So when the Catholic church forcibly converted Jews, you must consider that 'objectively evil' also. That's far worse than a rape, which is over in a few minutes. Being forcibly converted effects your life forever. "No barbarity by the Church seemed too cruel to be used as a means of enforcing the conversion of the Jews." This evil perpetrated by the Church went on for hundreds and hundreds of years. The Church itself was evil personified to untold thousands and thousands of Jews. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Not much different than today with the left supporting any means required to convert the right to their way of thinking. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Edit: your comments about rape are ignorant and despicable. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

And the Church committed this evil for hundreds of years. It's so well documented it's undeniable. In fact there is always modern Jews in EU suing the Vatican to get their property back from when it was stolen from them by the Church during the Inquisition.
What comments about rape. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There is no God to sin against, so there is no sin. But there is what could be perceived as evil actions as they take away a person's human rights. The church was guilty of this for hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of years. They thought they were working in God's best interest. What they were really doing is destroying people's lives. Even mother Teresa converted people in her clinics by tricking them into thinking she was doing something else. This seems to be the Catholic modus operandi. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Human rights evolved, just like everything else evolves. There are books written on the history of Human Rights. They are The logical outcome of education. It's basically you leave me alone to have my own opinion and lead my own life within the law, and I'll do the same for you. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
