Crime Rate Stays Low Despite Evolution being Taught |
One of the most pathetic and desperate lies told by creationist filth
is that Darwin is responsible for everything from communism to teen
pregnancy. But again, it's a lie.
Here we see another survey showing that crime in the US is at a 30-year
low (oddly close to being a coincident length of time with the
overturning of a law in the US which banned the teaching of
evolution!):
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/25/crime.rate.ap/index.html
It's something to keep in mind now that creation idiots have got
themselves into court again (this time in Dover, Pa. USA) over their
psychotic obsessive need to force their myths on helpless children.

My ,my,you really hate God don't you budikka?
The reason that crime is at an all time low is that we have the highest
incarceration rate in the world next to communist Red China which
incidentally is where you should move to.
It has nothing to do with creationism.
Darwinism gave us the likes of Jefferey Dahmer by his own admission.
Ted Bundy was a devout atheist.

Actually not a lot of actual torture was involved, other than being
incarcerated in terrible conditions. At least nothing like they did in
Europe (Spanish boot, thumbscrews, getting fingernails ripped out, etc.).
The only person who was honestly tortured was Giles Corey who was "pressed"
to death by applying heavy weights on a wooden board he was lying
underneath. A total of 11 people died during the Salem witch hysteria and
not all of them were women.
I'm not making light of what happened, just stating the facts.

## Thanks,... but 11 innocent people put to death in the name of god are a
lot - in my opinion. And yes, being held during these trials was torture.
What else could it be? They were beat, kicked and spit on. They were held
in abominable conditions, fed little, verbally abused - the emotional
torture must have been as bad as their actual death. I do feel you make
light of these Salem trials. Please don't come forth with how well they
were treated before being murdered because my teacher couldn't have been
wrong about everything. :-)

Church left out were. No god would be as blood-thirsty and cruel as this
Jehovah was. Try reading the OT before tapping your keyboard....

## Misguided because YOU say they were? They were going by their BIBLE, not
some book of Satan. Try actually reading your bible - start with page
1......
They have never had the crusades in Biblical days.
## So? It's the same difference when you slaughter people because they
don't believe in the same god you do, and worship as you do. It doesn't
matter what you call it. Stop making excuses for the atrocities perpetuated
by good Christians over the ages.
If I remember correctly the Christians were being fed to the lions by

read the bible from cover and cover and see what kid of man-killing god this
Jehovah was.

=======================
Need I say more? That's quite an example set by this Jehovah of
goathearders......
Numbers 31:17-18 God commands Moses to kill all the Medianite people
including children and women. He commands that the young virgins be saved
for later forced marriage to Moses' soldiers. The women had nothing to say
in the matter.
Deuteronomy 3:3-7 God ordered Moses' army to "utterly destroy" 60 cities,
killing all the women and children within!
Deuteronomy 7:12 God ordered the Israelites to kill all the people of seven
nations (genocide). He even adds, "show no mercy unto them". How does this
teach mankind compassion and turning the other cheek?
Deuteronomy 20:16 God orders that we kill everything that breathes in the
cities that he gives us for an inheritance....

Oh, come on. Many of them knew exactly what they were doing. They were
in it to spread the faith, to rape and pillage and get admission to
heaven while doing so.

There is not one thing circular about his argument. Christians,
through most of their history have persecuted and murdered each other
in the name of Jesus, and nearly all of them have persecuted and
murdered members of other religions or non-believers all in the name
of Jesus. Even today it happens. Even in the US you have
politicians, including a president, suggesting that atheists are not
really Americans. Christian intolerance is a well-established fact.

Of who? You didn't have this in school?
Certainly I heard of it.
I don't have to explain the faults of other people that were misguided back
in the dark ages.
So Christianity was bad then, but it is good now?
Were you aware that atheism has killed the equivalent or 2 world trade

That is utter nonsense. Name one atheist who committed mass murder in
the name of atheism.

Still waiting on you addressing this:
http://moses.creighton.edu/JRS/2005/2005-11.html
reports a study that finds that:
"In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator
correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult
mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the
prosperous democracies"
and
"The United States is almost always the most dysfunctional of the
developing democracies, sometimes spectacularly so, and almost always
scores poorly. The view of the U.S. as a "shining city on the hill"
to the rest of the world is falsified when it comes to basic measures
of societal health."
and
"Indeed, the data examined in this study demonstrates that only the
more secular, pro-evolution democracies have, for the first time in
history, come closest to achieving practical "cultures of life"
that feature low rates of lethal crime, juvenile-adult mortality, sex
related dysfunction, and even abortion."
QED.

