Just stupid... the only similarity is Rome killed protestants and muslims

The Peace of Westphalia ~ a series of treaties promulgated in the mid 1600s which ended the 30 Years War AND established the basis of the modern nation state.

European people promised to never again go to war against each other on account of religion.

This was the beginning of a more permanent and rational Religious Tolerance in the West.

Think of it as having built on the principles set forth in the Edict of Nantes and the Treaty of London (1604).

These treaties were signed by the Pope, leaders of Catholic countries, leaders of Protestant countries and Protestant leaders.

Here's what is important about these treaties today ~ they were NOT signed by Jews, Moslems, Christian Orthodox, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists or Zen Buddhists, nor by Communists.

Whats this? A religion bashing thread that doesn’t pit Mormonism as the bad guy?...

What’s next a thread titled “Why Baptists aren’t true Christians”?
