Chinese people have to worship their president and even make pilgrimages to holy sites, like the house he was born. Needless to say that they are not allowed to question him and he has positioned himself to be their ruler for life. He is constantly policing everyone to see what they are thinking.
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"
