Does anybody here really believe this?
Unfortunately it is mostly true. I mean take a look at the case with this boy (and later on, kids)
Are you telling me he has any other prospects in his life than to become "little"? And don't you think he would have better prospects in life if there wasn't Christianity in his life?
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"
