You don’t care that so-called “science” was used to justify bigotry? Just what the hell is your point — or are you just throwing sand?

So has God and Christ been used to justify bigotry

“So has God and Christ been used to justify bigotry”

Not at anywhere the level that Darwinism has been used. I’m not a historian, but I’ve read that the number of people killed during the Inquisition per *decade* was something like the number of people killed by Nazis and Communists per *week*.

OK, that’s a vague recollection, but you get the point. We know, for example, that communists murdered something like 100,000,000 of their own countrymen during the past century. That’s why I get very annoyed when Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and other try to pin genocide and mass murder on religion.

No, God and Christ have been misused to justify bigotry.

The Nazis used Darwinian evolution to justify bigotry.
