In what way do you conclude that I assume all religious people are literalist sola scriptura, especially since I just wrote "secular Jews"? I mean are you really this retarded or just trolling? Why do I even ask?

Well, FUCK YOU you dumb asshole and your idiotic accusations. Do you hear that? FUCK YOU, YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER!!!
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"
