The argument I hate the most is when some catholic church hater blames the church for all the misery through history and then brings up the Spanish Inquisition (and I'm not even Catholic but it still annoys me)...

These idiots obviously don't have a clue about history.

Historians estimate that between 3-5 thousand people were killed by the Spanish Inquisition... that's it! 3 to 5 THOUSAND.

Compare that to the 61,000,000, yep 61 MILLION that the soviet communists killed, or if you prefer a medieval comparison Henry VIII is estimated to have executed over 72,000.

What about Bloody Mary you say? she only executed 300, yep 3 HUNDRED.

It is obvious to me people with hidden agendas are pushing the lie that the church and its supporters have committed the worst crimes in history, when the facts don't even come close to supporting that claim.
