RE: CNN reports on Iran attacking the United States with Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

So what's the point of this topic? CNN did not claim or believe that Iran created the hurricane but just reported what some people from Syria were saying on Facebook, including the comments that it was nonsense, like: “This is complete baloney by the regime and its thugs,” one said on the comment section of the post. “There is nothing worse than this nonsense. If you have such technologies, why doesn’t your great sophisticated regime get the temperature to be a bit higher in Russia and make the skies rain in the dry lands in Syria?”
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"
