  • Catholics have done all sorts of crimes in the past. In the 17th Century saw the infamous the deadliest religious war in history, 30 years war, an intersect war between Catholics and Protestants that killed nearly 15 million people an amount similar to WW1 which is astonishing given the then lower population and less sophisticated weapons. The Catholics used to prosecute innocent people. They imprisoned Galileo just for saying the Earth rotated around the sun (they used to think the illogical that the sun and other planetes rotated around the earth). they burned to death countless innocent women, who they considered a bit "deviant" in the name of with burning, like they did to the celebrated female soldier Joan of arc. However after the 30 years war, papacy fell and Catholic churches started to lose power, radical Christianity begin to decline. Today Christians are less violent and more peaceful than ever before, mainly because they are mostly non religious or closet atheists, few of them hardly go to churches anymore or even read the Bible a single day of their life. Muslims on the other hand remain violent and carry out all sorts of crimes in the name of religion. Still catholic priests are fuckeed up (look up all the recent sex abuse scandals theyve been involved in), but all religions are, and a world without religion would be a better place. But i must say the only true peaceful religion in the world is Buddhism...

    • Many people believe Buddhism is the only truly peaceful religion, but to believe that, you have to ignore the recent histories of Sri Lanka, Myanmar and many other places.

      You were closer to the truth when you said all religions are fucked up.

      • I think that's just push back to the violence of Islam. Essentially societal self defense.

      • Sad to admit, but after seeing that I agree with you, the world will be more peaceful with no religion at all!
