"MJT got a standing ovation from her colleagues. This is the party of conspiracy theory. This is the party of falsities. This is the party of lunatic, deranged, unhinged thinking...The Republican Party and Kevin McQarthy have made a calculated decision to go all-in on Trumpism."
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"
