Hence, the assertion that there were more people killed "in the name of God" than any other non-religious wars in history.
Religion is to be blamed for the massacre of millions. It is not limited to Christianity alone. It is the aggression and oppression of a weaker belief over another.
If you check history there were many people died because of non religious war. I didn't deny the fact that there were also many people died in the name of their belief but the point here is if we consult history we should have a balance approach.
That is because religion is a form of governance, bro. It brings law to the lawless and the ignorant.
I agree. Again balanse lang....
By using God's name.
Spaniards were also very effective PsyOps. The reason why the Filipinos couldn't release itself from the grasp of spanish rule was because spaniards use Filipinos against each other.
Province A wants to start an uprising. The Spanish incite Province B & C to fight on their behalf. The cycle repeats itself over and over the Philippines.
The Aztecs also had a taste of this Spanish Psychological Warfare. Instead of attacking the Aztecs directly the Spanish rallied the neighboring villages who despised the Aztec's rule. The combined might of the Spanish army and the indigenous people brought about the morbid demise of their empire.
Again your correct. Religion was not only the cause here but also caused by greed and power. Religion also gives justification to their motives.
Communism is NOT atheism. Know the difference. Communists usually believe that their leader IS God himself. That is still theism.
Hitler, also believed himself to be a God. Nazis believed he was a God. Why do you think Nazism still survives today?
did I say communism is atheism?. that is why I am careful to what I've said that says "we can correlate". What I've said is we can correlate atrocities to atheism since communism promotes state atheism. And atheism doesnt have an absolute moral guide compare to Christianity in which genocide or murder is strictly prohibited in the bible. added with the fact that morality in atheism is defined under social mores. Now the question here if we were at the time of the Nazi, how can we justify genocide? or how can we prevent it from happening the greatest crime against humanity knowing the fact that we are under the social pressure that superior race is justifiable?
At what cost? That is old news. In case you haven't read the news lately, they recently discovered that the catholic church was actually harboring some of hitler's possessions - possessions that belonged to jews who were deprived of their belongings during the Holocaust. The case is being handled and being reviewed by the war crimes tribunal.
That is very DISTURBING news indeed for me, sir.
Sir Catholic Church is different from catholic believers.
Sige mo mention anang AD HOMINEM wala lang gani ninyo bantayi ang pagka-hipokrito.
Ang hipokrito sir kanang dili balanse....Hipokrito ang tawo nga wala nakakita sa contribution sa Catholic church sa humanity especially sa art, music, science labi na dri sa Philippines. I am not a bigot nga mulaban maayo sa simbahan ug akong pagtoo bisan naay kasaypanan diha sa history. again balanse gihapon...
When you glorify the scientific discoveries made by the church you praise it while the catholic church burned scientists at the stake for outdoing the preachings of the church. Pasabta kuno ko ana?
That sounds like unprofessional behavior even during those times.
Again balanse ra man sir. Kung naay kasaypanan tan awon sad ang contribution. Kay kung ato tan awon simbahan naay dakong contribution sa development sa humanity. Sila maoy naka pa tamed sa barbarianism ug na ka hinay sa communism.
Aside the biggest misconception here is that the Catholic Church is opposed to science and rejects evolution.
In fact, may great scientific advances have come about through Catholic scholarship and education. The most recent and interesting case is that of Monsignor Georges Lemaître (pictured above, center) a Belgian priest who proposed the Big Bang theory. When he proposed his theory, Einstein rejected it, causing Monsignor Lemaître to write to him: “Your math is correct, but your physics is abominable.” Eventually Einstein came to accept the theory.
Also, unlike many of the American Protestant or evangelical religions, the Catholic Church does not reject the theory of evolution. Right from the early days of the theory, the Church remained mostly silent on the issue. The first public statements specifically regarding evolution came from Pope Pius XII who said: “The Church does not forbid that…research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter.”
In 2004, a Theological Commission overseen by Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) issued this statement: “According to the widely accepted scientific account, the universe erupted 15 billion years ago in an explosion called the ‘Big Bang’ and has been expanding and cooling ever since. [...] Converging evidence from many studies in the physical and biological sciences furnishes mounting support for some theory of evolution to account for the development and diversification of life on earth, while controversy continues over the pace and mechanisms of evolution.”
Catholic Schools all around the world (including the US) teach scientific evolution as part of their science curriculum.
