"How lucky it is for rulers that men cannot think." - Adolf Hitler
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"

Ted Cruz: “Whatever Trump does he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen.”

A quote from Billy Wilder's biography:
Quote:“I would like to believe in God in order to thank him,” the obviously non-American Fernando Trueba had the balls to announce in his Oscar acceptance speech in 1994. Trueba either didn’t know or didn’t care that atheism is criminal in this country when expressed openly on awards shows, where Jesus competes with CAA for the “Most Urgently Thanked” prize. “But I believe in Billy Wilder,” Trueba went on. “So, thank you Mr. Wilder.” Mr. Wilder called him the next day and said, “Fernando, this is God.”
