“’Sin’ is a stupid word. Your Bible promotes rape, slavery, murder, incest, polygamy, human sacrifice, forced abortion, kidnapping, human trafficking, theft, arson, cattle rustling, oppression and genocide, while condemning ‘sins’ like non-procreative love, wearing blended fabrics and eating shrimp.” (Docktor Jim)

"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
"I was a thief, and I never felt guilty about it. This was in Canada, when I was in college. I was studying criminology and I was also in this gang of thieves. We were hijacking big meat company trucks and cigarette company trucks. At that time, the cigarette companies had the people right by the nuts and the short hairs. They were exploiting the people with a substance that was addictive and the government was charging taxes. To break open a parked truck of cigarettes and take those cartons and go sell them, we felt we were doing society a favor.
The big meat companies polluted and slaughtered hogs in these horrible ways and exploited their workers. So we stole hams and turkeys and gave them out for Christmas; that was a positive social move for me. We weren’t robbing from people; we were robbing from big corporations. It was kind of legitimized at that time. I never felt guilty about that." - Dan Aykroyd
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"
