Sure, 2020 was like when you take a shit somewhere in the house but you don't remember where so you wait for it to really start to stink to pick it up and throw it away. But then you discover that your pet gerbils have been playing fussball with it and smeared it all around the room and beyond so it's hopeless, and on top of that you have your future in laws coming for dinner...
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"
