Yeah, its statistics at that point. One person or a dozen people's deaths matter but when its happened dozens upon hundreds of times, we stop caring except to give superficial "oh thats bad :("

Still don't know why people want to ban freedom of religion. It's like saying that all christians are bad because a couple of hundred years ago. Empires force christianity as an excuse to kill aswell and even most christians are against that, aswell as muslims right now. and the main reason why they want to ban muslims it's because of Isis is a group of radical muslims which is so pathetic.
This is going to be possibly my last post do to a fact that it's causing drama.
but jesus peacefully spread christianity and didn't con then force others into joining it like the prophet mohammad then had that religion spread imprialistically into europe (which totally makes islam peaceful)

religion stems from an evolutionarily inferior human brain which could not fully comprehend the world around it, so decided to rationalize with magic, as we had a large neocortex, allowing civilized phenomena, but little critical thinking skills.
i think the great awakenings which lead people to become independant from the church spurred scientific growth as that 'fog' was lifted, and humanity began asking questions and being allowed to get answers.
the point being that while religion has unarguably been a godsend up to even the 1700s, it is now irrelevant and mostly superficial, ignorant, or a quirk.
Here JohnLugo points that the killings done in the name of Christianity, by the inquisition, were made 600 years ago.
And that the inquisition was the catholic mafia, which it really wasn't. This isn't even a matter of opinion or anything, it's just factual.
The inquisition was a main branch of the Catholic Church that still exists to this day (under a different name), and so does the list of banned books etc (they don't kill or torture people anymore tho)
The problem starts here.
No, it wasn't only done by the Romans and it wasn't even the romans that operated the inquisition... you agreed with his post about 600 years ago... the Western Roman Empire died in 476. Now some math. 2016-600 = 1416
Ye dude, you're slightly off. It would be the same as saying we did the moon landing in the 14th century. Ok.
Now, the Christians fleeing the jews in the Roman empire were a thing, but that was in the first stage.
The Roman empire eventually became Christian, and no, the Jews weren't doing what the Inquisition did, simply because they didn't have the means or knowledge or tools at the time to do many of the things that were done.
Now your entire sentence implies that only the Romans killed people in the name of Christianity, but since you say 'early christians' let me inform you that the Romans were not Christians (up until 383 or somewhere near, cbf searching), they had their own mythology that drew many parallels with the Greek.
Now that I've tried to deconstruct your sentence let me try to make a quick bullet point scheme for you
Christians came up with the inquisition, not the Jews
They trialed Jews and tortured them with hopes of converting them
If the Jews converted they became known as 'New Christians'
If not they died
I don't have a clue how you brought Romans into a discussion about the Inquisition, but oh well.

You proceed to say that
Now let me break this for you

implying that the jews was the only reason hitler got power
protip: it wasn't
WW2 was going to be a thing regardless as germany became a militarized superpower by 1939 and hitler had dreams of expanding the german reich regardless of the jews
