And no acts like this have done or have been carried out by Jewish people since they entered into the Promised Land.
The point is, violence from Christians and Jews/Christianity o and Judaism (or in their name of these faiths) is all in the past.
The Inquisition was not the last of serious persecution by Christians. Have you forgotten Oliver Cromwell? I can tell you that the Irish Catholics have not.
The French Revolution was a time of terror for more than just the nobility. Catholic clergy were hunted down and slaughtered.
And in the Second German Reich under Bismarck there was a period of time when the “May Laws” were enacted against the Catholics in the Rheinland, Westphalia, Baden and Bavaria. Lots of people who emigrated from Germany during the 1870-1880’s did so because of religious oppression. The laws were so egregious that they decided to nullify them.
The Spanish Civil War has been touted as somehow Generalisimo Franco, for no reason, went after the leftists and imprisoned them. But the rest of the story is that Spanish Communists were invading monasteries and killing priests and nuns. Our news media conveniently forgets that part of the story.
My only point is to remind people that the Inquisition is not the only time that persecution for religious ideology took place.
So Mr Maher, I’m a Christian. Are you ready to take your beliefs to the next level, by imprisoning me or executing me?
Not all religions are dangerous; only the dangerous ones are dangerous. Most deadly is the religion of fundamentalist secularism.
Bill is an idiot. Pray for his soul, the fool.
He Bill Maher! If you think religions are dangerous, you ought to see what secular societies are like. Atheist communists killed 60 million in Russia, and 80 million in China.
The body pile of atheism is far larger than the body pile of religions. (Excluding Islam, of course. It's murdered more people than any other organization.)
That is in fallacious hasty over-generalization based on his secular humanistic worldview and his emotionalistic hatred of religion.There is no moral equivalency between a religion that is pro life and pro natural rights like Christianity and one that is anti life and anti natural rights like mohammedanism.
I tend to agree.
I view religions in the same way I do political parties. I belong to none.
My personal beliefs more align with Christianity and conservatism. I used to say my personal beliefs were in line with “Republicans”, but I’m not sure that’s true anymore.
Show me a society that was not founded on religion. So, where there is no options, there is no problem.
Atheists are right up with the Muslims in mass murder. See communism and the French Revolution.
Typical LIBERAL a$$hole behavior.