Here's one:
Anne de Chantraine
And before you read this story, hold in your head that there are at
least tens of thousands of similar stories, and while some will simply
disregard the story as an appeal to pity, it seems to me that pity i
ssometimes not misplaced and that sometimes we should pay more
attention to it.
<start>
The practice of witchcraft and the hatred of its practitioners are to
be found in every age and every part of the world. But in
sixteenth-century Europe witch-hunting reached a sustained level of
ferocity without parallel. We have the Bull Summis desiserantes of
Innocent VIII followed by the Malleus maleficarum (Hammer of Witches),
written by two Dominicans.
Calvin was a witch burner.
It was under pressure from John Knox that Scotland passed its first
law making death the penalty (or witchcraft. James IV of Scotland, who
was to be James I of England, presided personally at burnings. Most of
Europe was involved in the mania; Ireland seems to have been free of
it.
Was it mania? The persecutors were convinced that Satan was in it.
Some of the witches were, too. But as the learned English Jesuit
Father Herbert Thurston said, "The vast majority of the lives
sacrificed were those of innocent victims hunted down in a blind panic
of hatred and terror."
The reader may draw their own conclusions from the story of Anne de
Chantraine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of March 1620, the sergent of the court of
Warêt-la-Chaussée arrested a girl of seventeen, Anne de Chantraine,
who had recently come to live in the village with her father and was
reputed to be a witch. She was imprisoned and soon brought before the
mayor, Thomas Douclet, and the aldermen of the district. She made no
bones about relating her deplorable life, and made the most brazen
avowals.
The daughter of a travelling merchant of Lèige, she scarcely
remembered her mother, who had died when Anne was only two years old.
Her father placed her in the orphanage of the Soeurs Noires at Lèige.
The child remained there ten years, and received an education rare for
her time and certainly above her station: reading, writing, catechism,
needlework. At twelve years old she was placed by the good sisters
with a widow of the city, Christiane de la Chéraille, a second-hand
clothier by trade. Anne mended old clothes there the whole day long.
One evening she saw her mistress rub grease on her body as far as
her girdle and disappear up the chimney. Before leaving, Christiane de
la Chéraille recommended her to do the same, which she forthwith did.
Passing up the chimney in a gust of strong wind, she found herself in
the company of her patron in a huge hall, filled with many people, in
which there was a large table covered with white bread, cakes, roast
meats, and sausages. There was much joyful feasting and banqueting.
Anne was timidly approaching the table when a young man, "with a look
as of fire," accosted her politely and asked if he could "have to do
with her." Dismayed by this audacity, Anne was much troubled, and she
uttered an ejaculatory prayer, accompanying it with the sign of the
cross. Immediately table and food, banqueting room, and revellers all
disappeared. She found herself alone in the dark, imprisoned among the
empty casks of her patron's cellar, from which she was delivered by
that same lady the following morning.
This was Anne de Chantraine's first contact with the infernal
powers. The contacts which followed were not so furtive, and the
awakening of fleshly desire was first occasioned in her through
Christiane de la Chéraille. She then gave herself to the Sabbath with
all the violence of her youth. She was present three times a week-on
Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday-and took part in all the rites: dances
dos-a-dos, copulation with a demon, adoration of the devil in the form
of a goat, etc. She received the magic powder and the power of
witchcraft.
Laurent de Chamont, brother-in-law and lover of her mistress, king of
the sorcerers in that region, very quickly noticed Anne. He was chief
of a group who knew how to take a very practical advantage of their
Satanic initiation; they entered houses by magic and stole money,
vessels, clothes, and food. It was Laurent de Chamont who cut hairs
from the sexual organs of his own daughter, Anne, and of the children
of Christiane de la Chéraille and, placing them on the palm of his
hand, blew them into keyholes; for it was thus, by the help of the
devil, that doors of houses and locks of chests were opened.
But the band of nightbirds was soon overtaken. Laurent de Chamont
and Christiane de la Chéraille were burned, and their accomplices were
dispersed. Six weeks later Anne was also arrested and, after being
tried, was sentenced to banishment. Leaving the principality of Lèige,
she came to her father, who had settled at Warêt, but not daring to
remain with him, she hired herself as a milkmaid to a farmer of
Erpent, four leagues off-a certain Laurent Streignart, a shady
character, who was himself suspected of heresy.
Such were the avowals of Anne de Chantraine, and they sufficed to
