TROUBLING QUOTES FROM THE BIBLE
It is very important to understand that Christian totalitarianism did not arise randomly or spontaneously. The campaign for absolute total and complete power was based on very specific verses from the Bible. It was a system of persecution that created a large body of Church law (Canon Law) and secular laws, as well as highly sophisticated systems of intellectual thought, such as St. Augustine's complex system of philosophy. After the Christian Church was given an absolute monopoly on religion in Rome in 395, a reign of religious terror was unleashed on the world like nothing ever seen before in history.
