Quote:Zambia - Pastor tells his congregants to bury him alive because he'll resurrect after 3 days like Jesus
James Sakala, who runs Sakala Zion Church in Zambia told his followers to bury him alive saying he will resurrect after three days like Jesus Christ. They buried him, and went to dig, only to find him dead.
James Sakala, a 22 years old overconfident pastor, who decided to forget his brain and let his so called ‘faith’ override his sense of reasoning, dressed in a pure white gown apparel like the disciples of Jesus Christ with only brown leather slippers on his feet, summoned his miracle seeking congregants to witness the second resurrection to ever happen after that of Jesus.

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"
