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"

When I was hunting deserters I'd spend an average of 5 days a month in hotels, at taxpayer expense. When I found a Gideon's I'd edit it.

When I was younger, and still attending atheist conventions, I would always steal the Gideon Bible from my hotel room.

That’s not stealing - the Gideons
want you to take their Bibles.
