Ralph,
I'm glad that you brought this back up. Both you and Nick cannot seem
to get the facts correct in this case (and with 37 years of accurate
writing). Ben Merkle pointed these things out to Nick previously. Maybe
Nick can post the emails on his university owned blog site.
It was the city council that bbq'd Servetus. It was the city council
that held the trial. It was the court that found him guilty. And it was
the city sheriff that carried out the sentence.
Calvin was only called as an expert witness at his trial. (I will get
the citation for his testimony later) Calvin was called to testify
about what constitutes heresy from a biblical perspective. Calvin was
not even a voting member of the magisterial.
Go back to quoting scripture. Maybe you'll find one that applies to
you.

Doug,
Are you referring to people like the Unitarian Michael Servetus, who
was barbecued alive by the Trinitarian John Calvin?

Mrs. Lund,
You forget that it also is a term of contempt for a juvenile first form
classmate, as well as, what those who hated the truth piled at the
martyr's feet just before they burned them at the stake!
