As in human sacrifice and war? Romans tortured Christians because they
wouldn't worship their Gods, and when Christians gained power
Christians tortured non-Christians because they wouldn't worship their
God. In England Catholics tortured Protestants, and when Protestants
took power protestants tortured Catholics. And most wars have a strong
religious component, even World War 2; the leader of Germany hated the
Jews and used that hatred as a political weapon to gain power, but
without religion there wouldn't even be classes of people called
"Jews" and "non-Jews" to hate and opppress because there would just be
"people". As for the 911 attacks, well, I won't point out the obvious.
*The following sewage is a quotation from a speech Adolf Hitler gave
on April 12 1922:
*
/"Today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the
Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting
for the work of the Lord. [...] My feelings as a Christian points me
to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once
in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews
for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who,
God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In
boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage
which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the
scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How
terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison.
To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize
more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He
had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to
allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for
truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate
that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as
a Christian I have also a duty to my own people."/
And people criticize Trump and compare him to Hitler. Hitler sounds
like an educated man compared to The Donald.
