misterdeity recently had a good video on resurrection of Jesus, where he said among other things
Quote:The single most important event life and act within that life in the entire history of the universe, the one moment in 13.7 billion years for which the entire universe and everything in it was created and in which we must believe to be saved has not one single eyewitness account let alone video documentation.
Just like every other gangster on the planet, God leaves no witnesses.
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"
