Whilst enjoying 'The musketeers' ( OK I know it's mostly nonsense) last night the thought that 'evil' was perfected and defined by the catholic church crept into my mind. Hippocritically,having perfected it the church then set about exploiting it shamelessly and carried out countless acts of evil to further their own ends. Anybody who disagreed with them was pronounced evil and usually executed (after torture). This what the RC church is founded on, has it learned anything or changed much?
Khandro, The ‘fact’ is Europe was awash with the church – the church influenced everything. You offer the daftest arguments. First you talk about non-existent ‘facts’, now you’re ‘sure’ that the removal of the church would have been replaced by something worse implying that whatever the church did or condoned is acceptable because if the church hadn’t done it some other body would have. Where on earth do you get it from?
