To varying degrees of closeness, from family to work associates, I can think of 15 off the top of my head.
And that's why you've been quiet about them in this topic. Only now you read "religious people" and automatically concluded it's about you because you didn't bother to see the context I was writing in.
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"
