THE KILLINGS OF "WITCHES"
The following are all documented incidents in the killings of
"witches." ONLY incidents solely relating to witchcraft accusations
have been included. Bear in mind that this is probably NOT all of
them. Some were guilty. Most were probably innocent. Some were
Satanists, others were not. Some were just senile. ALL on this list
died as a result of a witchcraft accusation.

Frank Donovan says: "Several modern writers claim that 9,000,000
people met their deaths during the witchcraft persecution but offer no valid
statistical records to support this estimate. On the other end of the scale is
the 'educated guess' of R.H.Robbins and others that the total may have been
about 200,000. Contemporary records are spotty and incomplete. Many deaths
were probably never recorded and other archives have been lost thru time." It
is this writer's opinion that - one-half million - executed is a reasonable
estimated total.

1) You must have the NAME of the person killed. If all that is known
is HOW MANY were killed, this will be acceptable.
2) You must have a DATE. Day-month-year is preferred, but month-year

To list the six million names from the Holocaust of World War II alone
would be too much, and beyond comprehension. They are NOT forgotten!
Neither are the martyred Baha'is in Iran, nor the Muslim/Christian/Jew

What is the nature of the Jehovah God. Many times we like to see him
as Spirit and Truth, other times as Love incarnate. Perhaps we could
look at the not so nice God to get a little better look at his real,
non-glossed over, raw character.
MASS KILLINGS AND CRUELTIES ORDERED, COMMITTED, APPROVED BY GOD
The entire population of the earth at the time of Noah, except for
eight survivors, in a flood. "And every living substance was
destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and
cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and
they were destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained alive,
and they that were with him in the ark." Gen 7:23 [Jehovah, the
first mass-murderer, starts His bloody carrier.]
Every inhabitant of Sodom and Gammorrah, and the surrounding plain,
by "brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven." Gen 19:24 Lot
and his family fled. [What about little innocent children in the
city and around on the surrounding plain.]
All the first born of every family in Egypt, including children of
those in dungeons and the successor to the throne of Egypt's
Pharaoh, by God on the first Passover night. Ex 12:29 [Of those
that are in prison and the first born of the cattle??????]
All the hosts of Pharaoh, including the captains of 600 chariots,
who drown in the Red Sea while pursuing the Israelites. "... and the
Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea." Ex 14:27-28
[The Christian God is so childish He has to murder instead of using
His brain. He could have made them too sick to walk.]
Victims who perish in the conquest of seven nations in Canaan by the
Jews under Gods guidance so that the Jews can occupy their lands as
God had promised Abraham in Deut 7:1,2. The Hittites, Girgashites,
Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites were all
destroyed, every man, woman and child and mercy was shown to none.
[Would have made Adolph and Custer feel good.]
Amalek and his people, by the edge of the sword, because God wants
to fight with Amalek from generation to generation (maybe just for
fun). The Israelites win if Aaron helps Moses to hold up his hands.
[At times of crisis, God gets whimsical. People are dying everywhere
and God wants to see Moses's palms.] Ex 17:11,16
3,000 Israelites die at the hands of their brothers, the Levites,
every man, their brothers and their companions. Ex. 32:27 [These
were the orders of God who would brook no disloyalty, a self styled
"jealous" God.]
Rulers of Israel, eleven in number after spying for forty days that
wouldn't invade the Promised Land are killed by a plague. Num. 14:37
[The first term limitation?]
250 Levite princes of the Jews who challenged the leadership of
Moses. When Moses points out the injustice of killing the whole
congregation God relents briefly, then swallows up two of the
princes, "their wives, sons and little children", then sent a fire
to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40 [The Christian God
lies too.]
14,700 people die by plague who protest to Moses about the prior
killing of the 250 princes. Aaron makes an atonement to stop the
plague. Num 16:41-49 [The Christian God seems bent upon destroying
helpless people.]
The Canaanites at Hormah, utterly destroyed, every man woman and
child, by God at the request of the Jews. Num 21:3
The Amorites at Hesbon, Israel "took all these cities". Moses sums
up the slaughter: "We... utterly destroyed the men and the women and
the little ones." Num 21:25 and Deut 2:34
All the sons and subjects of Og, about whom the Lord said to Moses:
"Fear him (the king of Bashan) not, for I have delivered him into
thy hand." None was left alive. Num 21:34-35
24,000 Israelites who cohabitated with Moabite women and worshiped
Baal. "And the Lord said to Moses, take all the heads of the people,
and hang them up before the Lord against the sun..." Num 25:4,9
[Definitely a civil rights violation.]
All the males and the kings of the Middianites, because they
worshiped idols, and all their wives and male children were sold
into slavery. "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, vex the
Midianites, and smite them." Num 25:16-17 and Num 31:7-8
The subjects of two kingdoms on the east side of the Jordan, in
order that Reuben and Gad might seize the land for their own as a
gift from God. Num 32
The Ammonites, decimated by the Lord so that Lot might possess their
land. Deut 2:19-21
The Horims, slain by God in order that Esau might take their land.
Deut 2:22
... Some minds should be cultivated but others plowed under.

