Before you go, think about this…
Witches were burned to death to make sure that no blood was shed and the sentiment of the Council of Tours (1163 AD), considered canon law, was literally upheld—“The Church abhors bloodshed”! There is no clearer indication of the way Christians have blatantly ignored the will of their own God, deliberately causing unimaginable suffering, while continuing to think they were saved.
Give or take a few, it’s been 23777 months since the first coming of Christ ended. The Rapture can’t be long now… Can it?

Carl Sagan explains in Demon Haunted World that after the victory of Christianity and the fall of Rome:
While medicine in the Islamic world flourished, what followed in Europe was truly a dark age. Much knowledge of anatomy and surgery was lost. Reliance on prayer and miraculous healing abounded. Secular physicians became extinct. Chants, potions, horoscopes and amulets were widely used. Dissections of cadavers were restricted or outlawed, so those who practised medicine were prevented from acquiring first hand knowledge of the human body. Medical research came to a standstill.
