Some examples of the violence include: In 1572, at the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew’s Day, at least 2,000 French Protestants were murdered in Paris during the celebration of a marriage between a Catholic princess and a Protestant king. The Thirty Years’ War from 1618 to 1648 resulted in between 4 to 8 million deaths. Many died in combat, but disease and famine also contributed to the death toll. During the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), during the establishment of the Protestant Church of England, hundreds of people lost their lives under her reign, including 142 priests who were hanged, drawn, and quartered. During the English Reformation, hundreds of dissenters were burned at the stake, and at least 287 people were executed for their faith. The Reformation was a violent period in Europe, with family members often fighting against each other. The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 ended most of the wars, but religious conflicts continued in Europe until at least the 1710s.

Many of the original documents are still bound in stacks rotting away in various so-called archives in Spain.

“Biblical Christianity” is just a synonym of Protestantism. Protestantism has thousands of opposing viewpoints, and this debunks its claim to be purely biblical. Additionally, Protestants persecuted and massacred millions of people, around the globe. If you want to play the victim, or have Protestants play the victim, there are many who can make the same claim against you.

In fact, the Roman Catholic church under the auspices of many popes has also persecuted Biblically oriented ‘actual’ Christians who have also always been in the minority where Romanism boasts it’s billions.
