Before the plague death was accepted and welcome. Now it was look upon as something to fear. “Some of the people were upset with the priest because they only would see the rich for money and they could not cure the plague as they had promised.

The Czars were afraid of losing power so they created laws to persecute the Jews as well. In the middle of all these years was the fact that the nobility and the peasants were on both sides of the hatred of the Jews. When Paul saw the complete rejection of Christianity by the Jews, he was livid and that anger turned to hatred (Schloss, p. 89). This is really just an egotistical person unable to deal with rejection. The first crusade is another case where a power hungry pope decided to wage war in order to unite all to obey him.
Mass immigration was widely feared by many Americans due to a number of reasons. Firstly, there was a great amount of friction between those immigrating post 1900 and those who had immigrated pre 1900 due in many cases to a clash in religious beliefs, as those who had immigrated from Northern Europe before where mainly Protestant, whereas those after were mainly Catholics and Jews. This caused many of the Protestants who had already settled to blame the incoming Catholics for many things, and tensions were worsened by the construction of organizations such as the American Protestant Association, who’s sole purpose was to combat Catholicism. Furthermore, many of those who immigrated were of diversely different nationalities than the White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASPs) who were already settled in America and had most of the political power. This predominantly Protestant power base caused disputes with the Catholics who immigrated to America, as the Catholics felt disenfranchised and apathetic due to the politicians in power not being able to relate to their culture.
The Westboro Baptist Church held and carried signs that read “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and “God Hates You”, along with others, and did so in as manner that was sought to be very legal. The Westboro Baptist Church had been known for being a very extreme hate group in the past was displaying how they sought to get their message across. Phelps and his radical hate group from the Westboro Baptist Church believe that any misfortune that befalls American soldiers is retribution for the country not adhering to their doctrine, in which condemns gays, Catholics, and Jews, and many others. Seeing that Mathew Synder was raised in the Catholic Church, this brought about more reasoning for their picketing. When the case was initially brought to court Snyder was awarded $11 million dollars then it turned into $5 million dollars when the case returned to court then eventually the Supreme court ruled in favor of Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church and overturning any money owed in the lawsuit.
How inter-religious conflict has hurt people over time. As discussed earlier, while organized religions followers have provided some individual followers, they have also caused numerous and devastating losses for mankind over history and continuing today: benefits for many 1. Religions have shamelessly obstructed scientific truth while promoting despicable behavior (i.e. that genocide is acceptable, and little girls should not learn how to read, that an eye for an eye vengeance is acceptable, etc. ), and widespread ignorance (i.e.
However, if the entire community did not follow God’s laws then the entire community would be punished. This main tenet of their religion gave the Puritan leaders the justification for condemning all other religious beliefs.

Controversy- Pushing the Envelope or Burning it? Religion has always been a touchy subject. Throughout time wars and feuds were raged all because of religious differences. In the world of today the same thing is happening but through a different mean-art. When artists portray images revolving around religious icons the image may turn into something highly controversial.
For instance, let’s consider what most Christians view of using dead body as experiments would be like. Many Christians consider everyone to be a creation of God, so how would they feel if they only new what people where doing to those bodies that have been created. The majority of Christians would consider this very distasteful because of the fact they are destroying God creation and using it as a sacrificial item. Even in God’s Christian Warrior, many of the Christians were strong believer of God and they knew that this would be very wrong in the sight of God, using the body as a dummy, but just because they considered this to be wrong other’s religion consider this not to be a problem at all. Take for example, the Muslim’s in God Muslim’s warrior they were very sacrificial.
Only native born white gentile Americans were allowed to join. Everywhere across the nation Anglo-Saxon Protestant men flocked into the newly formed chapters seeking to relieve their anxiety over a changing society by embracing the KKK's unusual rituals and by demonstrating their hatred against blacks, Jews, and Catholics. The Klan attributed much of the tension and conflict in society to the prewar flood of immigrants; foreigners spoke different languages or worshipped in strange churches and lived in distant threatening cities. They punished blacks who did not know their place, women who practiced the new morality, and aliens who refused to conform. Being, flogging, burning with acid, even murder was condemned.
