Liam Neeson Says He Stopped Going To Confession After A Scolding Over Masturbation
During his confession, a 15-year-old Neeson cleverly began by discussing boring trivialities about arguments with his family before finally revealing that he’d masturbated.
He said the missionary screamed so loudly that “old women just outside the confessional” began “kneeling and saying their prayers.” Neeson told O’Brien that the man’s “booming” voice allowed them to “hear everything.”
“You what?!” Neeson said, imitating the missionary.
“This guy, literally, I mean, he almost said things like: ‘The grass will grow over the palm of your hand before you’re 21! Stop that evil practice!’” Neeson added. “He’s shouting this! That was the last time I ever went.”

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"
