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 tale of Jack And The Beanstalk is over 5,000 years old and was originally known as The Boy Who Stole Ogre's Treasure. Meaning also that it is older than the Bible.

A few hours before he was assassinated, Martin Luther King Jr. started a pillow fight in the hotel room with other civil rights leaders and won.

Well I'm surprised and I live there. Fascinating I'm more familiar with the sharks which will eat you, or at least bite you in half and then decide they don't like the taste. I am in actually very little danger of being bitten by a shark; last time I swam in the ocean was 1971. , (December 3, 2021 at 4:56 pm)Oldandeasilyconfused Wrote:(December 3, 2021 at 12:35 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: To my surprise, there is an actual animal called ‘the tasselled wobbegong shark’.
