teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Word of Life Christian Church didn't have anyone that could lay on the hands and fix the injuries from their beating??
Oh my, we have another self-demonstrated false religion!! I could see True Christians© swarming the edifice like white blood cells and removing the infection from the body of Christ !!! (with pitchforks and torches, of course) The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
So much for the 'religion does no harm' meme, eh F/M.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
