It is estimated that some 9 million people in Europe alone were murdered by christians (made human sacrifices of to a christian god) to appease their beliefs in their christian god. This of course doesn't even begin to count the numbers murdered in North and South America too, in order to convert them to the "love" of a christian god. There are approximately 300 Native North American Nations that have disappeared altogether. All gone but an oral history of their existence before the christian infection invaded and infested their continent.

And currently at least 25% of the Catholic clergy are involved, directly or indirectly in child abuse. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |
