Actually, Christianity did not spawn the Spanish Inquisition. As others have said elsewhere, a lot of the persons who post comments here need more education. The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the slaughterous Crusades in the Middle East, the Spanish Inquisition, rabid anti-Semitism, extortion, bribery, thefts, murder, and religious wars. The RCC is ipso facto not Christian. Jesus never killed anyone, neither did he advocate killing anyone, nor did he sanction killing anyone. He possessed the power to annihilate mankind, but he laid down his life rather than kill and commanded his disciples to follow his example ("Yet will I show you a more excellent way."), which they did and have always done. All of the apostles (except Judas Iscariot) and virtually all of the early Christians (who were predominantly Jews) were martyred without offering any resistance. "They loved not their lives unto death." Most modern churches are just corporations doing business for profit as churches. They have nothing to do with Christianity, except that, like the Catholic and Protestant churches, they claim to be Christian. That's where the confusion lies. It should be obvious to any cognitive adult that the televangelists are all con artists. What is less obvious and difficult for most persons to discern is that all mainstream churches are worthless shams. If it has a building and a sign out front, it's a phony.
