Shame, it would've made for a good story.

napoleon should have stayed on his island

I actually don't know much about napoleon or his reign. There's too much history to worry about.

that nigga has a complex

He was short too. Short people are inherently evil.

6ft or gtfo.

cringe

though it wouldn't be an innaccurate portrayal that many life long atheists panic convert as they die

it wouldn't surprise me that most of these ended up accurate in some way

```The French king. Urged on by his mother, he gave the order for the massacre of the French Huguenots, in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ. The guilty king suffered miserably for years after that event. He finally died, bathed in blood bursting from his veins. To his physicians, he said in his last hours: "Asleep or awake, I see the mangled forms of the Huguenots passing before me. They drop with blood. They point at their open wounds. Oh! That I had spared at least the little infants at the bosom! What blood! I know not where I am. How will all this end? What shall I do? I am lost forever! I know it. Oh, I have done wrong."```

"""Atheists"""

Charles IX was Catholic

St. Bartholomew's Day massacre is what this was referring to.

Though what he did was wrong regardless.

```in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ```

Didn't Anton LaVey have a deathbed conversion?

It's possible.

This line above is simply not true.

The Huguenots were Calvinists (i.e. predistination believers among other things) and in open rebellion against the King.

_But again_ killing children is out of the picture.

It's good that he saw, through his suffering on his deathbed, what he did was wrong.

It seems a cringe boomer protestant mommy website posted this errouneously, though there is truth to what they're saying.

Ah, cringe boomer Protestants.

Leftists sure are gonna miss them.

Rough

The atheists especially

That and RadTradCath instant converts

People who don't know Biblical explainations and theology in general are perfect food for atheists.

There's a nuance to every teaching, really, protestant or not.

Guys like Wycliffe and Tyndale weren't dumb, they were exceptionally smart men.

The Douay-Rheims 1899 Bible (one of the most popular in Catholic history), AND KJV are based off of Wycliffe's and Tyndale's translations.

Which is why you see similar language in both if you do Bible study and language comparison.

@rybus Huguenots were not in open revolt at the time. They were invited to a marriage in Paris. They went and were later massacred.

talking about after the marriage

the issue was it was a series of executions done by the crown done after/during the wedding, subsequent escalations on both sides, mostly by the Parisians, and then an open revolt and radicalization after the wedding had lead to the conflicts

and then the Huguenots were slaughtered completely

not even by crown authorities

after an attempted assassination of Gaspard II de Coligny

>Traditionally believed to have been instigated by Queen Catherine de' Medici, the mother of King Charles IX, the massacre took place a few days after the wedding day (18 August) of the king's sister Margaret to the Protestant Henry III of Navarre (the future Henry IV of France). Many of the most wealthy and prominent Huguenots had gathered in largely Catholic Paris to attend the wedding.

The massacre began in the night of 23–24 August 1572 (the eve of the feast of Bartholomew the Apostle), two days after the attempted assassination of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the military and political leader of the Huguenots. King Charles IX ordered the killing of a group of Huguenot leaders, including Coligny, and the slaughter spread throughout Paris. Lasting several weeks, the massacre expanded outward to other urban centres and the countryside.

```Catherine de' Medici, and her son, Charles IX, were practical in their support of peace and Coligny, as they were conscious of the kingdom's financial difficulties and the Huguenots' strong defensive position: they controlled the fortified towns of La Rochelle, La Charité-sur-Loire, Cognac, and Montauban.```
