What conclusion can we draw?
'''Galatians 5:19-20''' ''"Now the works of the flesh are manifest , which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleaness, lasciviousness, idolatry, '''witchcraft''', hatred, variance... and such like; of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.''

==Campaigns against witches==
In some Western countries, the mere accusation of being a witch was enough to assure conviction and execution. This made it easy for an unpopular woman to be falsely accused.
Perhaps tens of thousands of women were murdered, merely because someone maliciously denounced them in this way.
Some people have concluded from this that we ought to put aside the entire idea of witchcraft being evil, so that it removes the grounds for false accusation. Others maintain that witchcraft is against God's law because it's real and is a real problem. Whether these two views contradict each other is a matter of controversy.
