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 interesting thing about this is that two middle-school girls were charged with stabbing their classmate. They claimed they did it because the all-powerful and invisible "Slenderman" told them to. They were treated for mental illness.
Disappointing theists since 1968!
