I have a friend who's considering becoming a wiccan, and she's looked up a few sites, given me the URLs to the ones she thought presented it in an unprejudiced way. Anyway, what I've heard is that that line originally, in the Hebrew or whatever, read 'thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live.' It was changed by King James, who was apparently paranoid about magic, witches, supernatural powers, so on, in the King James Bible. Are there any Bible experts out there who could tell me if this is pure rumor? It sounds reasonable to me.

She doesn't. I meant that I've read it on the websites she was checking out. They gave me the impression that it was more of a 'Look, we're not evil, you don't need to be paranoid and/or try to convert us'.
