holy happening.

I thought that was cool and would just share with you all

"If you're a witch you will fly off the cliff, if your not a witch you will fall to your death but be welcomed by God."

I Wish I had a time machine. I would go back in time and just like mess with people and what not. Kinda like in Chappele's Show the "Time Haters" bid...

Bring a battery powered little car and say "watch I can move this with my mind" then when they try to burn you on the stick whip out a fire extinguisher
WITCH

[Euphoric]

this is the number 1 reason i dont like christians. its pure madness...

in europe there were approximately 110,000 witch trials and about 50% of them ended in executions.

Often these hunts were instigated by hysterical children, or nuns who accused relatives, and neighbors of these outrageous crimes. Witnesses were often bribed or threatened in order to prosecute the accused. The accused would then be tortured until they confessed. The methods of torture were very cruel and painful, and almost all who were put through the various devices would confess. In some cases the accused would die of torture, and very few survived the ordeal without confessing. However, the accused was set free if they survived the torture without a confession. After the forced confession, the trial took place. These trials were run by genuine believers of witchcraft. The aim of the trial was to exterminate the witches as conspirators with the devil. When the accused was declared guilty, they were usually executed.

So your number one reason to hate Christians is what a bunch of them did a few hundred years ago? Great reason :rolleyes: It is not just Christians that do bad things, it's all humans.

[slipnslide087]

[ride n get high]

Ergot is poiseness. it would jsutr make them sick idt they would hallucinate. Yeah i think thats wrong

[ride n get high]

The process of LSD synthesis is a complex one which requires a fully equipped laboratory

you're a christian, no? :rolleyes: well thats ok by me i dont care... its just another example of how it gets out of hand :D pass the peace pipe bro

[slipnslide087]

yeah man ergot would not make them trip......or people might be growing ergot and shit in a little set they bought from the local head shop. i dont hate christians, or any pparticular group. i hate people. so yeah....it is kinda narrow minded to hate any group as a whole....its just different people.

it seems to be socially acceptable to hate terrorists and nazis tho? :confused:

[sawleaf]

I am a Christian, but I don't hate people just for their religion, I judge each person by their actions regardless of what group they belong to. :)

[GHoSToKeR]

the witch trials were a result of the Christian Church wanting to demonize all Mother Nature revering religions, if they wouldnt convert to Christianity. Maybe they were on LSD, who knows? lol

[Encatuse]

this is the number 1 reason i dont like christians.

Yeah. and I hate all white people because they had slaves far more recently then the witch hunts.

And we hate terrorists because they're still alive and kicking. And I fucking HATE nazi's because of everything they believe.

[peji]

Could you imagine tripping on mushrooms and not even knowing it :p back in those dayz,,,being burned or tortured or put to death just because you have insight :o

[slipnslide087]

no euphoric, i dont think its socially acceptable to hate on other people including nazis and terrorists. i do hate terrosrists, but i dont ahve everyone in the mid east witha rag on their head. i dont hate all nazis either, well the ones back then....people whos are sitll "nazis" are a little fucking ridiculous. like the KKK. a l;ot of nazis were just brainwashed fucks that either did it bc they were stupid, or to avoid death.

[slipnslide087]

and i hate the christians who are way overly opinionated and judgemental. they seem to think they have some right to judge others. a l;ot of southern baptist people are this way. thats why the southeast is so gay about everything. bc of the southern baptists who think everyone else is going to hell and that everything should be based on their opinion of morality. well fuck those people.

[RESiNATE]

I seem to recall (somewhere deep within my memory banks) a radio interview with a witch, who said something along the lines of what GHoST was saying - that it was the 'worship' of Earth power that was frowned upon. She also said that there was no such thing as a black witch! (something to do with how Earth energy is used - ie, can't be used for bad stuff).

I suppose that we could consider 'the force' as being witchcraft, as it utilises the same energies that the Jedi do...

But then, if that is the case, then Darth Vader shouldn't have had any powers..:confused:

Bah@legends and beliefs

I just think that it was a way of providing entertainment for the public, back in those days - dwarf-tossing, witch-dunking, and the odd bit of heretic stoning...

..thank fuck we got Playstations these days, eh? :rolleyes:

[robert42]

wow pretty cool

[az666]

if ergot (i dont have a clue what ergot is but if it...) does contain lysergic acid it probly will make you trip if you ate enough cause thats the stuff found in hawaiian baby woodrose and .....fuck whats the name of that other seed.... well yeah its found in those seeds and that shit makes you trip balls. Also apparently this is meant to have almost the same effect as lsd. You can get them from garden centers and shit..(well you can here)...but some places put poisons on it to make you not want to eat it. But i dont know what the effects of these are on people... we got MAJOR cramps in our legs when we did lsa a while ago.

YO YO RES i thought you were gettin cut off???? Hope yo didnt dude...best of luck :)

[RESiNATE]

YO YO RES i thought you were gettin cut off???? Hope yo didnt dude...best of luck :)
haha..so did I...maybe it wasn't my time...that said, the electric will be running out by tomorrow evening, so even if BT don't cut me off, then lack of juice will :rolleyes:..if it aint one thing, eh?
(musta got my facts wrong...for a change ;)..hehehe)

[az666]

WITCH
LMFAO ah! that was the highlight of my day. funny shit. :p

[Rarrr]

lysergic acid is illegal (where Im from anyway) so I'd say its a slight hallucinagen without synthetic process. I find some christians to be ignorant and not listen to what others have to say as theyv been brainwashed into believing the bible is the only answer and completely true. I honestly dont believe the 1500 year old version of the bible would be exact to todays version let alone close.

[opiuser]

you would die before you tripped from ergot its pretty poisonous shit. the lysergic acid(LSA) has to be extracted with acetone( or some other solvent) and then it's still pretty weak so you have to add certain chemicals(im not gonna say which ones) and go through other procedures to convert to lysergic acid diamelithyde(LSD).

anywho... to the guy that hates all whites cuz we had slaves... FUCK YOU, RACIST BASTARD(unless it was just an example)...

YOu owe your freedom to lots of white men, and besides, less than half the white population condoned the use of slaves.

There should be no racism left in the world. its just that theres lots of assholes that just wont give up.

one of the main guys keepin racism going is Reverend Al Sharpton. he always says he wants to get rid of racism, but he creates far more than he's ever gotten close to stopping.

I myself don't even really notice the color of people's skin. But i beleive that African Americans are the main source of the racism...

Im not sayin that black people are more racist than whites, im saying that there are more black people that are racists. they just wont give up.

There was an epidemic in the middle ages called St. Anthony's poisoning, this was attributed to ergotism, caused by eating contaminated rye. It caused an entire town in France to go insane and some lost there limbs because of the constriction of blood flow to the extremities.
