Don’t embarrass yourself by saying Galileo - because he was NOT sentenced to death at all.

And if had not been threatened with death to deny the truth would he have escaped the fire?

Don’t embarrass yourself by saying Bruno - because he was NOT sentenced to death for anything related to science but for heresy.

So, in your opinion, the church was justified in murdering people for heresy. A distinction without a difference. Murder is murder. Murder for proclaiming something a church doesn't agree with, because of science, or a difference over morals, or doctrine is all the same. Murder.

Nobody needs to make an embarrassment of themselves with false history. You've done a fine job of embarrassing yourself with the history of the church you have.

“And if had not been threatened with death to deny the truth would he have escaped the fire?”

He was NEVER threatened with death. There is not a single shred of evidence that he was. There is not even one statement, not one line, not one comment in the records that hints that he was ever threatened with death. He, in fact, could not be executed for what he was accused of. You probably didn’t even know that. No, instead, you’re posting the myth - and it is a myth - that he was threatened with death. He never was.

“So, in your opinion, the church was justified in murdering people for heresy.”

1) No one was murdered.
2) No one was murdered by the Church.
3) People were tried.
4) Some were executed (an extremely rare event).
5) No one was ever executed by the Church for it had no, and claimed no, authority to execute anyone, ever.

“A distinction without a difference. Murder is murder.”

There were no murders.

“Murder for proclaiming something a church doesn’t agree with, because of science, or a difference over morals, or doctrine is all the same. Murder.”

Again, no.

“Nobody needs to make an embarrassment of themselves with false history.”

You’re doing it right now. Again, WHAT “SCIENTIST” WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Galileo was NOT sentenced to death. So far you’ve come up empty (of course).

“You’ve done a fine job of embarrassing yourself with the history of the church you have.”

I am not even remotely embarrassed by the truth. You made a claim and failed to back it up. It was obvious the whole time you would not be able to back up your claim because it was false from the start. You apparently did not know you made a false claim. Read a book.
