So you've pointed out a particular category error, and people here respond by repeating exactly that category error.
He didn't point out any error and people have explained it to him, but yeah, you are trying to ignore it with some sort of pompousness and passive-aggression.
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"
