If not, please clarify.
Who else is there to blame? Considering we live in an informational age where knowledge is at anyone's fingertips and they refuse to tackle it. It's like if we were living in a world which streets were filled with gold coins and there were still poor people because they refuse to pick up any gold.
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"
