    Just imagine how much blood has been shed in the name of religion.

    And it continues even today. All religions, especially Christendom, are certainly bloodguilty and will be held accountable to God for their actions.

  3. The Inquisitions. Lots of wars. The slaughtering of peoples and cultures.
