Untung waktu pelajaran agama kristen dulu, aku gak ditanya sejarah2 macam gini... mumet juga bacanya :)

Sebenarnya yg di atas bukan cuma data tentang Kristen kan, tetapi lebih tepatnya adalah kejadian peting dalam sejarah dunia.

mas bruce, kalau boleh sy minta diceritakan tentang sejarah pembantaian yg dilakukan oleh gereja2 kepada manusia2 yg dianggap kafir pada jamannya?

soalnya saya banyak melihat di film tentang hal tersebut, apakah benar (walau sedikit) ataukah itu hanya karangan si pembuat film saja (tdk benar sama sekali) dulu ada pembantai oleh pihak gereja?

terakhir film yg saya lihat (Iron Glad) mengisahkan seorang raja yg merasa sebagai tangan kanan Tuhan, karena sdh dilahirkan (diciptakan oleh Tuhan) sebagai keturunan Raja, dan memakai nama Agama (Gereja dan kepausan), utk membantai rakyat yg menentangnya.

Mungkin lebih pas kalau referensinya jangan film mas, karena film atau novel fiksi sudah terlalu dipengaruhi pengarang, sutradara dan faktor ekonomi.

Silahkan post pertanyaannya di board pertanyaan dari member non Kristen, jadi lebih pas dibahas di sana.

Salam
