Are witches evil? Why do people hate witches? Are they really that bad kind of existence as people describe them?
I don't think witches are evil because it is just an personal opinion that people have that witches are evil not good. People hate witches because they believe that the existence of witches are evil (just my opinion). People just want someone to blame or hate or that they can feel better, so they need to make someone or something be hated.

Witches are not evil because they are just one of the character in book. Also people shouldn't hate witches because if there are no withces in the book, it won't be fun enough. Withces in the novels make story to be more fun. So I like wiches

I don't think witches are evil. I personally think they're really cool, and I'm sure the people of the past would've thought that too, had the church/government not brainwashed the people into thinking that witches were inherently evil because they were a threat to the church/government's absolute power. However, the documented cases of witches in history are ones where they have done a lot evil things, like plant curses. If there were more witches who used their 'powers' for good then maybe they'd be more appreciated in society.

it all depends on the perspectives of people. there may be people that believes witches are not all bad. there may be people that wants all witches to be gone. they aren't that bad of a kind of existence because they have powers. if ALL witches use their power for good, it will help the community.

I think that witches are evil, since most witches we are familiar with are evil. If a female with supernatural power perform good deeds with the power, then she should be titled differently, since i believe that witches are the ones that perform evil deeds with their powers. In general, i also think that witches usually harm people just for the fun of it since many witches in stories or movies simply served as the antagonist without any particular reason.

I personally don't believe in witches so I can't really judge if they are evil or not... But if they did exist, I feel like there would be a good witch and a bad witch. But even if you were a good witch, people would still probably shame you because it's unusual.

Are witches evil? - If the term refers to women who use magical powers, then I wouldn't say they are necessarily evil. If they become consumed by their powers, then they become evil, but if they maintain their morals and sense of right and wrong, then they stay good.
Why do people hate witches? - Because they are different from them. We always fear what we don't know. Magic is not a common thing to us and it can't be explained by our basic standards of knowledge which is science. Also, because of their magic, they are essentially more powerful than us, so it's natural that we are afraid of them and then thus desire to get rid of them.
Are they really that bad kind of existence as people describe them? - We'd never know. Unless we come across a real witch, we can't really tell. But personally, if there are witches, then I think they are simply a poor ostracized group of special people. Everyone is different from everyone else due to our individuality, but they just happen to be different in another special way.

Personally, nope witches are not evil. I believe there is an explainable reason behind those things that happened but back then people couldn't find any proof, unlike nowadays we got scientific proof for everything (which is kind of annoying sometimes).
People hate witches because they are different? Pretty sure not all people back then hate and believe in witches lol but they have to following the trend because thats the only way to survive in the society aka human nature?
Ah no we'd never know but still though every society has good, bad people mixed together.

I do not think they are evil. Of course some of them are evil. If witches can use magic, that can be good and bad depends on situation.

it depends on the person, the power itself is not evil. it is the person who controls the power that determines the evilness. people back then hates withches because they are just scared of the unexplainable things, so they would blame the gifted people. i personally think having a witchcraft power is pretty cool. if te person is using it for good purposes, he could change the world to a better place.

Are witches evil? - I think witches are not evil, but are just thought to be evil. Actually, witches have not existed and people merely made some women to be "witches." According to "The Crucible" and "Sarah Good's witch trial," witches did not harm others, but people thought they harm others.
Why do people hate witches? - People think witches harm others and violate the law from Christianity. So the people drove innocent women to stand at witch trial and killed them.
Are they really that bad kind of existence as people describe them? _ As I said above, witches are not the bad kinds as people described them. In other words, witch itself does not exist and other evil people accused suspected women of being witches...

I think people hate witches because others hate them as well. It's an example of a conformity. I don't believe witches are evil and furthermore, they don't exist. I don't think that they are really bad women and it's really ridiculous how innocent people get accused of being witches.

Well, according to the general perceptions of witches by the society, witches are evil. Afterall, witches are a representation of an evil character. I also think it's hard to make a definite decision of whether witches are evil or not because that just depends on how we set their characteristics. If the witch has a bad characteristic, then the witch is evil. If the witch doesn't have a bad characteristic, the witch is not evil.
