Some would say the same thing about any part of the bible you
picked.

Exodus 22:18
English Standard Version (�2001)
?You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

New American Standard Bible (�1995)
"You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

GOD'S WORD� Translation (�1995)
"Never let a witch live.

King James Bible
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

American King James Version
You shall not suffer a witch to live.

Christian engineers have to believe in witches too??

I do suspect any woman who had great skill in engineering in medieval
times probably got killed as a witch..
Maybe that's why there so few female engineers.
Christianity burned them all at the stake a long time ago. :P

'She's knows force vectors!.. WITCH! Get her!'

You missed it, as usual.

If you don't believe in God, nothing happens.

It's when you _do_ believe that things start happening.

You cherry-pick, cheater.

The dead have been raised, the blind given sight, the deaf hearing, and
the barren, children.

More a miracle, perhaps, that He has kept it from me.