provoke prosecution. Her trial was immediately put in hand. On March
17 the mayor of Warêt demanded from the Provincial Council a procureur
for the accused, and the advocate Martin of Namur was named. But
because of contemporary troubles, the number of cases under
consideration, or the slowness of the judicial machinery, the matter
remained for six months in suspense. Anne spent the whole spring of
1620 in the prison of Warêt.
[Next] On September 13 the accused was informally examined. That same
day the tribunal decided to send one of its members to Lèige to obtain
more complete information. This step had grievous results for the
accused. Together with the report of the interrogation of Laurent de
Chamont and of Christiane de la Chéraille, the magistrate returned
with the evidence of Gaspard José, who was for a few weeks her
employer after the arrest of Christiane, and that of Jean Agnus, her
accomplice in flights about the city. All these taxed her with
evildoing, with witchcraft and witchflights.
Recalled on October 9, Anne admitted to all the horrors of the
accusation, and in particular to having given herself to an unknown
man dressed in black, with cloven feet, who appeared to her while she
was blaspheming because the heat of the day had dispersed her herd. As
a result, she avowed, the cows reassembled of their own accord.
On the fourteenth of the same month two women of the village, and one
from Erpent, came forward as witnesses against her. The first said she
knew the accused had the reputation of being a witch, and one day when
she felt ill, she was convinced she had been bewitched by Anne.
Accordingly she complained to the accused, and Anne prepared some
pancakes for her. When she had eaten the first, she began to vomit and
immediately felt better. The second witness was a friend of the
accused and had received certain confidences from her which she made
known to the tribunal-common- places about the Sabbath and the magic
powders. She could give only one definite fact: one of her children
had been poisoned and cured by Anne on the same day. The third witness
declared on oath that the prisoner had cured two bewitched children by
taking away a spell, but that she had also procured the death of a
young girl "who lived two leagues south of Warêt."
The accusations having been established, the clerk of the court of
Warêt gave her in charge at Namur, where, a few weeks later, the
Provincial Council gave an authorisation for torture "in order to
learn more of the misdemeanours of the accused and of her
accomplices."
Another questioning took place on February 15, 1621, in the course
of which Anne revealed to the judges how Christiane de la Chéraille
had taught her to cure the bewitched: "When a poisoned person was
brought to her to be cure, she said: 'Devil, do you wish me to remove
the poison from this person in whom you have placed it?' - and having
said this, she seized him under the arms, turned him one way and then
the other, saying the same words and touching the hand of the poisoned
person, declaring that he was cured and ending with further curious
ritual." She admitted to having received four sous for the cure of a
girl.
On April 15 Léonard Balzat returned to Warêt. It was decided that the
accused should be submitted to the torture of cold and hot water, and
two days later the torture was repeated. This time the torturer poured
water which was almost boiling through a funnel placed in her throat,
already in a terrible condition. In spite of these two sessions, the
judges failed to gain their ends, for Anne de Chantraine did not
reveal her accomplices.
Two months passed. On June 14 Léonard Balzat returned and submitted
her to the fearful torture reserved for great criminals and sorcerers.
She persisted in her declarations, but nothing more could be found
out.
Two days later five witnesses came from Liège to testify on her
morals. They were Conrad de Phencenal, from whom she had stolen many
tin plates; Anne de Chevron, who had lost linen and jewels; Léonard de
Vaulx and his daughter, who brought a theft of 300 florins against
her. A young merchant tailor, Wautier Betoren, declared he had been
her victim to the extent of a piece of linen, but that a friend of
Anne, a certain Perpienne, had given him twenty florins by way of
indemnity.
Since she now was established as a thief, avowed under torture as a
sorceress, her sentence from the Provincial Council can scarcely
astonish us. On July 16 Guillaume Bodart, the deputy commissioner,
brought to the mairie sentence of death against her, "for the
confessed crime of witchcraft, and for having assisted at several
larcenies by night, by means of the same witchcraft, in the houses of
citizens in the city of Liège." On July 23 the sentence was made known
to Anne, and she, overwhelmed with despair, denied all her avowals. In
this way she gained time, for only confessions freely admitted counted
in law.
The embarrassment occasioned to the judges did not last long. As soon
as they were informed, the delegates of the Provincial Council
