So now I'm a Nazi??

My memories, so nothing reliable and the results google gives me on the subject are more related to the Holocaust.

According to Kirk Durston, National Director, New Scholars Society: The most realistic figure for the Spanish Inquisition puts the total killed from AD1480 to AD1808 at up to 31,912. Finally, records indicate that the number of "witches" killed may be over 30,000. Some argue that records don't tell everything and suggest that maybe even 100,000 were killed. These three events, totaling over 264,000 killed, are thought to be the largest atrocities perpetrated by one or another form of Christendom.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Thanks, I stand corrected. Is this includes only the Spanish Inquisition or also the victims in the rest of the Europe?

The Pope has been to Scotland today on a "state" visit and has annoyed me. Apparently atheism is something the Nazi's preached, ergo all Atheists are Nazi's: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11332515[^] ... and if people listen to the atheists/agnostics we're pretty much doomed. Sorry, but I'm really not in the mood to take lessons from the institution that brought us such enlightened concepts as the crusades, the inquisition, witch burning and the covering up of child abuse.

And the religionists moan about some atheists getting all 'shouty'. Maybe some are getting 'shouty' to try and redress the balance?
You'd have to get bloody 'shouty' to balance Ian Paisley! :laugh:

And your response is to imply that all Catholics are child abusers.

If the mitre fits... In fact that's not what he said at all - you chose to read it that way which is, presumably, why you got down voted.

I take downvotes on the chin. I don't know whether you downvoted me or not, but at least you had the courage to challenge me.

Best way, really. It's only cyberspace: you can't take it seriously.

Wow... You know, I was pretty much in the "live and let live" camp until now... But after a speech like that... #@&* the pope. Normally I'd dress this up in some flowery language for my own personal amusement... But it's Friday morning, and a public figure has invoked Godwin's Law against me... So I say this in no uncertain terms to the 99% of you who can guess what the garbled word would be... #%)& the pope.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

He might take you up on that offer, if you are male and young enough.
