I did but he's delusional and thinks that nobody except him and the blog he follows checked the facts of history and that everyone is wrong except him and the blog he follows.
Here's for instance the Bishop of Oxford saying that the Church, and everyone else, took the Bible literally as a science book until the 19th century.
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"
