Maybe he can but that doesn't mean that I could. If someone told me that airplanes don't exist, I wouldn't know what to say to something as crazy as that. But I have, of course, noticed that some people even on this forum have patience for those kinds of conversations in various topics so that conversations become too strange or abstract after some time.
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"
