On this day (17th February) in 1600 the Roman Inquisition burned Bruno alive for daring to challenge their superstition. If christians get sufficient power, they will start the burnings again, as they cannot win any arguments about reality. Never let yourself pass up a chance to fuck a theist over.

Beyond the horrendous crime of a MURDEROUS catholic church, which was capable of so many heinous crimes against inocent, brillant people for their advanced, noble ideals, BEYOND the fact that such crime against BRUNO was the worse which any primitive Mythological institution could have done... Beyond all of its many crimes, LIES AN INSULT to BRUNO's MEMORY and to our DIGINITY when the catholic MURDERERS had the audacity to CANONIZE, in 1930, the MONSTER who tortured Bruno: Caridnal Belarmino

Please read from the works of 19th c. orator, Robert Ingersoll his tribute to Giordano Bruno. Though I appreciate greatly a young man such as yourself making a substantive statement on an otherwise obscure giant of free thought, you are verbally and emotionally flat on the blatant atrocity of his murder and his courage in the face of death by burning. We cannot appreciate Bruno's bold adventures into the pursuit of the true nature of things until we realize the extent of religious tyranny of hi

-totally agree-progress of knowledge depends on the best individual thinking!

-Bruno's space/time/reality made no allowance for any thinking that put in question the so called knowledge of the day! I personally fragments of the same type of thinking that burned Bruno haunts individual modern psyche's

Bruno, like Hypatia, was one of the many independent thinkers outside of the herd mentality. Bruno also stated that each star was a sun like our own with revolving planets inhabited by sentient intelligent beings. Modern cosmologists are confirming the discovery of extra-solar planets daily. The fact that we are not alone in the universe is only a logical conclusion given that it would be the height of human arrogance to assume otherwise.

@alien8ted sin embargo la informacion de giordano bruno estuvo mal informada en internet, ya que se trataba de un loco, que cambiaba de pensamiento costantemente, no de pensamiento, se contardecias constantemente pasandose del catolicismo al calvinismo, finalmente fue condenado a la hoguera proque fue entre a LAS AUTORIDADES CIVILES, no la inquisicion, y fue condenado por las autoridades CIVILES POR ESTAFADOR. se debe revisar las fuentes escritas originales sobre su biografia.

Bruno seems like he was a time traveller. Maybe his time machine broke LOL!

Definently appears that he should have lived in mordern times. Poor like had to live with such ignorance in his time...very sad...

Bruno also got in trouble for his views on Jesus.

Giordano Bruno: Che mortificazione chiedere al potere di riformare se stesso.
