Well ask yourself would you like to be in a relationship, be it professional or family, where someone beats you and smacks you (regularly) when they're not pleased with you? Like let's say your co-worker tells you "Hey Muslim you didn't clean that toilet bowl good enough." and then smacks you across the face?
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"
