Quote:Australia today: Penrith, near Sydney, was for a time the hottest place on earth: 48.9°C 4,000 km2 burned in Victoria state Third of Kangaroo Island burned (1700 km2) Some bushfires generating own weather, incl. tornadoes, thunderstorms “indescribable hell and devastation”
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"
