You know I remember when I was 8 years old I borrowed "Faeries" by Brian Froud from the library. I remember reading this book, that also has a lot of pictures, alone in the room and all of a sudden I got petrified. Our ancestors imagined them as really scary creatures. So at one point I looked around myself and started imagining that they could be coming underneath the sofa, trough the window, from the corner, out of the box, from the closet... For few moments I was so scared that I could actually hallucinate them around me so I ran out of the room.

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"
