‘God’s Jury’ is an interesting and frightening book about the Holy Church’s Inquisition, that went on for centuries and cemented the Catholic Church, the world’s largest, wealthiest business, as the absolute power in Europe and beyond.
(Again, nothing against spirituality, BUT, a ‘literal’ Bible, priests using the superstitions of the ‘no science’ era to scare people with the ‘Eternal Lake of Fire’, etc, to scare people into submission SUCKS, and is still happening today, with the ‘no science Pubs, who think being born gay, evolution etc, is ‘from the devil’.)
Give me a break. Millions of people are sentenced to hell, from birth? BUT, that’s Dotard’s base, and they ain’t known for their smarts.....
As per ‘God’s Jury’:
Some claim ‘divine power’ for the ‘takeover’ by the Christian religion, while others cite the horrors and absolute control of the all powerful church and the Inquisition, that tortured, killed and took the property of all those that they labeled ‘heretics’, another word for those that stood up to the power that condoned slavery, torture, killing and property confiscation in the name of ‘God’.
And, BTW, greedy, cruel, lustful men got the riches and property stolen by the ‘church’, not widows and orphans.
Established by the Catholic Church, the Inquisition continued in one form or another for almost seven hundred years. Though associated with the persecution of heretics and Jews—and with burning at the stake—its targets were more numerous, its techniques were more cruel and ambitious, and its effect on history has been greater than many understand.
God’s Jury is a reminder, and we need to be constantly reminded, that the most dangerous people in the world are the righteous, and when they wield real power, look out.
Hmmm, I wonder WHY I’m reminded of the Trumpies, who swallow the crap from FOX, and follow their ‘righteous’ preachers in their quest to enforce their beliefs on the rest of us, claiming ‘God’s Will’ when they are are clueless in SO many areas.
Perfect fodder for the Repub party that realized their vale (they VOTE) as Karl Rove and Roger Ailes herd them to the voting booth while laughing at them behind their backs. (Read any history of Rove and Ailes).
Anyone who’d believe in Noah’s Ark and the Garfden of Eden is the perfect candidate for Bullshit Mountain crap as they go about God’s business, like the Inquisition, that just happened to become the dominant religion in Europe (where it is dying, and nearly dead, today) but fuels the base of the Pub Party in the low IQ/low income Southern Bible Belt.
Few people know the long reaching consequences of the Inquisition, where you acquiesced to the church or died a slow, agonizing death before they took your property. And it went on for Centuries, in a time known as the Dark Ages, before the Renaissance, when logic and reason rose against the absolute owner of the ‘Holy’ church.
Hopefully that enlightened thinking reaches the Repub Base sometime in our lifetimes, but I doubt it........
