"1492) estimated that 2000
people were
burned at the stake between 1478 and 1490. Estimates range from 30,000 to
50,000 burnt at the stake (alive or not) at the behest of the Spanish Inquisition during its 300 years of activity have previously been given and are still to be found in popular books."

i agree, i dont believe this as well. multiply those numbers by three would be much more accurate.
interesting that neither Judaism nor Jesus and the 12 (also Jewish) didnt do this. this was something new, a deviation from Jesus and the 12.
Wikipedia – how cute. You
DO understand that Wikipedia can be
edited by
anybody –
don’t you?
Now, here’s how
REAL grown-ups do
REAL research . . .
First of all –
MOST Protestants, and by process of
elimination, posters on sources like
“Wikipedia” – get their
“facts” about the
Inquisitions from
TWO major sources:
Henry C. Lea (1825–1909) and
G. G. Coulton (1858–1947).
BOTH of these men were virulent
anti-Catholics – first and
foremost.
SOME Protestant sources claim that as many as
95 MILLION people died. Of course, this is
laughable, due to the fact that if you
add this number to the number killed during the
Plague – Europe would
cease to exist.
SOME statistics show that up to
72,000 Catholics were murdered in England by
Henry VIII alone. This
doesn’t include the up to
40,000 killed by his daughter
Elizabeth I. Are these
accurate numbers?
Maybe – maybe
not.
So, the
lesson here, sparky, is that when you base your
“statistics” on
flawed sources – you get
ALL sorts of
wacky numbers.
In
other words, son – it’s time to
grow up and move
out of mommy’s basement . . .
