Analysis of the Destructive Aspects of Christianity (Part Five)
Oppression of the Church Towards Science:
In the era when Europe witnessed the eruption of reason and thought, natural scientists freed themselves from the shackles of blind religious imitation. They challenged the geographical theories of the Church, which were previously accepted in religious texts, and boldly announced their scientific and experimental findings. These actions elicited a strong reaction from the Church, and influential figures of the time excommunicated and condemned the scientists. Under the pretext of preserving the Christian religion, the Inquisition courts hunted down those deemed apostates and unbelievers.
Church spies spread throughout the country, strictly monitoring people’s thoughts and beliefs. A Christian scientist lamented, “There were fewer who lived as Christians and died a natural death.” It is estimated that around 300,000 people were convicted by these courts, of which 32,000 were burned at the stake. Giordano Bruno, a prominent scientist, was among these victims due to his belief in the existence of multiple worlds; the Church executed him without shedding a drop of his blood. Galileo, another famous scientist, was similarly pressured for believing that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
These events were the result of a destructive attitude fostered by some Christian and Jewish extremists, fueling the conflict between science and faith. Such a view not only harmed humanity but also darkened the spirit and soul of society.
Jewish Courage:
Judaism is not less rebellious and corrupt than Christianity within human societies. Although proponents of this viewpoint hold approximately 60% of the world’s economy and over 70% of the world’s media, they have not succeeded in uniting human society or offering it any significant gifts.
The immense resources and power possessed by Jews have brought nothing but war, sedition, and chaos to the world, and their malevolent actions and corrupt thinking act like a ticking time bomb of destruction for humanity. It appears that their actions increase societal hatred against them day by day.
Undoubtedly, investigating the accidental and intentional crimes of Christianity and Judaism throughout history would require significant time. However, recounting a number of tragedies caused by Jewish and Christian religious leaders and focusing on their activities can aid in developing a better understanding. For this purpose, we will examine the criminal behavior of two infamous figures from recent centuries, who served Christianity and Judaism: Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill.
Adolf Hitler, who was a Catholic Christian, is considered one of history’s most notorious dictators. He was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933. His policies of racial and geographical discrimination are well-known. Additionally, he served in the German army during the First World War.
When Hitler wanted to test new methods of killing, he caused the deaths of 30,000 people. His hatred for Jews led him to exterminate 90% of the Jewish population in Poland, as he believed he lost the First World War because of them. Throughout his life, he was responsible for the deaths of 50 million people and eventually ended his life by committing suicide.
The Tragedy of India:
The rise in the price of pepper by the Dutch provided an incentive for the English to consider a presence in the Far East, particularly in India and its surrounding waters. The British viewed India as a nation rich in agriculture and mineral resources.
The famines of 1770 and 1943 were particularly deadly in India. During these periods, millions of Indians lost their lives due to British colonial policies. Winston Churchill, who was Prime Minister at the time, has been criticized for his views and policies.
During the Great Bengal Famine of 1943, which occurred during World War II, approximately three million Indians died, with the greatest losses occurring in the Bengal region. Madhusudan Mukherjee, an Indian journalist, identified Churchill’s policies as one of the main causes of this famine, which is regarded as one of the largest famines in Indian history.
These accounts are based on historical sources and research conducted in this field. The history of colonialism and its impact on colonized countries is a subject that necessitates careful consideration and responsibility in order to gain a correct understanding of its consequences.
The famine ended when survivors harvested their rice crops at the end of the year. The first shipments of barley and wheat reached those in need in November, but by then, tens of thousands had already died.
This book serves as a documentary and an insightful study of an event that should be recognized as one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the British Empire, especially concerning Winston Churchill.
According to Mukherjee, the cause of the food shortage was the large-scale export of food from India for consumption on the battlefields, as well as for Britain itself. Between January and July 1943, while famine conditions proliferated in India, the country exported more than seventy thousand tons of rice—enough to sustain four hundred thousand people for one year. Mukherjee followed some famine survivors and depicted a harrowing picture of the effects of hunger and deprivation. Parents resorted to throwing their starving children into wells and rivers. Many took their own lives by jumping in front of trains. Desperate individuals begged for water that had been used to cook rice. Some resorted to eating tree leaves, Indian potato roots, and grass; people even lacked the strength to burn their deceased.
