Yes it is a huge number. I was like you when I first read it. You might check out Thomsett, Green, Dallinger. Now, please do not write to me again. It will not be productive for you or me or any freezer who choses to read our conversation.
Sorry, but your extreme exaggeration needs to be addressed.
Your conflation of historical repressions and killings with absurd numbers is very troubling.
It is like the liberal claims of how many were enslaved and thrown overboard.
Ludicrous numbers pulled out of a hat.
Truth is of the essence and bearing false witness does not serve the cause iof Christ.
