Global Warming lies are killing more men than even Christianity
has!!
Christianity has been more of a threat to society. Let the
historical record speak for itself...
Ancient Pagans
* As soon as Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire by
imperial edict (315), more and more pagan temples were
destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
* Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were
slain.
* Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in
Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon,
the Heliopolis.
* Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of
Heliopolis were famous as "temple destroyer." [DA468] * Pagan
services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
* Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children
executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan
statues. [DA469]
According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously
all Christian teachings..." * In 6th century pagans were
declared void of all rights. * In the early fourth century the
philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian
authorities. [DA466] * The world famous female philosopher
Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments
by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named
Peter, in a church, in 415. [DO19-25]
Mission
* Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling
to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30] * Peasants of
Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes:
between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain
5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223] * Battle of Belgrad
1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235] * 15th century Poland:
1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the
Order. Number of victims unknown. [DO30] * 16th and 17th
century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized"
Ireland, where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts
lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common
of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing."
One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey
Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the
heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were
killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies...
and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie",
which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate
terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde
fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the
grounde". Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the
carnage. [SH99, 225]
Crusades (1095-1291)
* First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
* Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary
6/12/96 thousands. [WW23] * 9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon
(then Turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27] * Until
January 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles
conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30] * After 6/3/98
Antiochia (then Turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000
slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women and children) killed.
[WW32-35] Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women
found in [the enemy's] tents - save that they ran their lances
through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler
Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60] * Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98
thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already
stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians"
said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36] * Jerusalem conquered
7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (Jewish, Muslim, men, women,
children). [WW37-40] In the words of one witness: "there [in
front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people
were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after
that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our
Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of
gratitude." * The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It
was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain
without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and
the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was
not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs
strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who
looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the
victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an
ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is
reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten
thousand infidels perished." [TG79] * Christian chronicler
Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all
of Palestine the air was polluted by the stench of
decomposition". One million victims of the first crusade alone.
[WW41] * Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens
slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45] *
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of
victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian.
[WW141-148] * Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall
of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and
Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]
Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian)
chroniclers.
Heretics and Atheists
* Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish
Priscillianus and six followers, were beheaded for heresy in
Trier/Germany [DO26] * Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian
sect decent enough to practice birth control (and thus not as
irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated in huge
campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444
C.E. Numerous thousands of victims. [NC] * Albigensians: the
first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29] The
Albigensians (Cathars) viewed themselves as good Christians,
but would not accept Roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and
prohibition of birth control. [NC] Begin of violence: on
command of pope Innocent III (the greatest single mass murderer
prior to the Nazi era) in 1209. Beziérs (today France)
7/22/1209 destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered.
Number of victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over
their heretic neighbors and friends) estimated between
20,000-70,000. [WW179-181] * Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands
slain. Other cities followed. [WW181] * Subsequent 20 years of
war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of
the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated.
[WW183] * After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was
founded 1232 to search and destroy surviving/hiding heretics.
Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324. [WW183] * Estimated one
million victims (Cathar heresy alone), [WW183] * Other
heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and
many others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some
Waldensians live today, yet they had to endure 600 years of
persecution) I estimate at least hundred thousand victims
(including the Spanish inquisition but excluding victims in the
New World). * Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada, a former Dominican
friar, allegedly was responsible for 10,220 burnings. [DO28] *
John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was
burned at the stake in 1415. [LI475-522] * Michael Sattler,
leader of a baptist community, was burned at the stake in
Rottenburg, Germany, May 20, 1527. Several days later his wife
and other follwers were also executed. [KM] * University
professor B.Hubmaier burned at the stake 1538 in Vienna. [DO59]
* Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been
incarcerated for seven years, was burned at the stake for
heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on 2/17/1600. * Thomas
Aikenhead, a twenty-year-old scottish student of Edinburgh
University, was hanged for atheism and blasphemy.
Witches
* From the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than
several thousand. * In the era of witch hunting (1484-1750)
according to modern scholars several hundred thousand (about
80% female) burned at the stake or hanged. [WV]
Religious Wars
* 15th century: Crusades against Hussites, thousands slain.
[DO30] * 1538 pope Paul III declared Crusade against apostate
England and all English as slaves of Church (fortunately had
not power to go into action). [DO31] * 1568 Spanish Inquisition
Tribunal ordered extermination of 3 million rebels in (then
Spanish) Netherlands. [DO31] Between 5000 and 6000 Protestants
were drowned by Spanish Catholic Troops, "a disaster the
burghers of Emden first realized when several thousand
broad-brimmed Dutch hats floated by." [SH216] * 1572 In France
about 20,000 Huguenots were killed on command of pope Pius V.
