Put your hand in this boiling water and grab the rock

You've never seen people successfully walk on hot coals, have you? It DOES work if you have the right state of mind.

>le trial by axe

is that a gerald of wales illustration? my faves are his "irish are always flipping out and hacking each other with axes for like, no reason" propaganda series because he assumed his shitty forgery of adrian iv's laudabiliter bull wouldn't be taken seriously. fucker. pic related.

You've never seen people successfully bee burned by boiling water, have you. It DOES separate your skin from your flesh if you have the right belief in the properties of physics.

>if you dont confess you'll get crushed by this boulder
>if you don't confess you're guilty
wtf america?

Another trial by faith was making people eat red tomatoes. Red tomatoes was considered poisonous back then. So anyone who could eat one was obviously a witch.
So if you survive eating a red tomato, they executed you.

How many Jews got burned badly versus christians who healed quickly? Don't be so salty, shlomo, your ancestors were guilty 99.9% of the time.

[ciation needed]

I can't even tell if this is satire or not.

These were not real trials. If you were put on one of these your community had already decided to murder you, they just hadn't decided how to justify it yet.

The guilty 99.9% of the time isn't satire. Jews deserved most of their punishments for crimes they committed.
>inb4 we dindu nuffin, goy
Save it for the judge

You are retarded. Your state of mind won't make your feet not burn.

It seems that 100% of your ancestors were guilty since you think that you get systematically burned

All of them on both sides. Romans used to love roasting christcucks

Aztecs weren't that extraordinary bad once you think about it

If you really think this generic punishment from bumsfuck Europe is comparable to a single tribe you'd be mistaken

Why are christcucks so retarded?

I remeber reading that this was used as a trick. If the person knew they were guilty, they would hesitate, confident if innocent. Like the King Solomon verdict with the baby.

>Throw a tied up girl into the river
>If she floats it's a witch and should be killed
>If she sinks she's innocent but now with God

>Like the King Solomon verdict with the baby.
What kind of shitty, trial is that?
What kind of madwoman would like to have half a baby? "Oh cool that way I will need less cloth to dress him!"

I see nothing about people using a tomato to "test guilt"

it makes sense if the mother of the death child was jealous and would rather see neither have a child.

>confident if innocent.

Even if I was innocent I wouldn't confidently throw my hand in a pot of boiling water.

>what's thermodynamics
Water properties are not the same as in coal

You neee to stop projecting modern values on alien society. Don't underestimate the cynicism among women in places like China even today, let alone the Middle East 3000 years ago.

Protestantism is one hell of a mental disorder.

>cynicism among women
Now you look like one of those "women are just evil dude" guys.

I've seen videos of kids literally being hit by cars in China and people just walk away not giving a shit. Do I think that in a time and place. Let's say the Levant 3000 years ago, where death is more common and accepted, the real mother would care more about th child than the women who kidnapped her? The idea that all human life has equal value really is specific.

Doesn't that violate one of the ten commandments though? I don't understand Christian logic.

TBF this system of justice, while having faults, is an improvement on families killing each other over generations for vendettas and feuds.

At least you can put up a fight and probably feel nothing because of adrenaline. Here you'll feel immense pain and die of some infection.

>"Hey so John how do we make sure we can kill anyone we want without our corruption being blatantly obvious"
>"Well William, that good for nothing Vatican isn't completely useless after all!"

Ordeals and trial by combat replaced a practice where two families in dispute would kill opposing members until their honor was restored over the original transgression done to them. These feuds could last for generations. Giving God the Judgment, might not have any greater chance in seeking actual justice, but at least it settled the matter concisely.

It only needs to start to heal, not have completely turned back to normal.

You weren't tied up.

Christians are utter savages

It works, don't it?

You do know that same shit happens everywhere? India or Brazil or Russia or South Africa.

>You are hereby sentenced to death.
>Also because your crime was so fucking bad, we hereby also sentence your family, grandparents, and uncles and aunts, children, grandchildren (if any), your wife, and your wife's parents to death
wtf china?

If you were a Muslim, you'd gang rape her first.

This sort of stuff happened the world over.
