lol Difference between Yahweh and Manson is Manson never killed anyone.

And also he spoke about love which balances the bad things. Like:

"Death is the greatest form of love."
- Charles Manson

Indeed, Charles Manson does sound awfully a lot like Christian theologians.


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"
