@Joelcool7:
Umm yah Sapphi in which way is torturing anyone moral?
I don't know, ask christians. Actually, I do know, the ideea is rooted in christian ideology.
Well it wasn't Christian Europe either sure the population largely considered themselves Christian.
The main problem with this argument is that the Church actually ran Europe.
But the Government was not Christian anymore then the US Government is today.
Ok, this just shows you have no ideea what you're talking about.
The same way Communist Governments use Atheism to manipulate theirs.
How can yoiu use atheism to manipulate people? If you wanna know why communists disliked religion, read some Marx.
They used Christianity to mobalize their people to defend Europe from the Muslim armies that were advancing.
The Crusades were not reactive. And the Crusaders looted Constantinopole.
The torture you mention is totally immoral in every sense of the word both Biblical and otherwise.
It's really not immoral, from the POV of certain christian 'thinkers'.
The slaughtering of Protestants and everyone who disagreed with you also was immoral.
There goes your 'christianity unites people' argument.
The whole legal system is built upon the New Testiment and Old Testiment.
I think you should read up on this matter more.
What about Human Rights if you take religion out of the picture they wouldn't exist. In fact murder would have no actual basis for being legal I mean obviously the stronger human killed the weaker human to survive. If all humans are animals as is a given if all religion were thrown out of law then theft and murder and such would be perfectly justifiable.
And again, you don't know what you're talking about.
