[Harry Rex Vonner]

Yet again, the "witch trials" was used to illustrate that "holy zeal" can lead to travesties done in the name of devotion to God. Your point about "all races, all creeds" doing dastardly deeds for "the glory of God" is a compelling reason why freedom of conscience is of such singular importance, and why reading "we" expansively is so important.

The idea of "freedom of conscience" is a fraud. In modern, liberal, amoral America, it would likely be described as "if it feels good, do it". Such a philosophy leads to ultimate destruction. We must have absolutes and those absolutes, in my opinion, must be based on the Word of God. Otherwise, why bother because, in the end, there would be nothing.
