Have You Ever Noticed?

Atheists, those quirky little devils that they are will say things like, “Christianity has killed more people than any other group of people on earth.” Or they'll say, “Religion is the cause of all wars.” Or, “More people have died defending their deity than for any other reason.”

Have you ever noticed that?

They just say this stuff. No citations. No proof. It's like this feeling just comes over them to spew out lies about Christianity. Why, I've had atheists confront me, just like we were in a back ally and they whip out a “fact” like it's a gun and say, “Don't you remember the Inquisition?”

Well, not personally. No. I have read about it though, which is a darn sight better than most atheists, who use the Inquisition to keep from meditating on what Jesus' teaching is saying to them.

And they speak of the Inquisition like the loss of life was worse than World War Two.

Tell me:

. Do you know how many people were killed by those representing the Church during the Inquisition?

. Do you know how long the Inquisition lasted?

No? Then let me inform you.

The Inquisition lasted roughly 400 years. Four Hundred Years. Oh my goodness – the humanity. The slaughter. The loss of innocent life! Millions upon millions of people. That's what you're thinking – right?

Actually no. It wasn't millions.

In fact during the 400 years of the Inquisition, 2,000 people were killed. That's about 5 people per year.

Of course that's 5 more than should have been killed but still, in the scheme of things, it's hardly a number that could be used to reject what Jesus is saying to you about your eternity.

Oh but the Salem Witch Hunts! How can you, Christian, ignore the Salem Witch Hunts? Why the slaughter of innocents had blood running in the streets almost knee deep. The horror still sends ripples of terror from those thousands of families who lost loved ones.

Thousands?

Mmm, not quite.

Try 19.

Yes, yes, it was 19 more than should have been killed but still, in the scheme of things, it's hardly a number that could or should be used to reject what Jesus is trying to say to you about your eternity.

So why do they do it? These atheists that say they have good reason to reject their Lord and Saviour because of Christian savagery ?

They don't have any evidence that demands a conclusion of God does not exist.

Have you noticed?

Not a shred. Other than if you believe that being able to explain lightening means a Creator doesn't exist. And have you noticed that they run about wailing about how religion must be curtailed because of the violence it perpetrates?

Religion? You mean:

Buddhists? You want to get rid of Buddhism?

No?

But you said, “Religion.” So you mean:

Hindus? You want to make laws banning Hinduism?

No? But you said, “Religion is what's ruining the world.” You mean:

Druids? You must mean those deadly Druids.

No?

Hmm, what then.

Have you noticed how atheists completely ignore the scores killed every year by purist Muslims (we mustn't trigger Islamophobia) and instead turn their fury on Christianity. THAT is what atheists must do away with. As long as Christianity is around, these dear frightened boys and girls in the atheist community simply cannot rest because, well, Christianity is responsible for all the carnage down through history.
