Bump to one of the most important books ever written, "Fox's Book of Martyrs."

If not for books like this, history would be erased and the 100,000 Protestant men, women and children who were slaughtered for their faith would be forgotten.

Thanks for the post. I had no idea that "the church" had done this all in the name of GOD.

An Eyewitness Account of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre
by François Dubois
From the Musée Cantonal Des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne Switzerland

August 24, 1572, was the date of the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in France. On that day, over 400 years ago, began one of the most horrifying holocausts in history.

Your "eyewitness" testimony begins by noting the events are over 400 years old. Exactly how is this possible? Where does this alleged "eyewitness" testimony begin and end?

The descendants of the survivors that reached America were determined that this tragedy should not occur here. Many of them were prominent in the founding of the country. They knew that an armed citizenry in France would have prevented this tragedy from ever happening—and as a result—they gave us the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. They knew that freedom of religion and an armed citizenry go hand in hand:

I thought they were all murdered in their sleep? How would having arms have helped them?

Do you seriously wish to suggest that none of the "100,000" people murdered in their sleep (including the noblemen planning regicide) had any weaponry?
