In my opinion, that is ego talking, no one in the Inquisition had adequate certainty and they all felt exactly like you do.  I object to the overweening sense of rightness that would allow you to tear another human being into bloody shreds--that takes the same god-complex mindset as capital punishment. The number of people tortured to death is irrelevant (I did not address the number) because NO ONE should have been tortured then and NO ONE should be tortured now.



So you are NOT a Christian? I try to write to people within the context of their philosophical paradigm and I recall you writing in such a way as to suggest a Christian perspective--gay bashing.  But if such is not the case and Jesus is just another Easter Bunny then fine and dandy. 



Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.  If something awful happens to me, why would I NOT want to prevent that from happening to others?  Trying to reduce the unnecessary suffering in the world is "silly"?



Well, you are supremely confident and apparently mean as Hell, a sterotypical frightened human being struggling with a world that none of us understand. Compassion takes great courage, few people are capable of it, and therein lies the Alpha and Omega of Jesus' message.  His compassion was what made His message magical and also what made it almost impossible for anyone to emulate.
