A priest from Russia was caught on camera violently baptizing a baby who can be seen crying and kicking in protest. The baby could barely catch his breath as the priest repeatedly slammed him into the water. His mother yelled and tried to pull her baby away from the priest.
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"
