Vernor Vinge, the sf writer.
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"

Sorry to hear that. Not to be harsh, but his ex-wife was a better writer.

If he hadn’t been running late, he would have died in 1969. He was invited to the party at Sharon Tate’s house. He had showered, changed, and was on his way out the door when he heard about the murders on television.
