Fifteen hundred years after the birth of Christ, men representing the Catholic Church poured hot lead down the throats of Muslims and Jews to get them to accept Jesus as their Savior.

They did the same thing to the natives of the Americas - even used silver and gold when lead wasn't available - all to save their souls "In His name..." 
And so it goes...
