Actually the Christian point of view states we have free will to choose, God, the Devil, or ourselves.
God offers nothing to bribe us to him, the devil tempts with huge rewards that you actually are already recieving in most cases, or we can just be selffish.
So the Inquistion was created by Man, who benefited from it, was probably "The Devil" at the time, but us in the long run... in a cold blooded statement kinda way... although I still dont agree with it.
