Christmas: Glass Box Edition

[Free Arabian Nation]

Maybe "you will not suffer if you don't kill witches"?

That's some incredible bullshit you're trying to pull right there.

What the hell, does "Suffer not the Xeno to live" mean "Oh yeah, Aliens are cool. Don't kill them"?

[Infected Mushroom]

I was under the impression standard Christian theology held everyone to be sinners/unholy

it wouldn't be specific to her

Sin may be sin, but shit like daemon worshiping in order to genocide a continent would be stake-burning by medieval standards and firing squad by modern standard

worshipping demons is not necessary for Annie to use her powers

She relied mostly on her raw magical power and augmentations though stolen relics

Probably demonic still, or at least be considered demonic by most if not all churches

[Heloin]

How do you not read "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" literally? I'll be honest there's not much interpretation to that one.

I would contextualise it to that narrow time period only

it was a specific command to a specific group (the Israelites) during a specific time

not a command to stand for all time

It's a call to kill witches. You're just desperately trying to dig yourself out of this hole now that you know there is precedent for just flat out killing Witch Hitler. Hell there is now precedent for my kill all witches cry from earlier in the thread.

Traditional Christian theology is generally at odds with the Order of Magic.

However, the Church has reinterpreted many of the texts so that the Order can co-exist with the non magical kingdoms. It was deemed necessary to preserve the peace after the Great Magical War.

There are lots of tools that can be used, contextual interpretation of Scripture.

this justification has been used by the non magical kingdoms to launch periodic pogroms against magic users

it was one of the reasons Annie started the war against the non magical kingdoms

Maybe there was a good reason? Not only are magic users daemonic but they produce witch hitlers.

All that just sounds like Order of Moron propaganda to me.

Annie was the only witch in history to really fight back on this scale

for most of history, its been pogroms ordered by the kings and the villages against magic users

there was a lot of oppression and massacres of magic users

She should have got the death penalty.

Witch Hitler is not a freedom fighter.

it depends on which side of the war you are on

So, they finally rose up and what did they do? They genocided millions.

They are not a race, not a religion, but a choice like driving on the left instead of the right side and they have proven themselves to be power-hungry maniacs. They must be destroyed for the sake of the human race. *quite German music in the background*

[Heloin]

Witch Hitler is not a freedom fighter.

No, not at all. If the Order of Morons thinks she's a freedom fighter then me killing them off is only more justified.

You're forgetting that magic users fought on both sides. The Order chose to side with the human kingdoms.

You said she genocided fairies.

Annie was the only witch in history to really fight back on this scale

for most of history, its been pogroms ordered by the kings and the villages against magic users

there was a lot of oppression and massacres of magic users

But there's an international order of magic users so powerful as to be on par with all the mundane nations of Europe, and some kind of magical war that caused a Christian reformation.

You can't have it both ways, magic users can't be an oppressed minority and also totally dominate international politics.

The Order formed an uneasy peace with the Church and the non magical kingdoms

their policy of non-intervention with respect to pogroms really really upset Annie and her supporters

Doesn't matter, they still cannot be trusted

Try as you might, you will never turn Witch Hitler into a plucky resistance fighter.

No matter how you expand her origin story. You can make her an orphan, give her a floppy-eared dog and a stirring theme song, and we will never sympathise with her.

The focus (politically) is to rebuild Europe from the destruction and maintain the status quo with the variable elements in the victorious alliance, the non magical kingdoms, the fairy tribes, and the Order.

There's no tension between them as of now.

What if it was a floppy-eared cat?

[Heloin]

No, not at all. If the Order of Morons thinks she's a freedom fighter then me killing them off is only more justified.

The Order fought against her.

You mean the people who are keeping her alive for no reason? Probably just a bunch of Quislings. Only pretended to like non-witches in order to not be killed off probably and now are showing there true colours.

many of her followers and supporters viewed her as such though

the idea of building a benevolent magical kingdom is to liberate magic users from oppression

that's in keeping with their traditions, code and worldview
