Much too close to home...
Nov. 28th, 2009 10:19 pmComplacency isn't something that I am proud of, but we are all probably guilty of it on occasions. I have been following reports of the so-called Witch Killings that are happening around the world, wildhunt.org/blog/tag/witch-hunts
They horrify me, sadden me and scare me. But only to a certain extent. Over here in the UK, we feel safe and cosy in our civilised world.
And then from Hecate's Blog I read this, Killer Son stabbed "Witch" Mother 21 times. This is up the road from my parents' home. Okay, yes, the man was a paranoid schizophrenic, but where do the excuses stop?
Where are the Churches denouncing such atrocities? Why is it just the Pagans who are standing up and shouting WTF? Why aren't the leaders of the faith that these deluded and monstrous people belong to actively distancing themselves from those ministers who condone such activities?
They just sit in the ivory towers.
