Yet Junior just said mankind is not born depraved. Must be a bad air day.

Well, one would think that, if God is the only thing keeping people good, the prisons would be full of atheists. However, it appears that only 0.209 percent of that population is atheist, while 74 percent are Christians of one stripe or another.

Go figure.

depraved...

The socialist mass murderers of the 20th century vastly, exponentially, outpace any of their rivals....and that includes the Spanish Inquisition.

But, that is not the discussion. The point is that without God morality does not matter....everyone can have their own tailormade, designer morality of the moment. What difference does it make? Everyone's just gonna be forgotten dust, so what difference does it make?

So, comparing the Spanish Inquisition and the socialist mass murderers and the fact that both killed people is a legitimate question.

The real question is whether or not the Spanish Inquisition and the socialist mass murderers were following the Christian moral revelation.

The proper answer is that they were not.
