St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (1572: Lyon, France: Catholics killing Protestants) 5

This is stupid; killing people because of doctrinal differences?  Do you think God looks down on this and DOESN'T cringe?

St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (1572: Lyon, France: Catholics killing Protestants) 5

The exact number of fatalities is not known, but it is estimated that anywhere from ten thousand to possibly one-hundred thousand Huguenots died in the violence throughout France. Though by no means unique, "it was the worst of the century's religious massacres."
