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"

The cliche that one learns something new every day is just that, a lie. Just saying.

The Rocky Mountain Locusts, which devastated crops and grasslands across the Midwest several times during the 1800's, are now an extinct species.

'Cliche' is not a synonym for 'lie'. Just sayin'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