Deut 2:22
All the citizens of Jericho, except for a whore and her family.
"And they utterly destroyed all in the city, man and woman, young
and old, and ox... with the edge of the sword." Josh 6 "They" make
a grizzly game of it , using the superstitious number 7 popular in
the Bible. [Joshua competes with Moses, the leader he replaced, for
the title of Gods number 1 hit man as he follows Gods orders.]
12,000 men, women and children die in a treacherous ambush
conceived and directed by God. Joshua, with the usual mindless
hocus-pocus, holds out his spear until all the inhabitants are
dead. The city was then burned. Afterwards Joshua builds an altar
and offers thanks to God. Josh 8:1-30 [A political monster worships
a Murderous Monster of a Deity.]
All the people of Makkedah, and their king hanged, by Joshua.
Joshua 10:28
All the people of Libnah. Not a soul remained. Joshua 10:29-30

punishment.]

10:33
All the people of Eglon, none remaining, are killed. Joshua
10:34-35
All the people of Hebron, "All the cities and souls that were in
them". Joshua 10:36-37
All the inhabitants of the country of the hills, and the south of
the vale, and the springs and their kings, he left none remaining
but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel
commanded. Joshua 10:40 [Joshua simply kills everyone else.]
The inhabitants of Gaza, Askerlon, and Ekron, killed by Judah and
Caleb. Judges 1:18-19
10,000 Moabites, killed by the Israelites. Judges 3:29
10,000 Perizzites and Canaanites die at the hand of Judah and
Simeon. Judges 1:4 [Isn't it nice how the body counts always come
out as nice round numbers?]
120,000 Midianites die by the hands of Gideons three hundred men.
Judges 8:10
50,070 people of Bethshemesh, struck dead by God because a few of
them looked at/into the Ark carrying the stone tablets. 1st Samuel
6:19 [The murderous Christian God keeps the grave-diggers busy with
overtime burying the innocents.]
70,000 victims (more round numbers?) die of a pestilence sent by
God because David took a census. 11 Sam 24:15
Although Adam and Eve have no sense of right and wrong when they
eat of the Tree of Knowledge, God accuses them of sinning and
tosses them out of their home. Prejudging the human race he then
decrees that all shall suffer for this "sin" by returning to the
dust from which Adam was made. The Christian God curses women with
painful birth. Gen 3
Cain kills Abel because God is partial to altar sacrifices,
preferring animals to grain. Gen 4 [The Christian God plainly
doesn't like vegetarians.]
At the time of the Flood, a disaster not uncommon to the tradition
of other religions, Noah, an imbiber, and his family are the only
persons deemed righteous enough to be saved from drowning. All
others, including pregnant women and children, are given no
opportunity to survive the rising waters. Gen 7,8
Again attributing sin to innocents God fails to find even 10
persons, or embryos in any stage of gestation, saintly enough to
escape the fire and brimstone (Biblical napalm). God turns Lots
wife into a pillar of salt when she looks back in horror at what is
happening to her friends and neighbors. Gen 19 [Today many
Christians oppose any abortion as a God forbidden murder. Where is
the logical precedent here? The Omnipotent Christian God is the
Abortionist to abort all abortionist.]
Abraham is certainly willing to do what ever the Lord demands of
him, even when God orders him to kill his son. But all turns out Ok
when an angel yells really loud to Abraham that it was just a test
to see how much he loved God. Isaac is very lucky indeed. Abraham
may have been near deaf at his age and the Angel was calling long
distance from heaven. [Truly a miracle.] Gen 22
When Sarah gets jealous and insists, proven Abraham consigns Hagar
and Ishmael to the deserts to die. Gen 21 [Does this qualify as
domestic abuse or violence?]
Pharaoh orders all midwifes to strangle new born Jewish children.
Of course they refused. Pharaoh then orders them to throw the
babies into the river. Ex 1:18,22 [What's interesting to note here
is that some Christian parents at the present time deny their
children blood-curdling television and give them blood-curdling
Bibles.]
