You miss the point of the post.
The point is that millions (yes millions) of people have died due to christianity, because people refused to believe. They don't necessarily have to be atheist. They could be Jew, Muslim, agnostic whatever. Doesn't matter what label you give them. That's not the point.
The point is that christianity has oppressed others from doing what they want for hundreds of years. And you complain now that secularists simply want religion and normal every day life seperated? Fuck you.
BUT FUCK IT. You want to go there? Let's fucking go there.
Here's a list of just a few examples of what happens in the name of christianity:
1. In 356 Pagan practices became punishable by death under christian law. Between 315 and the 6th century thousands of pagans were slaughtered under the christian expansion of Europe.
2. Peasants of Steding (5,000 to 11,000) men, women and children were murdered because they could not afford the high taxes of their christian overlords.
3. Tens of thousands of Gaelic culled by Christian English for not having knowledge of god. 16th and 17th century.
4. Crusades. Some estimates range into 9 million deaths caused by christianity alone. Do your own research for this one, I don't think you can deny in any sense the atrocities caused by the crusades.
5. Massacre of Bezirs 1209. All inhabitants of the town slaughtered by order of Pope Innocent III. Estimated death toll, 20,000 - 70,000.
6. Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada. Estimated he burned 10,220 for heresy against christianity.
7. Burning of witches. In the witch hunting era (1484 - 1750) several hundred thousands people are burnt at the stake or hung.
8. Spanish inquisition 1568. Ordered extermination of 3 million 'rebels'.
9. Pope Pius V ordered the murder of 20,000 Huguenots and causes over 200,000 to flee their homes. 1572.
10. Slayings of the Jews. 4th and 5th centuries untold amounts of synagogues burned down by christians.
Council of Toledo 694. Jews enslaved, property seized by christians, children FORCIBLY baptized.
Right the way through the 11th century and the 17th century all manner of massacres and injustices were caused by christians unto the jews. Look them up.
11. Holocaust. Don't need to go into this one do I? Or do I have to remind you it wasn't just Jews who were slaughtered? 6 million deaths estimated.
12. Conquest of the New World. Countless atrocities caused to the natives of America under the banner of Christian expansion.
Etc fucking etc.
I got my info here: http://www.truthbeknown.com/victims.htm
Fully referenced. I just picked out the few which I could put easily into bullet point format so your puny fucking brain could perhaps better comprehend.
Now tell me that christianity has not opressed and burned and killed and all those other fucking things that picture mentioned.
