Really? Let me ask you: would you like to live under a statue of a person who tortured your grandmother, killed your relatives and raped them?

Well you got one right. As they say: even the broken clock...

When it comes to riots, they are solely Trump's fault, because instead of calming people down he is making conspiracies, insulting people, and therefore prolonging them indefinitely.
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"
