[Serious] The Purpose of Pain
#4
RE: The Purpose of Pain
And yet the pain relief medicine has not been invented until a few decades ago. So in many ways, even the poor people have better lives today than let's say medieval kings who had no way to relieve pain and were bored with mundane everyday stuff.
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"
