So this is what Christians mean when they say christianity is better than Islam.
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"

Did you know they're making a sequel to the Exorcist?
A mother enlists the aid of Satan to get a priest out of her son.

Oldie but goodie:
Call it what you want, it's an accurate non-trivial description of Christianity's main narrative on faith.

I've heard about people actually doing this but can't remember if it worked
