Insanity and Torture

At one time the (idiot) Church taught that insane people were insane because they were inhabited by demons. It was further thought that demons did not like pain and therefore, the way to cure the insanity was to torture the insane person until the demons left. Those who believe in god are just as capable of believing in demons. It's all rubbish, and those who cherish the church have some very large blind spots!

That's why Islam is good. We were making scientific advancements and building magnificent structures while Christians were still torturing and killing people who suggested that the Earth revolved around the Sun.

Reading this post helps explain your profile too.

I think that the middle east is the main problem talk about torturing people! I disagree with you about "while Christians were still torturing and killing people" as a whole is truly over-doing it!
