Name just one, if you can. You can't do it. Only a fool would attempt to
do so.



Paging Dr. Mengele....



Wasn't it the Vatican that helped Mengele escape to South America?

Wasn't Mengele a Christian, in good standing? Just like Hitler. And,
isn't it true that they were never excomunicated for their religious
crimes against humanity?

What Mengele did to the innocent Jewish prisoners wasn't done in the
'name of science'. He did it because he was a crazed religious fanatic
persecuting innocent Jewish folks, like the Christians have been doing
for thousands of years.

Down with crazy religious loonacy! Long live the Sciences!


How about this one?

Telling syphilitic african american men that they are being treated, when in
reality they were being studied to see what full-blown syphilis can do.
Made possible by a deeply racist mindset to be sure, but still in the name
of science.

Not that I don't basically agree with you that organized religion is a
source of harm, and would be best done away with, but I don't think
*anything* involving human beings can ever be completely free of "evil". To
think that it could would actually be rather unscientific and pretty much
religious in nature :-)
