Nothing new here!

Even Christians had been doing unkind things to other Christians in centuries past. Read about the Inquisition and you will see many things you have not seen before.

Did you know that some Christians in Holland about three hundred years ago (if I'm not mistaken) forced a certain group of Christians to build their church with its entrance located in the "night-soil" (shit) lane? (The night-soil lane was the narrow lane located between the the rears of two adjacent rows of houses, back to back).

I don't know whether they were just being mean forcing other Christians to worship in a stinky atmosphere, or they were trying to boost the sale of incense which would certainly be burned in copious amounts to sort of neutralize the foul smell entering from the night-soil lane.
