The Love of Jesus

We forget that in the Middle Ages, you would be burned alive for just saying you did not believe in the God or the Bible. While you were screaming in mortal agony and enduring unbelievable pain, your neighbors were enjoying the show and dividing up your property. Not much has really changed in a thousand years. Apparently, the love of Jesus dictates that infidels be tortured to death and publicly displayed in their humiliation.

If you read eyewitness descriptions of the burning of witches, or infidels by the Christian Church, you will see that it was usually a big festival like a public hanging. I tend to think the people were more indifferent to the personality of the victim, but they did enjoy witnessing the torment of the death struggle or they would not be there. Most people don't care about anyone but themselves and any socially conscious behavior is usually just for show. There are a few empathetic or philosophical exceptions, but not many. Humanity is mostly depraved and the behavior of the Christian Church is a good example.
