Christians killing Christians the bloodiest religion ever Flashcards
CARD #1: CHRISTIANITY: THE BLOODIEST RELIGION EVER
You watch an ant in a meadow, laboriously climbing up a blade of grass, higher and higher until it falls, then climbs again and again striving to reach the top. Why is the ant doing this?//Its brain has been commandeered by a tiny parasite, a lancet fluke, that needs to get itself into the stomach of a sheep or a cow in order to complete its reproductive cycle. This little brain worm is driving the ant into position to benefit its progeny, not the ant’s. These hitchhikers cause their hosts to behave in unlikely, even suicidal ways, all for the benefit of the guest, not the host. [like a dog with rabies].//Does this happen to humans? Yes indeed. We find humans devoting their entire lives to furthering the interests of an idea that has lodged in their brains. [The idea works like a parasite to the mind]
Christians and Jews do likewise, devoting their lives to spreading the Word. Making huge sacrifices and risking their lives for an idea. So do Sikhs and Hindus and Buddhists. There are many ideas to die for.
******* [MN: Instead of living and enjoying their life, they spend their lifetime, preparing for a future that does not exist!]//Back to the ant. The Lancet fluke isn’t exactly a rocket scientist. It is no more intelligent than a carrot. It does not even have a brain.
[MN: “Religion is responsible for more murders than any other psychological influence in history!” //”Roman persecutions over three centuries were only a few thousand murders. But once Christianity took the course for the next 1,500 years, Christians slaughtered Christians by the millions to defend slightly different interpretations of the religion of love and compassion.” __ Sapiens, P. 215//Christians disagreed about the nature of God’s love. Protestants believed that the divine love is so great that God was incarnated in flesh and allowed Himself to be tortured and crucified. Catholics maintained that faith was not enough. To enter heaven, believers had to participate in church rituals and do good deeds.
“These theological disputes turned so violent that during the 16th and 17th centuries, Catholics and Protestants killed each other by the hundreds of thousands. On August 23, 1572, French Catholics who stressed the importance of good deeds attacked communities of French Protestants who highlighted God’s love for humankind.** On this attack, the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, **between 5 to 10,000 Protestants were slaughtered in less than 24 hours.
When the Pope heard the news from France, he was so overcome by joy that he organized festive prayers to celebrate the occasion and commissioned Giorgio Vasari to decorate one of the Vatican’s rooms with a freso of the massacre. (the room is currently off limits to visitors.) More Christians were killed by fellow Christians in those 24 hours than by the polytheistic Roman Empire throughout its entire existence.”__Sapiens, P. 216.
[MN: Note this room is not open to tourist because Catholics want to hide this shame.]
Charlemagne 4,000 beheaded.
Pogroms against Jews . 6 Million killed during WWII.
Religion is a psychological tool to completely brain wash followers. Just like the terrorist use the same tool.
Like the sign says. “Scientist fly you to the moon. Religion flies you into skyscrapers.”
