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"

Congregants Left in Shock as Pastor Fails to Resurrect After a Year in Morgue (msn.com)
Congregants Left in Shock as Pastor Fails to Resurrect After a Year in Morgue Members of a church in Johannesburg, South Africa, are reportedly in shock after their deceased pastor failed to resurrect after spending nearly two years in the local morgue. According to a report in Opera News, the "pastor has been checked and it has been confirmed that he is still dead." Friends and family reportedly visited Siva Moodley's body in the funeral home to pray that he be restored to life. But that didn't happen, and the funeral home was forced to obtain a court order to have Moodley buried. Read on to find out how the whole bizarre tale unfolded. Bold mine.

Disappointing theists since 1968!
Comments like that crack me up. I used to work for a woman who made home decor for those who have way too much money and way too little sense. Some of her items were representations of classic art. One of the rules of use was how long the artist had been dead to not run afoul of laws of reproducing the images.
We often discussed if an artist was 'dead enough' for their images to be used. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" |
