Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism
RE: Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism
I just said that people who don't believe in jinns, flying donkeys, and splitting moon are not insane as you claim that they are. And that believing in jinns, flying donkeys, and splitting moon made you insane. Now when it comes to other believers... well there had to be something that kept the crusades going on for 300 years, didn't it?
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"
