“Giving the death penalty to scientists who publish is another thing...”
And who did that happen to?
Don’t embarrass yourself by saying Galileo - because he was NOT sentenced to death at all.
Don’t embarrass yourself by saying Bruno - because he was NOT sentenced to death for anything related to science but for heresy.
So who are you talking about?
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.
Why such a histrionic post???
