The Christian concept of Crusading and burning heretics

WRONG! This was NOT a "Christian concept" but the work of the Roman Catholic Church.

Do not confuse the two.

Evangelical Christians like Jerry Fallwell and Pat Robertson would have been burned at the stake right alongside the Jews and other "heretics". That was the fuel that ignighted "Protestantism".

Well, I never said that the Crusades and burnings were an accurate interpretation of Jesus' words, merely that it resonates with much that's in the Old Testament and Koran.

As for it being a "Catholic concept," that's only partly true. While Protestants were burning in Spain and France, Catholics were drawn and quartered in England, Ireland, and othewise being killed in the Holy Roman Empire and Scandanavia.

This was NOT a "Christian concept" but the work of the Roman Catholic Church.

It's true that the burning of heretics was not a Protestant practice.

Protestants killed Catholic "heretics" by hanging, drawing and quartering, or by simple beheading (if they were nobility).

However, the people involved were just as dead, weren't they, berned?
