Was every prisoner executed for being a heretic? And please tell metmom that Calvin was responsible for Servetus death. She seems to have missed that in her education.

Some of them got away - APPARENTLY.

And, NO, I will not lie to Metmom nor anyone else about Calvin and Servetus. If you had read the link I provided you would have seen that not only did Calvin NOT start the fire that burned Servetus, he counseled him to recant his false teachings about the Trinity, he plead for mercy for him and he was ignored since he had no official position in Geneva. It sounds like Servetus had only himself to blame for his end since he went to Geneva KNOWING he was a wanted man even there. Geneva only got him because the Catholic Church in France boggled his imprisonment else the Catholic Church would have been the ones to kill him like they had many before and after him.

But, I AM curious why you are hitting on this topic like this. Is your intent to smear all Calvinists by association because Calvin has been blamed (unrightly) for one man's death? All Protestants? That's a slippery slope in light of the multiple and verifiable times the Roman Catholic Church was guilty of far worse.
