RE: What value do you see in studying theology in concerns to Christianity?

I don't see any value in theology and, to be honest, every theologian I've met or heard about was a total moron. Their solution to everything is "Pray", "Pray More" and "Go to church".
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"
