Nov. 15 ... Christianity throughout History...

I watched the movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" last night and it got me thinking... how CRAZY different was Christianity back then!! The "real" Christians, the Catholics, were sooo convinced that God wanted them to kill the "fake" Christians (Protestants), and they really tried to!!! The entire "modern" Christian world of the time was so obsessed with being right and was so ridiculously legalistic... people getting hung and their heads chopped off just for refusing to believe in the Pope and stuff. I started thinking of the evolution of Christianity. How could something so simple as the promise of Jesus have been so corrupted? You gotta wonder what those folks were thinking... did they even READ the Bible where it says "love your enemies"? Crazy. Here we are in an age of extremism when all of us are worried about the fundamental and extremist Muslims and how they are convinced their way is the right way and that it is their divine right to kill everyone that doesn't believe the way they do..... but didn't the Christians have their go at this, too? Granted, it seems a bit more dangerous to more people this time around, but that's only because back then, nuclear weapons hadn't been invented yet. But you can bet your bottom dollar that if they had been, they would have used them to wipe out everybody who refused to kiss the Pope's ass... think Crusades... on crack.

That's all I have to say for today, lol.
