I'm going to have to go with slavery. It's true that victims of both travesties were dehumanized, but I would wager that more people were killed as part of the Holocaust than as part of slavery. For one, the slaveowners would have no benefit from killing their source of labor. Likewise, isn't death a release from the physical torture? Morbid and macabre as that may sound, I would much rather die than be unable to exercise free will. =/
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

On the subject of religion: while I don't believe that it has killed a vast number of people on its own, I DO agree with the idea that it has been used to justify the actions of those in power at the time said violence occurred.
For example, religious truth was the moral pillar that turned the Crusades from mere warmongering to a noble endeavor. The Roman Catholic Church pretty much ruled the world long ago, and their inherent position as a religious organization allowed others to turn a blind eye to any atrocities being committed under their noses. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
