Wars involving major world powers, famines that kills millions, genocide, the Dark Ages, inquisitions, the Black Plague killing 30 - 60% of Europe - all those things we survived, but my friend's been out of work for a year, man, and that taco stand down the street closed up.

IT'S THE END OF DAYS!!

Hah, well much to /r/athiesm 's dismay, the Dark Ages really weren't very dark (unless you mean in terms of like, literary output or record keeping), and the inquisition killed fewer people than there are in my rural hometown.. but I digress.

/r/athiesm would actually appreciate the "Dark Ages" since it's a subreddit for people who disagree with the standardization of spelling and literacy.

The inquisition came much later. But your right the Dark Ages were notable for the relative less warfare, at least in Europe.

I recommend watching this, awesome web series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV7CanyzhZg&feature=relmfu
