Yeah, Valkyrie, you work at the hospital so please be so kind and tell us how many times a year, or maybe even a month, do you or any of the other doctors in the hospital get to say to the patient: "Good news! We don't need to operate on you. All your injuries have been healed by your family's prayers!"?
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"
