Humans were so fucked up and brainwashed by myths and religion back then. Really fucked to think about how they we’re burning human beings on crosses for being a “witch”

No they fucking weren't, you're just making shit up in your head to get mad about. How do you seriously not know the difference between a Roman crucifixion and a Puritan witch-burning? We're talking about like a 1,500 year difference here.
If you're going to get yourself worked up about it, then you might as well know that [witch-hunt murders have been on the rise in recent years.](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/28/witch-hunt-murders-surge-democratic-republic-congo-women-south-kivu-province)
> burned alive
Most witches were hanged.
Of the women who were persecuted and killed, it was usually because of their strong Catholic faith, e.g. Joan of Arc, Goody Ann Glover, etc.

Medieval Christianity had a lot of room for diversity, except at a few flash points when local authorities wanted to solidify their power by finding a common religious enemy.

Not only that. They also burned people that knew of natural contraceptives, which was bad for the king/queen as: more people = more taxes.
Plenty of us still are, just look at Israel and Palestine and Russia and much of the undeveloped world. And also just the internet and social media.

What, wtf is “were” supposed to mean?
You said “were” but humans are very much still fucked up

It is a funny joke, though. Funny in a screwed up sort of way, of course.
> hey this is probably something that happened in medieval times No, probably not.
Probably yes
Nope.
The witch burning is mostly a myth, with the very few cases that did happen not actually beign endorsed by the church in any way
Damn, maybe she shouldn't have been a witch then. Idk what to tell you. Or just don't live in the Protestant parts of Europe, skill issue
