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"

I think it would be much more useful to have a God detector detector.

I remember a sermon from back when I attended church, where the priest pointed out that prophets got no cred in the own community, that they had to go elsewhere. I took that to mean Ibby was known to have some loose screws, in his home town.