condemned Anne de Chantraine to death anew, on July 26, and this
condemnation was immediately read to the girl. She was then asked if
all the confessions she had made were true, and she said that they
were. The clerk of the court and the jailer then retired, and a
religious came to confess her.
Why was the sentence not executed? No document justified such
shirking of duty. Had the denials in extremis of the condemned moved
the magistrates of Warêt? Were motives of law, reasons of force
majeure added to the documents we now possess? The whole matter is
wrapped in mystery. It remains true that the condemned lived on for
almost a year in the scabrous village prison. It would seem that she
was forgotten.
However, during the winter of 1621-22 the mayor made another visit to
Namur. On December 9 he received an answer that "in view of the
inquiries held by a deputed commission since the sentence pronounced
in the court of Warêt on July 21, the aldermen should see to it that
the said sentence be carried into execution according to due form and
tenor." On the following day this new sentence was read to Anne de
Chantraine. She said to her confessor, Père Monceau, who accompanied
the clerk of the court, that she was content to die for her sins, but
that she persisted in her denials.
Again the judges temporised, and months went by without a solution. In
the summer of 1622 the Council decided to re-examine the facts avowed
by the accused. Two new councillors were appointed, and in order to
facilitate the inquiry, the accused was taken to Namur, where she was
imprisoned in the Tour de Bordial, on the bank of the Sambre, at the
foot of the citadel.
Proceedings began again. Did torture again play its part, or had the
two years of hopeless imprisonment so weakened the accused that she
confessed freely; or did the judges simply ignore her denials? We do
not know, for this part of the trial is surrounded with mystery. It
would seem that the judges were particularly interested in the sanity
of the accused. At the beginning of September they asked the jailer if
he had remarked anything abnormal about Anne. On September 12 he
replied that "in daily conversations, the turnkey, his wife, and
others have not noticed that she is in any way troubled in mind or in
judgement."
On the same day the jailer, armed with scissors and razor, visited
her, cut her hair and shaved every part of her body. He took away her
clothes, and left only a rough chemise of jute in their place.
But the councillors began to have scruples. They were not content with
the jailer's report, and they recalled him. When questioned again on
the mental state of the accused, he was less sure in his answers than
he had been. He said that "the prisoner was stupid, and did not
understand what she said, though sometimes she seemed quite right in
her mind."
[Prev] On October 17 the definitive sentence was brought in: death by
fire with preliminary strangulation. From that day Anne was kept at
Warêt-la-Chaussée, the place fixed for the execution.
During the following night Léonard Balzat and his assistant prepared
the pyre, a huge heap of a hundred fagots bought in the village
itself. In the centre, sheaves of straw were placed, and a hollow was
made in the straw large enough to contain a stool .
At dawn Anne was awakened by the jailer the clerk of the court, and a
friar minor, who announced the fatal news to her. She was led out. The
executioner was waiting with the cart, and the condemned girl climbed
into it. When they reached the end of the village where the pyre was
prepared, Anne collected all the strength that remained to her. In a
loud voice, she acknowledged her sins, denied that she was a witch,
and admitted to no accomplice. Léonard Balzat helped her to climb the
pyre, seated her on the stool among the straw and abruptly strangled
her. His assistant kindled the straw and the fagots. Acrid smoke
quickly enveloped her, and the crackling of the flames was like a
fearful whisper through the entire village. The pyre burned for two
days. At dawn on the third day the ashes were dispersed to the four
winds.
The memory of a young, beautiful, and celebrated witch was for many
years to haunt the minds of the villagers. Her story was told and
retold by the light of a winter's fire. No one, however, knew her
name, and no folklorist recounted her trial. Only F. Chavee, in his
"Notice sur le village de Leuze" (Annales de la Société archéolique,
21 [1895], 481), speaks of "a field situated between Leuze and
Warêt-la-Chaussée, made famous by a Liège witch and poisoner whom the
justices of the high court of Warêt condemned to death and executed in
the year 1623 [sic]."

Frank Donovan says: "Several modern writers claim that 9,000,000
people met their deaths during the witchcraft persecution but offer no
valid statistical records to support this estimate. On the other end
of the scale is the 'educated guess' of R.H.Robbins and others that
the total may have been about 200,000. Contemporary records are spotty
and incomplete. Many deaths were probably never recorded and other
archives have been lost thru time."
