A wrestler Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt AKA The Great Gama, who had a Google doodle yesterday, used to do five thousand squats and three thousand pushups every day. This made him ridiculously strong. Superhero strong. On one occasion he lifted a 1200 kg (2645 lb) stone in a feat so famous the stone is in a museum.
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"
