Pat 2012/06/15 21:32:05The Christian Religion have done the most evil deeds in the name of its god+8The Abrahamic Religions have, as a group, done the most harm. However, of the three Abrahamic religions, the Catholic Church has the absolutely the worst record of atrocities and crimes against humanity. And they're not done yet.






















More than 13,000 Conversos were put on trial during the first 12 years of the Spanish Inquisition. Hoping to eliminate ties between the Jewish community and Conversos, the Jews of Spain were expelled in 1492..
The Spanish Inquisition had been set up in part to prevent conversos from engaging in Jewish practices, which, as Christians, they were supposed to have given up.

The Spanish Inquisition had been set up in part to prevent conversos from engaging in Jewish practices, which, as Christians, they were supposed to have given up. However this remedy for securing the orthodoxy of conversos' religion was eventually deemed inadequate, since the main justification the monarchy gave for formally expelling all Jews from Spain was the "great harm suffered by Christians (i.e. conversos) from the contact, intercourse and communication which they have with the Jews, who always attempt in various ways to seduce faithful Christians from our Holy Catholic Faith".[14] The Alhambra Decree, which ordered the expulsion, was issued in January 1492. The number of Jews who left Spain is not even approximately known. Historians of the period give extremely high figures: Juan de Mariana speaks of 800,000 people, and Don Isaac Abravanel of 300,000. Modern estimates are much lower: Henry Kamen estimates that, of a population of approximately 80,000 Jews, about one half or 40,000 chose emigration.
Torture was also applied without distinction of sex or age, including children and the aged.
The next phase of the Inquisition began around 1531, when Pope Leo X extended the Inquisition to Portugal. Thousands of Jews came to Portugal after the 1492 expulsion. A Spanish style Inquisition was constituted and tribunals were set up in Lisbon and other cities. Among the Jews who died at the hands of the Inquisition were well-known figures of the period such as Isaac de Castro Tartas, Antonio Serrao de Castro and Antonio Jose da Silva. The Inquisition never stopped in Spain and continued until the late 18th century.
By the second half of the 18th century, the Inquisition abated, due to the spread of enlightened ideas and lack of resources. The last auto de fe in Portugal took place on October 27, 1765. Not until 1808, during the brief reign of Joseph Bonaparte, was the Inquisition abolished in Spain. An estimated 31,912 heretics were burned at the stake, 17,659 were burned in effigy and 291,450 made reconciliations in the Spanish Inquisition. In Portugal, about 40,000 cases were tried, although only 1,800 were burned, the rest made penance.
In 1908 Pope Saint Pius X renamed the organisation: it became the "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office". This in its turn became the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"[9] in 1965, which name continues to this day.
Why didn't the Jews simply go back to live among the civilized Muslims and go back to Israel? I think we all know the answer to that question.

it took spain almost 800 years to defeat the muslim occupation and the muslims were ruthless in their suppression

After 1492 the Spanish wanted to get rid of enablers,spies, and of course to consolidate control of their country "Spain for Spanish people", they did go to extremes but it was an extremely violent period of time..
The Crusades were a series of defensive wars fought over 100's of years to stop the invasion of Europe by the Muslims.
The Brits didn't care because profits were so good. The Queen sent an Armada up Chinese rivers to blow Chinese peasants to smithereens with shrapnel and chains fired out of cannon into the Chinese crowds. It was Imperial Terrorism on a grand scale. Check it out yourself.
There are no Muslim terrorists occupying our country. U.S. occupying forces have built bases all over the Middle East and Arab countries.
Ur point?
Germany was 90%+ Christian/Catholic Christian at the time of WWII. It was not atheists manning the gas chambers. It was not atheists being cruel and sadistic to the Jews. It was "CHRISTIANS!" The reason for such a population to be able to do such atrocities. Was they were in the belief Jews killed their fictitious deity.
In Germany during the Nazi era, a 1933 decree stated that "No National Socialist may suffer detriment... on the ground that he does not make any religious profession at all".[64] However, the regime strongly opposed "godless communism",[65][66] and most of Germany's atheist and largely left-wing organizations were banned the same year; some right-wing groups were tolerated by the Nazis until the mid 1930s.[67][68] In a speech made later in 1933, Hitler claimed to have "stamped out" the "atheistic movement".[64] Hitler made a speech during negotiations for the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933, where he argued against secular schools
According to Jewish American historian Lucy Dawidowicz, Anti-Semitism has a long history within Christianity. The line of "anti-Semitic descent" from Luther, the author of On the Jews and Their Lies, to Hitler is "easy to draw." In her The War Against the Jews, 1933-1945, she contends that Luther and Hitler were obsessed by the "demonologized universe" inhabited by Jews. Dawidowicz writes that the similarities between Luther's anti-Jewish writings and modern anti-Semitism are no coincidence, because they derived from a common hist...

"The German Christians (Deutsche Christen) constituted the strongest Protestant movement in Germany after the 1932 Church elections, with the aim of synthesising Christianity with the ideology of National Socialism. There were various groups within the German Evangelical Church including the Deutsche Christen and opposition factions that later split under the name Confessing Church. The Deutsche Christen factions were united in the goal of establishing a national socialist Protestantism [28] Deutsche Christen abolished what they considered to be Jewish traditions in Christianity, and some but not all rejected the Old Testament altogether. They rejected academic theology as sterile and not populist enough and were often anti-Catholic. On November 1933, A Protestant mass rally of the Deutsche Christen, which brought together a record 20,000 people, passed three resolutions:
Adolf Hitler is the completion of the Reformation,
Baptized Jews are to be dismissed from the Church
The Old Testament is to be excluded from Sacred Scriptures.[29]
A claim exists that Adolf Hitler converted to Protestantism and joined the German Christians, according to the National Secretary Klundt on April 25, 1933, in Königsberg, Eastern Prussia.[30] An official confirmation or denial was not issued by the Chancellor. But Gerhard Engel, one of Hitler's generals, reported that Hitler had told him: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so" (in an entry in Engel's diary during 1941)"
After Hitler took over and rose to power, party membership was not forbidden anymore and the Catholic Church actively looked for opportunities to work together with the Nazi government. At his trial Franz von Papen said that until 1936 the Catholic Church hoped for a Christian alignment to the beneficial aspects he said they saw in national socialism. (This statement came after Pope Pius XII ended Von Papen's appointment as Papal chamberlain and ambassador to the Holy See, but before his restoration under Pope John XXIII.)
Show me the speech where Hitler mentions Killing Jews in the name of God is a Christian's duty.
I don't know if there is a creator god or not -- but I can recognize baloney when I encounter it.
God doesn't control everything. We have free-will. That would be impossible if chemicals controlled everything (atheism) or if God controlled everything (as you falsely claim).
That is YOUR lie not an claim of anyone else.
STOP LYING
What non electro-chemical component of man exists under Atheism?
Of course you won't answer. You are too dishonest to admit logical fact.
The fact you are too dishonest to admit logical fact is your fault - not mine. I told the truth. You stick your head in the sand and lie.
You are a proven serial liar - and we both know it.
And why is George Bush's picture next to one of the options? Lol. Ugh.
Why you ignore the African religions? Thats a whole #!@#$ continent you forgot. A large one at that, with the longest homosapien history to boot. That's not cool bro. They need the opportunity to be judged to. ;o)
