What is your point, anyway, Freddy?

Protestants and heretics were victims of the Inquisition earlier and in even greater numbers than witches. Yet you blame all Christianity for the Inquisition, when in fact many Christians were victims of it, and when the entire Eastern church had nothing at all to do with it. You ignore the information on the Canon Episcopi, when it shows that the Inquisitors had to ignore or reverse the original teaching of the Roman church in order to carry out their plans. I would think that a seeker of truth would find that reversal most interesting. Moreover, since the Catholics haven't been roasting anyone in recent memory, it's not clear why the Inquisition is of anything more than historical interest. My point? My point is that you are selecting only what is useful to enable you to weave a tale of anger and hate, and all the rest falls to the cutting room floor. I guess I wonder why someone who claims to be open minded isn't worried about cultivating bigotry.
