Are Christians sawing peoples heads off ?
How many people have Christians killed in absolutely horrific ways?
The Inquisition
There is no precise date for the beginning of the Inquisition, most sources agree it manifested during the first 6 years of the reign of the catholic pope, Gregory IX, between 1227 and 1233. Pope Gregory IX who ruled from 1227-1241 is often referred to as the "Father of the Inquisition."
The Inquisition was a campaign of torture, mutilation, mass murder and destruction of human life perpetrated by xtians. The church increased in power until it had total control over human life, both secular and religious.
The Vatican wasn't satisfied with the progress made by regional leaders in rooting out heresy. Pope Innocent III commissioned his own inquisitors who answered directly to him. Their authority was made official in the papal bull of March 25th, 1199.7Innocent declared "anyone who attempted to construe a personal view of god which conflicted with the church dogma must be burned without pity."
In 1254, to ease the job of the inquisitors, Pope Innocent IV decreed that accusers could remain anonymous, preventing the victims from confronting them and defending themselves. Many churches had a chest where informants could slip written accusations against their neighbors. Three years later, he authorized and officially condoned torture as a method of extracting confessions of heresy.
The Judas Cradle
The Rack
The Pear of Anguish
Shall I go on?
No one expected the Spanish Inquisition.
BTW, you had to go back 800 years to find anything like that in the Christian Church, and for the record: They were wrong. How far back to find such things in the Islamic faith? Remember 9/11?

Huh just go back to when the church in the USA supported slavery.
Or the Salem witch trials, etc.

And you are still going back 150 years and more. Meanwhile, the believers in Islam are still stoning women who've been raped.
BTW, there is nothing in the Bible against slavery. Only about how you are suppose to treat your slaves. Of course when that was written, it wasn't about blacks...it was about whites that had been invaded by the Romans.

Ohh not just about conquered people and such slaves were also Jewish people who had less than others.
It is in the bible.
Just another example of how screwed up religion is.
We do not need to stone people we have the electric chair, lethal injection and bombs,guns,etc.
How many did we kill in the latest Iraq war?
Dead is dead.
No one expected the Spanish Inquisition.

It is til the resurrection at least.

Actually, the Spanish Inquisition wasn't that bad. I mean yeah, when we compare it to our standards it was pretty screwed up. But if you look at the standards of the day, the inquisition courts were much more humane. It was only when the States got involved that it got deadly.
Not to mention much of our knowledge of the inquisition comes from our Anglo Saxon background and has been highly influenced by Anti Catholic Protestant Propaganda. Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell what accurately occured and what was just a propaganda tract.

did not realize there was a statute of limitation on responsibility for murder? How many years before the muslims are absolved?
Are Christians sawing peoples heads off ?
Irrelevant point. Christians can be not sawing people's heads off and still not be keeping the commandments.

How about until none of those alive, or their parents or grandparents or great grandparents participated in the atrocities?
which may well never happen. Or at least as history has proven time and again not in our generation.
They won't even notice he's here.
What an arrogant view. Christianity is the only religion on earth?
To me it is the only true religion. Why would you have a religion if you don't believe it's the only true religion?
If that's arrogance, than I'm arrogant.

Are you saying christians stop being christians when they quit following the commandments? Then they can go back to being christians when they say they are sorry to God? (repeat the process) How convientient, with these standards the Christians are unblemished and have never done any wrong.

it isn't arrogant to believe what you believe. it IS arrogant not to understand that everyone else, no matter what their beliefs, feels the same way.
What will God do if he finds out that Atheists are right?

seriously? The inquisition wasn't that bad? the degredation of everyone who wasn't christian, to the point of death at it's worst. Lasted for up to eight hundred years according to some jewish scholars. This wasn't all that bad??

Not everyone does feel the same way. So why would we presume that?