Until 17th century 200,000 flee. [DO31] * 17th century:
Catholics slay Gaspard de Coligny, a Protestant leader. After
murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, "cutting
off his head, his hands, and his genitals... and then dumped
him into the river [...but] then, deciding that it was not
worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out again
[... and] dragged what was left ... to the gallows of
Montfaulcon, 'to be meat and carrion for maggots and crows'."
[SH191] * 17th century: Catholics sack the city of
Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000 Protestants were slain. "In a
single church fifty women were found beheaded," reported poet
Friedrich Schiller, "and infants still sucking the breasts of
their lifeless mothers." [SH191] * 17th century 30 years' war
(Catholic vs. Protestant): at least 40% of population
decimated, mostly in Germany. [DO31-32]
Jews
* Already in the 4th and 5th centuries synagogues were burned
by Christians. Number of Jews slain unknown. * In the middle of
the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command
of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. The first
synagogue known to have been burned down was near the river
Euphrat, on command of the bishop of Kallinikon in the year
388. [DA450] * 694 17. Council of Toledo: Jews were enslaved,
their property confiscated, and their children forcibly
baptized. [DA454] * 1010 The Bishop of Limoges (France) had the
cities' Jews, who would not convert to Christianity, expelled
or killed. [DA453] * 1096 First Crusade: Thousands of Jews
slaughtered, maybe 12.000 total. Places: Worms 5/18/1096, Mainz
5/27/1096 (1100 persons), Cologne, Neuss, Altenahr,
Wevelinghoven, Xanten, Moers, Dortmund, Kerpen, Trier, Metz,
Regensburg, Prag and others (All locations Germany except
Metz/France, Prag/Czech) [EJ] * 1147 Second Crusade: Several
hundred Jews were slain in Ham, Sully, Carentan, and Rameru
(all locations in France). [WW57] * 1189/90 Third Crusade:
English Jewish communities sacked. [DO40] * 1235,
Fulda/Germany: 34 Jewish men and women slain. [DO41] * 1257,
1267: Jewish communities of London, Canterbury, Northampton,
Lincoln, Cambridge, and others exterminated. [DO41] * 1290
Bohemia (Poland) allegedly 10,000 Jews killed. [DO41] * 1337
Starting in Deggendorf/Germany a Jew-killing craze reaches 51
towns in Bavaria, Austria, Poland. [DO41] * 1348 All Jews of
Basel/Switzerland and Strasbourg/France (two thousand) burned.
[DO41] * 1349 In more than 350 towns in Germany all Jews
murdered, mostly burned alive (in this one year more Jews were
killed than Christians in 200 years of ancient Roman
persecution of Christians). [DO42] * 1389 In Prag 3,000 Jews
were slaughtered. [DO42] * 1391 Seville's Jews killed
(Archbishop Martinez leading). 4,000 were slain, 25,000 sold as
slaves. [DA454] Their identification was made easy by the
brightly colored "badges of shame" that all Jews above the age
of ten had been forced to wear. * 1492 In the year Columbus set
sail to conquer a New World, more than 150,000 Jews were
expelled from Spain, many died on their way: 6/30/1492.
[MM470-476] * 1648 Chmielnitzki massacres: In Poland about
200,000 Jews were slain. [DO43]
Native Peoples
* Beginning with Columbus (a former slave trader and would-be
Holy Crusader) the conquest of the New World began, as usual
understood as a means to propagate Christianity. * Within hours
of landfall on the first inhabited island he encountered in the
Caribbean, Columbus seized and carried off six native people
who, he said, "ought to be good servants ... [and] would easily
be made Christians, because it seemed to me that they belonged
to no religion." [SH200] While Columbus described the Indians
as "idolators" and "slaves, as many as [the Crown] shall
order," his pal Michele de Cuneo, Italian nobleman, referred to
the natives as "beasts" because "they eat when they are
hungry," and made love "openly whenever they feel like it."
[SH204-205] * On every island he set foot on, Columbus planted
a cross, "making the declarations that are required" - the
requerimiento - to claim the ownership for his Catholic patrons
in Spain. And "nobody objected." If the Indians refused or
delayed their acceptance (or understanding), the requerimiento
continued:
