The lotharingian crusade killed everyone in fact, every person to ever exist, the last person killed in the crusade was the pope who announced victory and killed homself
Vedic "Religion" wasn't Eradicated but was Transformed into Dharma (Today's Hinduism) and then further split into Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. We all still follow majority of Vedic Rituals even Today with the Lone Exception of Animal Sacrifice but some Communities still Practice even that today but not many. Also we Hindus at least (don't know about others for a fact) still do our Wedding Ceremonies using The Vedic Process that is called "Vedic Padhat" of getting Married.
@@SlaveOfDevas Honestly I think we should bring Vedic Culture back cause our Religion is kinda on a Downfall on all fronts and is in Desperate need of a Reset.
Claim: The Inquisition caused the deaths of 300 million people over its centuries of operation. Response: This claim is both exaggerated and historically inaccurate. Here’s why: 1. Historical Scope of the Inquisition: Claimed Fact: The Inquisition spanned over four centuries and caused widespread death across Europe and the Americas. Counterpoint: While the Inquisition did span several centuries and caused significant suffering, reliable historical research does not support the figure of 300 million deaths. The major inquisitions (Medieval, Spanish, and Roman) targeted specific groups and regions, and their death tolls are estimated in the thousands, not hundreds of millions. Historical scholars such as Henry Kamen have studied the records and found that the Spanish Inquisition alone executed around 3,000 to 5,000 people over its entire history. Claims of a death toll in the hundreds of millions are unsupported by any credible evidence. 2.Misattributions of Death Toll: Claimed Fact: Deaths during the Inquisition included widespread persecution and massacres across Europe and the Americas. Counterpoint:The figure of 300 million often conflates deaths caused by the Inquisition with deaths from unrelated events such as wars, plagues, and other forms of persecution. For instance, the Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which is sometimes cited in these claims, resulted in about 2,000 to 3,000 deaths-far fewer than millions. Furthermore, deaths among indigenous populations due to European colonization and diseases are separate from the Inquisition’s activities and should not be counted as part of its toll. 3.Historical Evidence and Documentation: Claimed Fact: The Inquisition was responsible for massive death tolls across various regions. Counterpoint: Detailed historical records and research consistently show much lower figures. Documents from Inquisition trials, church archives, and scholarly reviews indicate a death toll in the tens of thousands rather than hundreds of millions. The Spanish Inquisition’s own records, as examined by historians, reveal far fewer executions than the inflated figures suggest. 4. Exaggeration and Sensationalism: Claimed Fact: The Inquisition’s reign of terror led to millions of deaths across Europe and the New World. Counterpoint: This figure is a sensational exaggeration often used for polemical purposes rather than based on historical fact. Reliable historical scholarship does not support such large numbers. Instead, accurate historical analysis shows that while the Inquisition was indeed brutal and led to significant suffering, the death tolls were far smaller and documented within a historical context that separates these events from other global tragedies. 5. Critical Historical Analysis Claimed fact: The Inquisition's impact was so extensive that it resulted in over 300 million deaths. Critical historical analysis involves separating different events and understanding their impact within context. The Inquisition’s activities should not be conflated with other historical atrocities or population losses. Accurate history is based on careful analysis of evidence, not on exaggerated figures. Peer-reviewed research consistently refutes the claim of 300 million deaths, emphasizing that while the Inquisition was a dark chapter in history, its true impact was far less than the sensational numbers suggest. The claim that the Inquisition caused 300 million deaths is a dramatic exaggeration not supported by historical evidence. The Inquisition's impact, while significant and tragic, involves death tolls in the thousands rather than millions. Accurate historical analysis relies on credible research and context, not inflated figures.

Yeah, it’s crazy. The actual Spanish Inquisition had around 3,000 deaths over a 350 year period. I don’t get these leftists with their grand revisionist narratives. The same goes with lynchings in America, they weren’t that numerous and the grand total is a few thousand over a 200 year period but the amount of people who talk about greatly outpaces the actual event. Like 9/11 was more of a historical event and people already downplayed that, but somehow racism or religion is the lefts greatest fears.
300,000,000 deaths!? I don’t think there were even than many people alive on planet earth on that time. I think you were mistaken friend. Maybe 30,000 or 300,000?
Actually it is true. The inquisition was active in different degrees thru the 1600s. Over 4 centuries. In the early 1200s, the Cathars who were Christian, living in different areas in Italy, Spain, France, Navarre (once a small country in the Pyrenees between France, Portugal, Spain) were considered by the pope to be heretical in their Christian beliefs, were ordered by the pope to be wiped out by the French Noble Knight Simon deMonfort the elder. (father of Simon deMonfort who served the English king Henry lll, Son of King John Plantagenet) who later led a war against him for the horrible overtaxation, ruination, extreme oppression of the english peasant ry, working/middle classes which he had English support but was killed when he decided to take the crown from the heir, Prince Edward l. The inquisition continued on sporatically stronger then leveling off depending on the church, rulers, belief of witchcraft, heresy complaints, etc. Huge to smaller populations would flee or be victimized at whim. The next well-known surge was in the early 1300s due to accusations of the French king Phillip The Fair against the Knights Templer. Accusations of devil worship, relationships w the devil, child sacrifice, theft of land, money, wealth, etc, were levied by Phillip whose treasury was almost empty, who was denied honorary membership into the templers, etc, to steal their vast wealth, land holdings, etc. Many were arrested and burnt alive while others escaped into sympathetic countries like Scotland, Holland, Denmark, others. It was then that legend claimes they formed secret/powerful organizations such as the free masons, involved themselves w the illuminati, and others. Warrior monks who kept themselves secret until this day endlessly working for power. More persecution and deaths against citizens of countries practicing different or unapproved Christian/Catholic beliefs were always in supply sometime/where such as the jewish persecution by Spain leading to huge numbers of deaths, expulsion, and fleeing of jews into the Ottoman Turkish empire in the early 1400s. The Sultans welcomed them, designated areas of housing and practice of their religion, and owning businesses in return that they obey the countries laws, pay equal taxes, and assimilate into society. Finally, in the mid 1400s thru the early 1600s began the longest, bloodiest, wholesale murder, torture, indiscriminate victimization of millions at whim of innocent men, women, children (even the unborn) and animals that people associate as THE inquisition! Spain, always a fanatical Catholic country ruled by Ferdinand and Isabelle of Castile had made Spain The most powerful European country on earth. Barr Non! They fostered such a strict religious regiman that even the slightest deviation of a prayer, mispronouncement, slightest mistake was proof of heresy and was an automatic death. The most merciful consequence. The vatican in full support trained witchfinders, heresy expert priests, fanatical nobles, questioners, those of any class to go and flush out heretics. Get confessions usually by torture and to implicate as many others as possible.Many times entire towns would be put to death resulting from the torture of just one. This spread to France, Eastern Europe, Ireland, Scotland, the Germanic countries up into Sweden, etc. Spain was powerful and would demand rulers to prove loyalty or be invaded. Also at this time, Protestant belief was becoming big in Europe. Countries like Holland, Cleves, Denmark, England began recognizing and even permitting talk, bibles for the people, beliefs, even worship to an extent of this new religion. Leading to wars and threats frm Spain, invasions, and attacks on cities such as the famous Bartholomew day massacre in France resulting in death of 1/4 the population. By 1600, inquisition deaths easily passed 200 mill deaths. It was generation going as far as 10th generation. Even the deaths of indigenous native S Am indian tribes by attempted conversion by spanish invaders (also looking for gold) was estimated into over a million. Finally, it began to taper off in the 1600s, thiugh even thru present, wars and invasions and persecutions of entire countries over religion continue to grow again. And 100s of incidences in past millenia not mentioned have killed millions. Its a fascinating subject. I know very little so lots to find out if interested. Cheers
Yes, and in a very disturbing way. Supposedly, the king's wife slept with a bull and produced the Minotaur, which the king locked under his palace, the Labyrinth.
^ That's the Hellenic myth. The Minotaur was a sacred symbol, along with the Bull of Minoan civilisation. But after that culture declined, the Hellenic greeks co-opted their symbols and presented it in a much worse light. It's very similar to how some of the demons in the Bible were originally middle eastern gods. When a culture declines or get replaced by a new one, the new dominant culture usually deconstructs and demonised the old culture's symbols and myths. Look at the modern west, and how they present medieval Europe as some kind of barbaric of backward time when really it was quite sophisticated and prosperous. The same thing happened when the Hellenic greeks and the older Greek civilisations like Minoa, Create and Mycenea. The gods and heroes of these cultures became monsters, witches and villains for Hellenic stories.
Your points are solid but you forget a whole load of Mycenean-era heroes are still heroes. Hell the previous generation of heroes before the Trojan war were the likes of Heracles, Theseus and Jason and the Argonauts. Sparta is nearly as old as Mycenea itself and has a very different culture to others and nobody claims they're not properly Hellenic.@@libervitaexaltis4551
Historical error: 1) Jesus and Mithra sharing a birthday is an urban legend. There’s no historical evidence of it having been celebrated by the mithraists. 2)Honestly, we don’t know much about them, but we *do* know that they were primarily a cult for the military 3) we also know it was a men’s only cult. Women need not apply. All of which seems to indicate limited appeal to the average roman citizen.
Manichaean here ~ yes we are alive and being revived along with the texts being republished feel free to AMA! Also chinese manichaeans descending from syncretic sects are still around, (If you don’t believe me, i can provide the website)
I remember hearing about this religion 10 years ago in a Terrence McKenna lecture. The lecture was from before all the problems started in the middle east and i shuddered to think what may have happened to it since then. Good to hear you guys are still around and thriving. Good luck
A Historical Examination of the Inquisition: Addressing Exaggerations and Defending Historical Accuracy: The Inquisition, a complex and controversial chapter in history, is often cited in discussions about religious persecution and the broader impact of Christianity. Recent claims suggest that the Inquisition led to the deaths of 300 million people, an assertion that is both inflated and misleading. This essay provides a detailed examination of the claims made about the Inquisition, addressing each point in historical context to demonstrate why such exaggerated figures do not accurately reflect historical events. By critically analyzing these claims, we aim to defend the historical integrity of Christianity and clarify the true impact of the Inquisition. 1. The Cathar Crusade of the 1200s: Claim: The Cathars, deemed heretical by the Pope, were eradicated by Simon de Montfort, resulting in mass deaths. Historical Context and Analysis: The Albigensian Crusade, launched in 1209, was a response to the Cathar heresy in southern France. The Cathars were a Christian sect with beliefs that were deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. The crusade, led by figures such as Simon de Montfort, was indeed brutal. During this period, significant violence was inflicted upon the Cathar community, with numerous battles and sieges resulting in substantial casualties. However, the number of deaths attributed to the Albigensian Crusade is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, not the millions. For instance, the siege of Béziers in 1209 resulted in the deaths of around 7,000 to 10,000 people, including both Cathars and local residents. While the crusade was severe and devastating, it does not support the claim of millions of deaths. The exaggeration stems from conflating the specific events of the Albigensian Crusade with the broader Inquisition, leading to inflated death tolls. The Albigensian Crusade was a targeted campaign to suppress a particular heretical movement rather than a systematic, prolonged period of widespread persecution that characterizes the Inquisition. 2. The Persecution of the Knights Templar (1300s): Claim: The Knights Templar were persecuted by King Philip IV, leading to many deaths and the formation of secret societies like the Freemasons and Illuminati. Historical Context and Analysis: In 1307, King Philip IV of France launched a campaign against the Knights Templar, accusing them of heresy, blasphemy, and other crimes. This campaign was motivated by Philip’s desire to seize the Templars' wealth and consolidate his own power. The trials, conducted over several years, led to the arrest and execution of many Templars. Historical records suggest that approximately 100 to 200 Templars were executed, with many more being imprisoned or forced to renounce their order. The assertion that the Templars formed secret societies like the Freemasons or the Illuminati is largely speculative and lacks substantial historical evidence. The Freemasons, for example, did not emerge until the late 16th and early 17th centuries, long after the suppression of the Templars. The notion that Templar persecution led to the creation of powerful secret societies is more legend than fact. Moreover, this event, while significant, is not part of the Inquisition. The persecution of the Knights Templar was a separate and distinct episode from the activities of the Inquisition, which began later. The exaggeration of the Templar deaths and their alleged connection to secret societies inflates the historical impact and contributes to misleading narratives about the Inquisition. 3. Persecution and Expulsion of Jews (1400s): Claim: The expulsion of Jews from Spain in the early 1400s resulted in significant deaths and migration. Historical Context and Analysis: The expulsion of Jews from Spain was formalized by the Alhambra Decree issued in 1492 by Ferdinand and Isabella. This decree required Jews to convert to Christianity or leave Spain. The expulsion had profound consequences for the Jewish community, leading to the forced conversion or departure of many individuals. Many Jews fled to other parts of Europe or to the Ottoman Empire, where they were generally treated with relative tolerance. While the expulsion caused considerable hardship and suffering, the death toll associated with this event does not reach the millions. The hardships faced by the expelled Jews included economic and social challenges, but the claim of millions of deaths is an exaggeration. The expulsion should be understood as part of broader patterns of religious intolerance and persecution but is not directly related to the Inquisition’s actions. The deaths resulting from the expulsion were significant but not to the extent suggested by inflated figures. The suffering of the Jewish community during this period was severe, but it should be recognized in its own historical context rather than conflated with the Inquisition. 4. The Spanish Inquisition (1400s-1600s): Claim: The Spanish Inquisition was extremely harsh, leading to millions of deaths through persecution and torture. Historical Context and Analysis: The Spanish Inquisition, established in 1478, was notorious for its efforts to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in Spain. It used methods such as torture to extract confessions, leading to executions and severe punishments. However, historical research and documentation indicate that the death toll from the Spanish Inquisition was relatively modest compared to the exaggerated figures presented. Estimates suggest that between 3,000 and 5,000 people were executed by the Spanish Inquisition over its entire history. While these figures reflect a considerable degree of persecution and suffering, they fall far short of the claimed millions. The Inquisition operated within a complex legal and social framework, and its activities, while harsh, were not as widespread or fatal as suggested by exaggerated claims. The Spanish Inquisition's practices, including the use of torture and public executions, were indeed severe and should be acknowledged. However, the inflated numbers of deaths reflect a misinterpretation of the Inquisition’s impact, conflating its actions with other historical events to produce misleading figures. 5. Protestant Reformation and Related Conflicts: Claim: The rise of Protestantism led to massive death tolls due to religious wars and massacres, such as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Historical Context and Analysis: The Protestant Reformation, which began in the 16th century, led to significant religious conflicts across Europe. The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, where thousands of Huguenots were killed, was one of the most notable events of this period. Historical estimates suggest that approximately 2,000 to 3,000 Huguenots were killed during the massacre, which was a severe and tragic event but did not result in millions of deaths. The conflicts associated with the Reformation, including the Wars of Religion, were indeed bloody and impactful. However, the death toll from these conflicts should be understood separately from the Inquisition. The Reformation led to significant religious and political upheaval, but conflating its death toll with that of the Inquisition distorts historical understanding. While the Reformation era was marked by considerable violence, including massacres and wars, the exaggerated figures about the number of deaths should be approached with caution. Accurate historical analysis separates these events from the Inquisition and considers their impact within a broader context. 6. Deaths of Indigenous Peoples in the Americas: Claim: The Inquisition’s impact includes the deaths of indigenous peoples due to Spanish conquest and forced conversion. Historical Context and Analysis: The Spanish conquest of the Americas led to significant loss of life among indigenous populations, primarily due to warfare, disease, and forced labor. These deaths were not directly caused by the Inquisition but were a result of broader patterns of colonization and imperialism. The Inquisition's focus was primarily on religious orthodoxy in Europe, not on the colonization of the Americas. The inclusion of indigenous deaths in the Inquisition’s death toll is a misrepresentation. The impact of Spanish colonization on indigenous populations is a distinct historical issue that should be addressed separately from the activities of the Inquisition. The deaths of indigenous peoples due to Spanish conquest were tragic and significant, but they should not be attributed to the Inquisition. Understanding these events within their own historical framework helps provide a clearer picture of their impact and prevents the conflation of different historical phenomena. Conclusion: The claims of 300 million or even 200 million deaths attributed to the Inquisition are significantly exaggerated and do not reflect historical reality. The Inquisition was indeed a period marked by severe persecution and harsh practices, but the actual death toll, based on historical evidence, was in the thousands rather than millions. The Albigensian Crusade, the persecution of the Knights Templar, the expulsion of Jews, and the conflicts related to the Protestant Reformation are separate events that should not be conflated with the Inquisition. Accurate historical analysis requires distinguishing between different events and understanding their specific contexts. While the Inquisition was a dark chapter in history, it did not result in the inflated death tolls claimed by sensationalist accounts. Defending the historical integrity of Christianity involves acknowledging its complex history while rejecting exaggerated and misleading claims. By addressing these claims in detail, we can better understand the true impact of the Inquisition and provide a more accurate representation of historical events.

Canaanite religion, Aztec religion, Shakerism, Baltic and Finnic Paganism which are two completely different religions, Orphism, Olmec Religion, Celtic Paganism, Etruscan Religion, Mesopotamian Religion, Vedism in different forms, Minoanism, Yahwism and the Hittite Religion are all still practiced today in various different revivals.
Considering the renewal of Paganism and Neo-Paganism to say some of these are Eradicated is a stretch. Sure some aspects are modernized and it's not as practiced as it use to be but you'd be surprised how some people still practice them !
I don't think any Christian sect should be in this list. It should be in its iwn list of Christian sects since those sects aren't a separate religions.
Orphism and Cult of Dionysian is still extant tho (not only in Neopagan way but literally believing in Dionysus itself) even though only some individual believe in it

300 million is such a stupid and ignorant claim, the maximum population that Europe ever had in the Middle Ages was 80 million Only around 3000 - 5000 people died in the Inquisition in it's whole history through centuries, that's around the same number of victims on 9/11 Please do better research in your next videos
The aztecs were not forced to convert to christianity at any point. They abandoned their religion and cosmogony for another way to live without practicing cannibalism over other civilizations in order to preserve their gods appetite for human blood. The christian missionaries even protected their religion,culture and language, while bringing with them love and care for the indigenous. The mesoamericans religions really faded out after the independence of spanish colonies. But dont get me wrong, the video is great!
The amount of head in the dirt denial of fact, nuance, and understanding in favor of just full on opinion in this video is insane. Especially the reddit archeologist claim that Israelites borrowed from canaanite religion. You are lacking on any knowledge of Semitic culture and etymology.
I know this is a short youtube video, but it should be pointed out that Cathars often asked their followers to mortify their bodies, as all matter was evil, and many Cathars went so far as to let themselves starve to death. Of course this is just for historical clarification, if you speak Italian or can find an English translation, I recommend the Italian historian Alessandro Barbero.
Do you get a lot of your info from that movie Zeitgeist? Mithra arrived in Rome long after Christianity. There are NO writings about Mithra only a few sculptures people read things into. He is represented with the 12 astrological signs around him so some think this means he had 12 apostles. He also is represented as Perseus the Greek hero who represents Summer slaying Spring who is represented as the bull or Taurus. Some think that the slew a bull and had the blood drip all over his followers. But this is only speculation. He was NOT born of a Virgin heh is represented as emerging out of a rock. Very different. As for his birthday being December 25th. No one knows. The movie Zeitgeist made every single god born on December 25th. The church has no idea of Jesus's birth. It is in the Vatican records that they put it on that day when the light was returning to the word in winter. In Spring, is when he was crucified. Per scripture, he must have been born in the Spring because it says that she shee were out at night and that only happens in the Spring. I assume that the church thought it best the day when the light was returning into the world was a good choice.
300 million throughout the crusades? How a about a sticky referring that? We got enough religious hate today. Absolutely unnecessary to add to the problem with such a blatant mistake.

18:38 Your presentation of the (invention) of ''Yahwism'' is ludicrously confused. The pre-Exilic Israelites were notorious for falling into the practices of the Canaanite neighbouring civilisations. The very word ''Yahweh'' itself is merely an enunciation of the 'tetragramaton' or acronym for the un-nameable God YHWH. That god was the supreme and only true ONE God. The bastardisation of this true faith is not to be thought of as some kind of proto-Judaism. The error you present here is, I realise, endemic throughout academia... but its preponderance does not make it any less incorrect.
I was confused with what he was saying but you have explained it perfectly, I knew ancient Jews turned away from Yahweh from time to time so I was confused by what he said, thing is I have learning difficulties and forgot stuff like this despite being a inactive member of Jehovah’s Witnesses, you’d think with the knowledge I have I would dismiss what he said but here we are, Thank you for explaining this so I could grasp it.
You keep using the triskelion to represent polytheism. Celts were only polytheistic after being conquered, in Ireland they skipped polytheism, went straight from ancestors to Christians. St. Paul makes it very clear that the Celts he met in Asia Minor also had no gods, he comments on how odd it was and thanks them for their radical hospitality. (apparently not knowing they saw him as a bard, and it is absolute law)

Catharism is sometimes regard as a distant,in time, offshoot of Marcionism a kind of primitive quasi Gnosticism although there must be about 700 years between Marcion and the Cathars.

@@Supernimo735 How? Denying Jesus’ physical incarnation and resurrection essentially rejects the foundation of Christianity. The Bible teaches that Jesus is both fully God and fully human (John 1:14, Philippians 2:6-8). His incarnation is vital because it shows God’s love for humans. He took on human form to live among us and ultimately die for our sins. Without the incarnation, there’s no Savior who can bridge the gap between God and humanity. Similarly, the resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith (1 Corinthians 15:17). It proves Jesus’ victory over sin and death and gives Christians the hope of eternal life. Without the resurrection, Christianity would be reduced to just another philosophy, with no power to save. And let’s not forget, Jesus’ death on the cross was for a specific purpose: to repair the broken relationship between God and humanity caused by our sins (Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 2:24). Through His sacrifice, He bore the punishment we deserved so we could be forgiven and reconciled with God. Denying this is equivalent to denying the heart of Christianity itself, according to the Bible. These events are the reason Christians believe in salvation and hope for eternal life.

@azertytores in gnosticism, Jesus is the physical form of Christ. Christ was sent by Sophia to teach wisdom to his apostles. This Christ is a spirit. Let's not forget many of the early Christians were gnostic monks and priests. The resurrection is viewed as allegorical and not literal. This is what's so wrong.

There is nothing like Vedism . And Indra isn't the supreme God. Devas aren't God , there is no English word to translate Devas into English. In the Vedic texts ParaBrahm is supreme who has no physical form he is the atmatattva source of creation and Shiva ,Vishnu , Shakti , Ganesha , Karthikeya are the representative form of ParaBrahm. These dieties may have different forms but they are ParaBrahm him/herself . These dieties are called Ishwar (God) and Devas aren't same as them . And Vedism which is called Vaidik Dharma originally which is nothing but Hinduism isn't polytheistic and isn't a pagan religion. We believe in 1 God but in different forms . There are multiple sects in our vaidik dharma such as Shaiva , Vaishnava, Shakta etc . Each sect considers a single diety as supreme ParaBrahm him/herself . We aren't polytheistic , it's like saying that Christians are polytheistic because they believe in Father God , Jesus and holy spirit . And vaidik dharma isn't eradicated it still is practiced by 1 million people, hinduism and vaidik dharma aren't different the rituals we perform today were performed in vaidik period too. And I repeat we aren't pagans like Greeks , norse and other etc . As Albert Einstein quoted [I don't believe in the God of Abrahamic religions , this view is naive and childlike, rather i believe that the existence of God propounded by Spinoza and the Hindus of a cosmic Brahman is more logical and probable ; The Ultimate Quotable Einstein , page - 325] Einstein studied many hindu texts , so this is enough to show that how different is vaidik dharma and paganism.

Claim: The Inquisition caused the deaths of 300 million people over its centuries of operation.
Response: This claim is both exaggerated and historically inaccurate. Here’s why:
1. Historical Scope of the Inquisition:
Claimed Fact: The Inquisition spanned over four centuries and caused widespread death across Europe and the Americas.
Counterpoint: While the Inquisition did span several centuries and caused significant suffering, reliable historical research does not support the figure of 300 million deaths. The major inquisitions (Medieval, Spanish, and Roman) targeted specific groups and regions, and their death tolls are estimated in the thousands, not hundreds of millions. Historical scholars such as Henry Kamen have studied the records and found that the Spanish Inquisition alone executed around 3,000 to 5,000 people over its entire history. Claims of a death toll in the hundreds of millions are unsupported by any credible evidence.
2.Misattributions of Death Toll:
Claimed Fact: Deaths during the Inquisition included widespread persecution and massacres across Europe and the Americas.
Counterpoint:The figure of 300 million often conflates deaths caused by the Inquisition with deaths from unrelated events such as wars, plagues, and other forms of persecution. For instance, the Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which is sometimes cited in these claims, resulted in about 2,000 to 3,000 deaths-far fewer than millions. Furthermore, deaths among indigenous populations due to European colonization and diseases are separate from the Inquisition’s activities and should not be counted as part of its toll.
3.Historical Evidence and Documentation:
Claimed Fact: The Inquisition was responsible for massive death tolls across various regions.
Counterpoint: Detailed historical records and research consistently show much lower figures. Documents from Inquisition trials, church archives, and scholarly reviews indicate a death toll in the tens of thousands rather than hundreds of millions. The Spanish Inquisition’s own records, as examined by historians, reveal far fewer executions than the inflated figures suggest.
4. Exaggeration and Sensationalism:
Claimed Fact: The Inquisition’s reign of terror led to millions of deaths across Europe and the New World.
Counterpoint: This figure is a sensational exaggeration often used for polemical purposes rather than based on historical fact. Reliable historical scholarship does not support such large numbers. Instead, accurate historical analysis shows that while the Inquisition was indeed brutal and led to significant suffering, the death tolls were far smaller and documented within a historical context that separates these events from other global tragedies.
5. Critical Historical Analysis
Claimed fact: The Inquisition's impact was so extensive that it resulted in over 300 million deaths.
Critical historical analysis involves separating different events and understanding their impact within context. The Inquisition’s activities should not be conflated with other historical atrocities or population losses. Accurate history is based on careful analysis of evidence, not on exaggerated figures. Peer-reviewed research consistently refutes the claim of 300 million deaths, emphasizing that while the Inquisition was a dark chapter in history, its true impact was far less than the sensational numbers suggest.
The claim that the Inquisition caused 300 million deaths is a dramatic exaggeration not supported by historical evidence. The Inquisition's impact, while significant and tragic, involves death tolls in the thousands rather than millions. Accurate historical analysis relies on credible research and context, not inflated figures.

Yeah, it’s crazy. The actual Spanish Inquisition had around 3,000 deaths over a 350 year period. I don’t get these leftists with their grand revisionist narratives.

Actually it is true. The inquisition was active in different degrees thru the 1600s. Over 4 centuries. In the early 1200s, the Cathars who were Christian, living in different areas in Italy, Spain, France, Navarre (once a small country in the Pyrenees between France, Portugal, Spain) were considered by the pope to be heretical in their Christian beliefs, were ordered by the pope to be wiped out by the French Noble Knight Simon deMonfort the elder. (father of Simon deMonfort who served the English king Henry lll, Son of King John Plantagenet) who later led a war against him for the horrible overtaxation, ruination, extreme oppression of the english peasant ry, working/middle classes which he had English support but was killed when he decided to take the crown from the heir, Prince Edward l. The inquisition continued on sporatically stronger then leveling off depending on the church, rulers, belief of witchcraft, heresy complaints, etc. Huge to smaller populations would flee or be victimized at whim. The next well-known surge was in the early 1300s due to accusations of the French king Phillip The Fair against the Knights Templer. Accusations of devil worship, relationships w the devil, child sacrifice, theft of land, money, wealth, etc, were levied by Phillip whose treasury was almost empty, who was denied honorary membership into the templers, etc, to steal their vast wealth, land holdings, etc. Many were arrested and burnt alive while others escaped into sympathetic countries like Scotland, Holland, Denmark, others. It was then that legend claimes they formed secret/powerful organizations such as the free masons, involved themselves w the illuminati, and others. Warrior monks who kept themselves secret until this day endlessly working for power. More persecution and deaths against citizens of countries practicing different or unapproved Christian/Catholic beliefs were always in supply sometime/where such as the jewish persecution by Spain leading to huge numbers of deaths, expulsion, and fleeing of jews into the Ottoman Turkish empire in the early 1400s. The Sultans welcomed them, designated areas of housing and practice of their religion, and owning businesses in return that they obey the countries laws, pay equal taxes, and assimilate into society. Finally, in the mid 1400s thru the early 1600s began the longest, bloodiest, wholesale murder, torture, indiscriminate victimization of millions at whim of innocent men, women, children (even the unborn) and animals that people associate as THE inquisition! Spain, always a fanatical Catholic country ruled by Ferdinand and Isabelle of Castile had made Spain The most powerful European country on earth. Barr Non! They fostered such a strict religious regiman that even the slightest deviation of a prayer, mispronouncement, slightest mistake was proof of heresy and was an automatic death. The most merciful consequence. The vatican in full support trained witchfinders, heresy expert priests, fanatical nobles, questioners, those of any class to go and flush out heretics. Get confessions usually by torture and to implicate as many others as possible.Many times entire towns would be put to death resulting from the torture of just one. This spread to France, Eastern Europe, Ireland, Scotland, the Germanic countries up into Sweden, etc. Spain was powerful and would demand rulers to prove loyalty or be invaded. Also at this time, Protestant belief was becoming big in Europe. Countries like Holland, Cleves, Denmark, England began recognizing and even permitting talk, bibles for the people, beliefs, even worship to an extent of this new religion. Leading to wars and threats frm Spain, invasions, and attacks on cities such as the famous Bartholomew day massacre in France resulting in death of 1/4 the population. By 1600, inquisition deaths easily passed 200 mill deaths. It was generation going as far as 10th generation. Even the deaths of indigenous native S Am indian tribes by attempted conversion by spanish invaders (also looking for gold) was estimated into over a million. Finally, it began to taper off in the 1600s, thiugh even thru present, wars and invasions and persecutions of entire countries over religion continue to grow again. And 100s of incidences in past millenia not mentioned have killed millions. Its a fascinating subject. I know very little so lots to find out if interested. Cheers

