Thanks for the comments. I realise the ...Hi Deanna. Thanks for the comments. I realise the witches referred to are not the green faced, mole nosed, pointy hat wearing, broom flying witches we know from, say, the wizard of Oz, but I think that goes to show how this is clearly not the word of an omniscient god. No forward thinking :) MrOzAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626532423754936984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983892264455291683.post-82129221650997630832013-11-18T10:37:43.509+11:002013-11-18T10:37:43.509+11:00Wonderfully thought out blog post... clearly writt...Wonderfully thought out blog post... clearly written, ordered and articulate. A wonderful read once again. You should have definitely pointed this out but I know why you didn't. I tend to have the same problem with being too polite... I tend to wait for someone to finish and then I may have forgotten what I wanted to say, or not be able to say it quick enough! I think I should stay out of those debates! ;)<br /><br />On the other hand, the witch is probably a reference to the pagans, druids and witches of the time. The writers were probably aware of their existence and attempted to make it clear they were going against the status quo... against the will of god. Against their wishes. Note how it also mentions to not worship other gods, or to be led astray from other claimed fortunetellers or false prophets. They wanted the Jews to be different from anybody else of the time, I once heard. No worship of carvings either. It's a sin to create something to worship anything of heaven, earth or hell... something our Christians of today have missed out on. It's even in the ten commandments! Most of whom may not have read the bible fully, or interpreted it how they pleased to. But ignorance does as ignorance is. ;)Deanna (TheAtheistSpark)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983892264455291683.post-75453982376453458882013-11-18T10:14:43.325+11:002013-11-18T10:14:43.325+11:00Thank you :) Thank you :) MrOzAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626532423754936984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983892264455291683.post-67080078616344452882013-11-17T11:31:03.120+11:002013-11-17T11:31:03.120+11:00Its been a while since I've seen your blog, Oz...Its been a while since I've seen your blog, Oz.