Moses kills an Egyptian deliberately for beating an Israelite. Ex
2:12 He then becomes God's Lawgiver. One of his commandments
straight from God is thou shalt not kill (murder). [Two wrongs
don't make a right. Was Moses a murder even before he led the
Israelite rebellion??]
God tries to kill Moses, because his son by a Middianite woman is
not circumcised. His wife, angered, circumcises the boy with a
sharp rock and throws the foreskin at Moses's feet. God then lets
Moses off the hook. Ex 4:24-26 [God has priorities, including the
horrible genital mutilation of young boys.]
After first purposely hardening Pharaoh's heart so that he will not
see the Israelites free, God, through the black magic of Aarons
rod, visits ten terrible plagues upon the unsuspecting Egyptians.
Ex 7-11 [Even the innocent animals are victims of this truly evil
black magic.]
The needless, brutal slaughter of the Passover night is the
intended result of another hardening of Pharaohs heart by an
egotistical maniacal God who wishes to parade his power. Ex 12:29
[Thus God continues his propensity for making the innocents suffer
for the guilty which culminates in the crucifixion of His own
innocent Son Jesus.]
More heart hardening by God causes Pharaoh to chase the Israelites
into the Red Sea, where the soldiers die by drowning. Ex 14:28 [If
God could harden pharaoh heart he could have caused pharaoh to let
them go free. Nothing to it.]
For "offering strange fire before the Lord", two sons of Aaron,
priests of the tabernacle, are struck dead. Lev 10:1-2 [Not to
worry, replacements are on the way.]
A blasphemer curses the name of God in the wilderness camp, and God
orders him stoned to death: "And he children of Israel did as the
Lord commanded Moses. Lev 24:23 [The rocky terrain of Palestine
broods ill for miscreants and protesters. (Again God could have
changed his heart and not killed him.)]
Israelites who complain, with good reason, in the desert, are
burned with fire by God in the uttermost parts of the camp. Num
11:1 [Evidently the Christian God loves the smell of roasting,
poaching, baking, broiling or burning human flesh?]
Seeing that the Jews are dissatisfied on their journey to the
Promised Land because they have no flesh to eat as they had in
Egypt, God typically loses his temper again and in a childish way
sends a vast excess of quail, enough to cover the ground a days
travel in each direction and they stack up to a height of more than
3 feet. As the people started to eat the fruits of their labor "God
smote them with a very great plague." Num 11:31-33 [I guess it was
better to be a vegetarian after all. Remember Cain?]
The Israelites are forced to wander for 40 years in the desert so
that the older people would die. Num 14 [The Christian God despises
old people.]
A man caught picking up sticks on the Sabbath is ordered by God to
be put to death, and the wandering tribes comply. Num15:35-36 [A
novel approach to the homeless problem?]
Challenge of the authority of Moses (remember him murdering people
in Egypt?) by anyone always brought out the worse in God, and he
buries _alive_ the wives and children of the two princes who oppose
Moses. Num 16:32-35
After striving to reach the Promised Land for forty years, Moses
and Aaron are denied entry because Moses had struck a rock in anger
to obtain water. Moses is allowed to look at it once though just
before he dies. Num 20:11-12 and Deut 34 [The Christian God might
have shown a little compassion for Moses who was probably at his
wits end.]
After striving to reach the Promised Land for forty years, Moses
and Aaron are denied entry because Moses had struck a rock in anger

God turns Miraim into a leper after she criticizes Moses for
marring an Ethiopian woman. Such unions were contrary to Jewish
custom and also disapproved of by God for everyone _except_ Moses.
Num 12:10 [The Christian God is a two-faced, misogynist Dog.]
I looks pretty plain to me the Jehovah God is really Jehovah War
God who likes to childishly parade his power before the masses
and destroy those who don't like his totalitarian regime.
Jehovah is the God of Evil, many more times worse than any Satan
we can conceive of.
Now, for gawd's followers and their handiwork:
