You know I just remembered I did once experience a real strange event and truly maybe someone could explain what happened.
When I was 13 a phone rang and I picked up the headphone, burped into a microphone and said 'Hello' and the person on the other side hanged up. Five minutes later a phone rings again, I pick it up and it was my friend, very upset and scared, telling me that he just called this other guy and that his dad picked up the phone and he could hear him burping like a pig and then saying 'Hello'. So then I immediately told him "No, you just called me and I burped into the phone" (this was before caller number display) to which he protested that it was not me but this guy's dad and I could not convince him it was me. I mean I guess he called me thinking that he was calling him, but still it's really strange that he also thought he heard this other voice. Could it be that he actually called him and he did the same thing as I did?

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"