@@dead2802 thanks for your indepth feedback and comment. The inquisition indeed was stretched over very long periods of time.
The Minoan bull must have influenced the myth of the Minotaur
Yes, and in a very disturbing way. Supposedly, the king's wife slept with a bull and produced the Minotaur, which the king locked under his palace, the Labyrinth.
^ That's the Hellenic myth. The Minotaur was a sacred symbol, along with the Bull of Minoan civilisation.
But after that culture declined, the Hellenic greeks co-opted their symbols and presented it in a much worse light.
It's very similar to how some of the demons in the Bible were originally middle eastern gods. When a culture declines or get replaced by a new one, the new dominant culture usually deconstructs and demonised the old culture's symbols and myths.
Look at the modern west, and how they present medieval Europe as some kind of barbaric of backward time when really it was quite sophisticated and prosperous. The same thing happened when the Hellenic greeks and the older Greek civilisations like Minoa, Create and Mycenea. The gods and heroes of these cultures became monsters, witches and villains for Hellenic stories.
You just said the same word twice. Probably a safe bet.
Your points are solid but you forget a whole load of Mycenean-era heroes are still heroes. Hell the previous generation of heroes before the Trojan war were the likes of Heracles, Theseus and Jason and the Argonauts. Sparta is nearly as old as Mycenea itself and has a very different culture to others and nobody claims they're not properly Hellenic.@@libervitaexaltis4551

A Historical Examination of the Inquisition: Addressing Exaggerations and Defending Historical Accuracy:
The Inquisition, a complex and controversial chapter in history, is often cited in discussions about religious persecution and the broader impact of Christianity. Recent claims suggest that the Inquisition led to the deaths of 300 million people, an assertion that is both inflated and misleading. This essay provides a detailed examination of the claims made about the Inquisition, addressing each point in historical context to demonstrate why such exaggerated figures do not accurately reflect historical events. By critically analyzing these claims, we aim to defend the historical integrity of Christianity and clarify the true impact of the Inquisition.
1. The Cathar Crusade of the 1200s:
Claim: The Cathars, deemed heretical by the Pope, were eradicated by Simon de Montfort, resulting in mass deaths.
Historical Context and Analysis:
The Albigensian Crusade, launched in 1209, was a response to the Cathar heresy in southern France. The Cathars were a Christian sect with beliefs that were deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. The crusade, led by figures such as Simon de Montfort, was indeed brutal. During this period, significant violence was inflicted upon the Cathar community, with numerous battles and sieges resulting in substantial casualties.
However, the number of deaths attributed to the Albigensian Crusade is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, not the millions. For instance, the siege of Béziers in 1209 resulted in the deaths of around 7,000 to 10,000 people, including both Cathars and local residents. While the crusade was severe and devastating, it does not support the claim of millions of deaths. The exaggeration stems from conflating the specific events of the Albigensian Crusade with the broader Inquisition, leading to inflated death tolls.
The Albigensian Crusade was a targeted campaign to suppress a particular heretical movement rather than a systematic, prolonged period of widespread persecution that characterizes the Inquisition.
2. The Persecution of the Knights Templar (1300s):
Claim: The Knights Templar were persecuted by King Philip IV, leading to many deaths and the formation of secret societies like the Freemasons and Illuminati.
Historical Context and Analysis:
In 1307, King Philip IV of France launched a campaign against the Knights Templar, accusing them of heresy, blasphemy, and other crimes. This campaign was motivated by Philip’s desire to seize the Templars' wealth and consolidate his own power. The trials, conducted over several years, led to the arrest and execution of many Templars. Historical records suggest that approximately 100 to 200 Templars were executed, with many more being imprisoned or forced to renounce their order.
The assertion that the Templars formed secret societies like the Freemasons or the Illuminati is largely speculative and lacks substantial historical evidence. The Freemasons, for example, did not emerge until the late 16th and early 17th centuries, long after the suppression of the Templars. The notion that Templar persecution led to the creation of powerful secret societies is more legend than fact.
Moreover, this event, while significant, is not part of the Inquisition. The persecution of the Knights Templar was a separate and distinct episode from the activities of the Inquisition, which began later. The exaggeration of the Templar deaths and their alleged connection to secret societies inflates the historical impact and contributes to misleading narratives about the Inquisition.
3. Persecution and Expulsion of Jews (1400s):
Claim: The expulsion of Jews from Spain in the early 1400s resulted in significant deaths and migration.
Historical Context and Analysis:
The expulsion of Jews from Spain was formalized by the Alhambra Decree issued in 1492 by Ferdinand and Isabella. This decree required Jews to convert to Christianity or leave Spain. The expulsion had profound consequences for the Jewish community, leading to the forced conversion or departure of many individuals. Many Jews fled to other parts of Europe or to the Ottoman Empire, where they were generally treated with relative tolerance.
While the expulsion caused considerable hardship and suffering, the death toll associated with this event does not reach the millions. The hardships faced by the expelled Jews included economic and social challenges, but the claim of millions of deaths is an exaggeration. The expulsion should be understood as part of broader patterns of religious intolerance and persecution but is not directly related to the Inquisition’s actions.
The deaths resulting from the expulsion were significant but not to the extent suggested by inflated figures. The suffering of the Jewish community during this period was severe, but it should be recognized in its own historical context rather than conflated with the Inquisition.
4. The Spanish Inquisition (1400s-1600s):
Claim: The Spanish Inquisition was extremely harsh, leading to millions of deaths through persecution and torture.
Historical Context and Analysis:
The Spanish Inquisition, established in 1478, was notorious for its efforts to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in Spain. It used methods such as torture to extract confessions, leading to executions and severe punishments. However, historical research and documentation indicate that the death toll from the Spanish Inquisition was relatively modest compared to the exaggerated figures presented.
Estimates suggest that between 3,000 and 5,000 people were executed by the Spanish Inquisition over its entire history. While these figures reflect a considerable degree of persecution and suffering, they fall far short of the claimed millions. The Inquisition operated within a complex legal and social framework, and its activities, while harsh, were not as widespread or fatal as suggested by exaggerated claims.
The Spanish Inquisition's practices, including the use of torture and public executions, were indeed severe and should be acknowledged. However, the inflated numbers of deaths reflect a misinterpretation of the Inquisition’s impact, conflating its actions with other historical events to produce misleading figures.
5. Protestant Reformation and Related Conflicts:
Claim: The rise of Protestantism led to massive death tolls due to religious wars and massacres, such as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
Historical Context and Analysis:
The Protestant Reformation, which began in the 16th century, led to significant religious conflicts across Europe. The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, where thousands of Huguenots were killed, was one of the most notable events of this period. Historical estimates suggest that approximately 2,000 to 3,000 Huguenots were killed during the massacre, which was a severe and tragic event but did not result in millions of deaths.
The conflicts associated with the Reformation, including the Wars of Religion, were indeed bloody and impactful. However, the death toll from these conflicts should be understood separately from the Inquisition. The Reformation led to significant religious and political upheaval, but conflating its death toll with that of the Inquisition distorts historical understanding.
While the Reformation era was marked by considerable violence, including massacres and wars, the exaggerated figures about the number of deaths should be approached with caution. Accurate historical analysis separates these events from the Inquisition and considers their impact within a broader context.
6. Deaths of Indigenous Peoples in the Americas:
Claim: The Inquisition’s impact includes the deaths of indigenous peoples due to Spanish conquest and forced conversion.
Historical Context and Analysis:
The Spanish conquest of the Americas led to significant loss of life among indigenous populations, primarily due to warfare, disease, and forced labor. These deaths were not directly caused by the Inquisition but were a result of broader patterns of colonization and imperialism. The Inquisition's focus was primarily on religious orthodoxy in Europe, not on the colonization of the Americas.
The inclusion of indigenous deaths in the Inquisition’s death toll is a misrepresentation. The impact of Spanish colonization on indigenous populations is a distinct historical issue that should be addressed separately from the activities of the Inquisition.
The deaths of indigenous peoples due to Spanish conquest were tragic and significant, but they should not be attributed to the Inquisition. Understanding these events within their own historical framework helps provide a clearer picture of their impact and prevents the conflation of different historical phenomena.
Conclusion:
The claims of 300 million or even 200 million deaths attributed to the Inquisition are significantly exaggerated and do not reflect historical reality. The Inquisition was indeed a period marked by severe persecution and harsh practices, but the actual death toll, based on historical evidence, was in the thousands rather than millions. The Albigensian Crusade, the persecution of the Knights Templar, the expulsion of Jews, and the conflicts related to the Protestant Reformation are separate events that should not be conflated with the Inquisition.
Accurate historical analysis requires distinguishing between different events and understanding their specific contexts. While the Inquisition was a dark chapter in history, it did not result in the inflated death tolls claimed by sensationalist accounts. Defending the historical integrity of Christianity involves acknowledging its complex history while rejecting exaggerated and misleading claims. By addressing these claims in detail, we can better understand the true impact of the Inquisition and provide a more accurate representation of historical events.

"300m killed in Christian Persecution"
Lmao how dumb do you have to believe to believe this?
Well some believe that Stalin killed 600 billion Soviets for Atheism.
As one commenter said:
"Actually it is true. The inquisition was active in different degrees thru the 1600s. Over 4 centuries. In the early 1200s, the Cathars who were Christian, living in different areas in Italy, Spain, France, Navarre (once a small country in the Pyrenees between France, Portugal, Spain) were considered by the pope to be heretical in their Christian beliefs, were ordered by the pope to be wiped out by the French Noble Knight Simon deMonfort the elder. (father of Simon deMonfort who served the English king Henry lll, Son of King John Plantagenet) who later led a war against him for the horrible overtaxation, ruination, extreme oppression of the english peasant ry, working/middle classes which he had English support but was killed when he decided to take the crown from the heir, Prince Edward l. The inquisition continued on sporatically stronger then leveling off depending on the church, rulers, belief of witchcraft, heresy complaints, etc. Huge to smaller populations would flee or be victimized at whim. The next well-known surge was in the early 1300s due to accusations of the French king Phillip The Fair against the Knights Templer. Accusations of devil worship, relationships w the devil, child sacrifice, theft of land, money, wealth, etc, were levied by Phillip whose treasury was almost empty, who was denied honorary membership into the templers, etc, to steal their vast wealth, land holdings, etc. Many were arrested and burnt alive while others escaped into sympathetic countries like Scotland, Holland, Denmark, others. It was then that legend claimes they formed secret/powerful organizations such as the free masons, involved themselves w the illuminati, and others. Warrior monks who kept themselves secret until this day endlessly working for power. More persecution and deaths against citizens of countries practicing different or unapproved Christian/Catholic beliefs were always in supply sometime/where such as the jewish persecution by Spain leading to huge numbers of deaths, expulsion, and fleeing of jews into the Ottoman Turkish empire in the early 1400s. The Sultans welcomed them, designated areas of housing and practice of their religion, and owning businesses in return that they obey the countries laws, pay equal taxes, and assimilate into society. Finally, in the mid 1400s thru the early 1600s began the longest, bloodiest, wholesale murder, torture, indiscriminate victimization of millions at whim of innocent men, women, children (even the unborn) and animals that people associate as THE inquisition! Spain, always a fanatical Catholic country ruled by Ferdinand and Isabelle of Castile had made Spain The most powerful European country on earth. Barr Non! They fostered such a strict religious regiman that even the slightest deviation of a prayer, mispronouncement, slightest mistake was proof of heresy and was an automatic death. The most merciful consequence. The vatican in full support trained witchfinders, heresy expert priests, fanatical nobles, questioners, those of any class to go and flush out heretics. Get confessions usually by torture and to implicate as many others as possible.Many times entire towns would be put to death resulting from the torture of just one. This spread to France, Eastern Europe, Ireland, Scotland, the Germanic countries up into Sweden, etc. Spain was powerful and would demand rulers to prove loyalty or be invaded. Also at this time, Protestant belief was becoming big in Europe. Countries like Holland, Cleves, Denmark, England began recognizing and even permitting talk, bibles for the people, beliefs, even worship to an extent of this new religion. Leading to wars and threats frm Spain, invasions, and attacks on cities such as the famous Bartholomew day massacre in France resulting in death of 1/4 the population. By 1600, inquisition deaths easily passed 200 mill deaths. It was generation going as far as 10th generation. Even the deaths of indigenous native S Am indian tribes by attempted conversion by spanish invaders (also looking for gold) was estimated into over a million. Finally, it began to taper off in the 1600s, thiugh even thru present, wars and invasions and persecutions of entire countries over religion continue to grow again. And 100s of incidences in past millenia not mentioned have killed millions. Its a fascinating subject. I know very little so lots to find out if interested. Cheers"

Celtic Panagism and Norse Paganism are the fastest growing non Abrahamic religions currently, mainly in Northern Europe though.

