[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9391151, member: 6801228"] Need to get some facts straight. I never said the Aztecs cannibalized anyone. Many cannibalistic practices were done to honor great warriors by devouring a part of them, so their fighting spirit could reside within the person and empower them to be an even greater warrior. Very very rarely was someone ever killed for the purpose of being eaten. As for the Witch Trials, you have some misconceptions. The Catholic Church denounced the witch trials continuously as being heretical. Because according to the church, there was no possible way the supernatural could exist. The man who spread the idea of Witches being a threat to good christian men was a priest who was rejected by a woman he was stalking, who then wrote one of the most blatantly misogynistic smear pieces in human history. He was rebuked for his actions, but for some reason a lot of people really liked his ideas of finding people to hunt down, condemn and [S]take wealth and land[/S].. oh I mean, to protect the faith that was definitely under attack. I'm not saying any of these actions were outright good, but comparing how Catholics ignored catholic doctrine out of fear and hatred to people who earnestly believed they were doing good... doesn't seem like an equal comparison.
