It't not just witches that were persecuted it was academia, dissidents.. etc.

Skippy, I understand your point but the point I'm making is that James deliberately changed the meaning to suit his paranoia...if you doubt me, read his book, "Deamonologie" in which he details his fear of witches, demons etc.
This is one example of the Biblical text being altered by man, yet today, many so-called "fundamentalists" want to use every word in the book to degrade folks like me. Yes, times have changed but the "one way or else hell" mentality hasn't!
