Indeed.

And the Spanish performed the attrocities of the inquisition in the name of
"good christian people."

NO matter how you slice and dice it, totalitarian regimes
and those who would practice their particular forms of
despotism are inherently evil, no matter what mantle of
rightness and goodness they try to wear.  And they wonder
why the religious right concerns me as much as it does.  The TAliban or the
"moral majority" either one give me great
concern.
