No matter how many times you ask that it won't ever change what I actually posted.
Archaeology is just a tad bit more precise today than it was in '39, I'm sorry that your fairy tale turned out to be a fairy tale.
It's embarrassing when people bring up your cults dirty laundry (and I say that as a human being embarrassed of another human being), so I completely understand if you aren't willing to face Calvin's words on the matter. Calvin of course forwarded his private correspondence with Servitus to the "authorities" (both men wrote to each other in an effort to convince the other of their theology) which secured his execution. Calvin was not in favor of burning btw, he suggested beheading.
Servitus was the only person put to death for heresy in Geneva during Calvin's lifetime, making him one of the most ardent supporters (and indeed co-conspirators) of a very unique act of murderous bigotry. Both men were in Geneva seeking religious asylum from the Catholic Church, which makes it all the more upsetting that in this case Calvin maintained a united front with the very same. In all likelihood (and this was the contention of the time) it was a political move, his condemnation being integral to the removal of an ideological adversary.
In 1903 a plaque was placed in his honor, repudiating Calvin's mistake (by Calvinists). So I guess that only took about 450 years. Here's to hoping the rest of his legacy ends up on a public apology commemorated by a plaque somewhere.
You can play revisionist all you like, but them's the facts, jack. I already know that you're a bigot, I was asking you if it extended to murder (as it did for Calvin)? You owe Shell an apology btw. Pointlessly comparing her morality to Jeffrey Dahmer's when in fact, of the two of you, you're the one who bases your entire system of belief on the ramblings of a waste of human space.
