If you're going to bring up the history of the Catholic Church etc., fine, I'll own up to Torquemada and the Inquisition, Galileo's suppression, and so forth. As a Catholic Christian I own that.

You forgot the Thirty Years' War, which killed about a third of the population of central Europe (and, yes, you do have to scale all figures for population and tech level...).

I've already conceded 4.5 million deaths in 2,000 years of Christendom. See all posts.

By the way, I remember debating you on a different thread. You never quite got around to explaining your own moral system, did you?

Skeptics love to shoot spitballs and smugly congratulate themselves at having "debunked" whatever their target was. It is, however much more difficult to build and defend your own ethical system. Care to try?
