. . . well, what I was meaning was, you think they would have the decency to at least have it done for the second coming, eh?

I mean, Darth Vader had the death star operational for the Emperor in time for the final battle, yes? :shrug:

Maybe they just need more men? :D
 
They are so going to hell for that.
They need to keep a counter for how many Camels they pulp through the eye of a needle though.
And the food stall will be ridiculous, 5 loaves, 2 fish, share it between you we've sold out....

In those early times there was no understanding of mental illness so peole acting that way were deemed "witches" or under the influence of demonic forces. Does not surprise me given the level of medical science at the time.

Only some people used the effects of mental illness, in combination with much else, to justify official witch trials and similar State terrorism.

Mental illness is universal, official witch trials and similar State inquisitions not so.

The people hanged at Salem (not burned) were not, most of them, mentally ill. The relevant mental pathology would seem to be that of the accusers, interrogators, and executioners.

My guess would be that the incarcerations and interrogations of the accused would make a more profitable theatrical display than their trials - the circumstances under which almost all were brought to confession, and so many died before trial, strike me as likely to be more entertaining to the general body of fundamentalist Christians than the sober and public entering of pleas and pronouncements of sentence.

While they are at it, their recreation of a "first century ME village" also has possibilities known to attract money from the devout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_prostitution

I'm waiting til they expand the park to include new rides and attractions:
  • "Inquisition: The Experience" - A full 3D experience using the latest technology to recreate the glorious Christian period in Spain's golden century. Watch as Torquemada makes Jews drink molten lead while Catholic armies drive the Muslims out of Iberia!
  • "Witch Burning Thunder!" - The tallest, fastest wooden roller coaster in North America. Must be at least 60" and born again to ride!
  • "Crusade-Land" - (Located next to Vlad-The-Impaler's Kiddy Kingdom) A miniature re-creation of Levant and all the areas where people slaughtered thousands of other people in the name of their god.
  • "Pizarro On Ice" - Watch in awe as Spanish conquistadores & their Catholic monks exterminate an entire south American culture while converting their few remaining people to the church. A MUST FOR THE KIDS!

Unfortunately many were probably mentally ill or perhaps even most of them. If you put yourself into their understandinding of mental illness its easy to see how mistakes can be made. Some maybe even criminally insane. The record of which is the trial itself. Many cultures probably never had a trials. Some may have been false accusations, political persecutions as well.

But then trials themselves were not universal.

Remember we are talking about over two centuries ago. This type of mental illness is ver rare AND the incidence goes up as populations increase, just a matter of percentage.

I understand and I was trying to be a little sarcastic.

They would think they were with you just because you brought up your experience.

But once they really understood how you view their version of religiosity they would not want to continue the ride, in fact they would get off at any cost.

They don't call them fundamentalists for nothing.

I could see you standing at the gate to the ride with everyone making a wide sweeping arc away from the entrance, whispering to each other in a cowering mannner.

That's the ride to hell ! The one nobody comes back from with their dogma intact.
