I sleep with my mobile phone (it's 4 AM here; one of my cats got me up, because, he wanted to eat; I locked him in my basement with fresh food, water, etc.). Anyone who breaks into my home is here to steal worthless, useless items, not to kill me. It takes about 10 seconds to dial 911; the police station is 1.5 miles away.

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"
