- God created the universe and everything in it
- God is perfect because reasons since there is no evidence for his (yes, he's a guy) perfection because his creation is deeply flawed
- God is most probably evil because he deliberately makes sadistic flaws in his creation
- there isn't anything that could disprove that God created the universe and everything in it
- that people get high on Christianity

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"
