I’m Seeing a Pattern Here

I don’t know how to feel about this.

All screenshots from my Ancestry account. I located a list of martyrs and have one-by-one been making way way through the entire list to locate ancestors. Different rulers. Different deaths. All were killed for the same reason. All were killed by other family members on my tree.

I don’t know how to feel about this.

It’s the same way I felt when I discovered some of the “witches” that were hung in Salem were my ancestors as well as some of the persecutors.

We’re basically killing ourselves when we kill out of hatred and because some god told us to or so we believe.
