ardillacid Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Littleles, I would love to engage you on the topic of Galileo more extensively. If you are up to it, start a new thread on it. This thread is supposed to be about the Spanish Inquisition. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardillacid Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I think maybe we shall look at the Spanish Inquisition from a different angle. Do you believe that the purpose of this inquisition was evil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardillacid We've gone over Les's assertions on Gallileo ad nauseum in all the threads he started. Like this one Gallileo had nothing to do with the topic. However we discussed it into the ground. Primacy of Peter Infallibility Did Christ intend to start the Church Interpretation of Scripture I believe the Gallileo has been sufficiently covered and refuted in these threads. I know we're hitting summer repeats but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've never thought of the Spanish as all that inquisitive. I mean, what great idea have they come up with in the past couple centuries? They didn't even come up with Spanish. That was invented by a Libyan who wanted to talk to his wife about sex when his mother-in-law was in the room (she'd been widowed at an early age and was ever-present, a constant strain on the marriage until she succumbed to a deadly case of rickets.) It's worth noting that the Spanish have thirty words for love, but none for anti perspirant/deoderant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo_jesus Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 [quote name='LittleLes' date='May 8 2005, 06:11 PM'] Didn't have the technology for painless deaths that we have today? So they decided to burn them at the stake, is that it? Ever hear of beheading. That's even how they did St. Paul in. [/quote] burning at the stake was asphyxiation. If they did it properly you died before the flames ever reached you. if auto-erotic asphyxiation is any indication of the discomfort in the process (gross), surely there are worse ways to die.

KizlarAgha Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 A better rebuttal to the idea of burning is this: The Church didn't do it, the secular government did. Burning was also meant to purify the soul of the offender. Public burnings had an important effect on the cohesiveness of the community. You can't really judge medieval methods of execution based on their brutality - execution is inherently brutal. So if your problem is with capital punishment that's fine, but if your problem is the method then that's just silly. A person burned at the stake is just as dead as a person who was beheaded, shot, stabbed, or hung. And if you ask the dead person, they probably found them all to be pretty brutal.

Aloysius Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 what is more: the government had a right to do it. calling it the "secular government" given what we consider today to be a "secular government" may be somewhat of a misnomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
