Q about arguments for God's existence.

[Jenny A]

Nor are China, North Korea, or Cambodia behaving nearly as badly and Catholics did during the crusades or the inquisition, or either the Catholics or the Protestants did during and after the reformation.

Please give me a break! What atrocities did the crusaders commit that were worse than what has gone in these nations? You left out the USSR, by the way.

The inquisition was part of a totalitarian regime in Spain and it lead unspeakable torture followed by burning people to death whether they'd confessed or not. Further, torture could only be abated by naming more heretics. And it was done in the name of Christianity for the purpose of furthering Christianity.

Never have atheists burned each other for sectarian differences or committed atrocities in the name of atheism.

I repeat, how are you being persecuted? That is the claim that began this spat of regime naming.