Neopagan and new age spiritaulity are growing in the west, mostly Britain, Scandinavia and some places in eastern Europe.
Canaanite religion, Aztec religion, Shakerism, Baltic and Finnic Paganism which are two completely different religions, Orphism, Olmec Religion, Celtic Paganism, Etruscan Religion, Mesopotamian Religion, Vedism in different forms, Minoanism, Yahwism and the Hittite Religion are all still practiced today in various different revivals.
Fair enough, this video was more about the very ancient religions of these people.
Considering the renewal of Paganism and Neo-Paganism to say some of these are Eradicated is a stretch. Sure some aspects are modernized and it's not as practiced as it use to be but you'd be surprised how some people still practice them !
Yeah, it was more meant for the ancient ways of these faiths. Sure, "Neo" variants are there.

300 million is such a stupid and ignorant claim, the maximum population that Europe ever had in the Middle Ages was 80 million
Only around 3000 - 5000 people died in the Inquisition in it's whole history through centuries, that's around the same number of victims on 9/11

The aztecs were not forced to convert to christianity at any point. They abandoned their religion and cosmogony for another way to live without practicing cannibalism over other civilizations in order to preserve their gods appetite for human blood. The christian missionaries even protected their religion,culture and language, while bringing with them love and care for the indigenous. The mesoamericans religions really faded out after the independence of spanish colonies. But dont get me wrong, the video is great!

I know this is a short youtube video, but it should be pointed out that Cathars often asked their followers to mortify their bodies, as all matter was evil, and many Cathars went so far as to let themselves starve to death. Of course this is just for historical clarification, if you speak Italian or can find an English translation, I recommend the Italian historian Alessandro Barbero.

Do you get a lot of your info from that movie Zeitgeist? Mithra arrived in Rome long after Christianity. There are NO writings about Mithra only a few sculptures people read things into. He is represented with the 12 astrological signs around him so some think this means he had 12 apostles. He also is represented as Perseus the Greek hero who represents Summer slaying Spring who is represented as the bull or Taurus. Some think that the slew a bull and had the blood drip all over his followers. But this is only speculation. He was NOT born of a Virgin heh is represented as emerging out of a rock. Very different. As for his birthday being December 25th. No one knows. The movie Zeitgeist made every single god born on December 25th. The church has no idea of Jesus's birth. It is in the Vatican records that they put it on that day when the light was returning to the word in winter. In Spring, is when he was crucified. Per scripture, he must have been born in the Spring because it says that she shee were out at night and that only happens in the Spring. I assume that the church thought it best the day when the light was returning into the world was a good choice.
No, none from the movies - just online research.

18:38 Your presentation of the (invention) of ''Yahwism'' is ludicrously confused. The pre-Exilic Israelites were notorious for falling into the practices of the Canaanite neighbouring civilisations. The very word ''Yahweh'' itself is merely an enunciation of the 'tetragramaton' or acronym for the un-nameable God YHWH. That god was the supreme and only true ONE God. The bastardisation of this true faith is not to be thought of as some kind of proto-Judaism. The error you present here is, I realise, endemic throughout academia... but its preponderance does not make it any less incorrect.
I was confused with what he was saying but you have explained it perfectly, I knew ancient Jews turned away from Yahweh from time to time so I was confused by what he said, thing is I have learning difficulties and forgot stuff like this despite being a inactive member of Jehovah’s Witnesses, you’d think with the knowledge I have I would dismiss what he said but here we are, Thank you for explaining this so I could grasp it.

@@Supernimo735 How?
Denying Jesus’ physical incarnation and resurrection essentially rejects the foundation of Christianity. The Bible teaches that Jesus is both fully God and fully human (John 1:14, Philippians 2:6-8). His incarnation is vital because it shows God’s love for humans. He took on human form to live among us and ultimately die for our sins. Without the incarnation, there’s no Savior who can bridge the gap between God and humanity.
Similarly, the resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith (1 Corinthians 15:17). It proves Jesus’ victory over sin and death and gives Christians the hope of eternal life. Without the resurrection, Christianity would be reduced to just another philosophy, with no power to save.
And let’s not forget, Jesus’ death on the cross was for a specific purpose: to repair the broken relationship between God and humanity caused by our sins (Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 2:24). Through His sacrifice, He bore the punishment we deserved so we could be forgiven and reconciled with God.
Denying this is equivalent to denying the heart of Christianity itself, according to the Bible. These events are the reason Christians believe in salvation and hope for eternal life.

There is nothing like Vedism . And Indra isn't the supreme God. Devas aren't God , there is no English word to translate Devas into English. In the Vedic texts ParaBrahm is supreme who has no physical form he is the atmatattva source of creation and Shiva ,Vishnu , Shakti , Ganesha , Karthikeya are the representative form of ParaBrahm. These dieties may have different forms but they are ParaBrahm him/herself . These dieties are called Ishwar (God) and Devas aren't same as them . And Vedism which is called Vaidik Dharma originally which is nothing but Hinduism isn't polytheistic and isn't a pagan religion. We believe in 1 God but in different forms . There are multiple sects in our vaidik dharma such as Shaiva , Vaishnava, Shakta etc . Each sect considers a single diety as supreme ParaBrahm him/herself . We aren't polytheistic , it's like saying that Christians are polytheistic because they believe in Father God , Jesus and holy spirit . And vaidik dharma isn't eradicated it still is practiced by 1 million people, hinduism and vaidik dharma aren't different the rituals we perform today were performed in vaidik period too. And I repeat we aren't pagans like Greeks , norse and other etc . As Albert Einstein quoted [I don't believe in the God of Abrahamic religions , this view is naive and childlike, rather i believe that the existence of God propounded by Spinoza and the Hindus of a cosmic Brahman is more logical and probable ; The Ultimate Quotable Einstein , page - 325] Einstein studied many hindu texts , so this is enough to show that how different is vaidik dharma and paganism.
