u,
Your point is well put and so true. 
Even Italians were lynched in the South -- Louisiana to be specific. The slave -like mindset was everywhere. Just lynch the other. 
Even the church has blood on it's hands. And for a great number of events including 200yrs pf Crusades(9), many hundreds of inquisitions resulting in torture and death. 
I recall some of the many incidents in France I think, where the church tortured and killed many who were only guilty of eating damp wheat ripe with Ergot mold. 
Thanks for your reminders.

The church is absolutely convinced that it does no wrong and follows the path of Jesus Christ. 
The church should get out of politics and let the voters speak their mind. That IS my wish and prayer.
By their actions the church is damaging itself. That is one of the many reasons why so many hundreds of millions have left the church i once was proud of and now question so very much.
Let the voters decide!!!!! When that happens I'm happy, no matter the results.
