Wow, history for atheists. Finally, since we all know that atheists never read history books or go to schools that teach history classes.
So the blog post starts with a tweet by Neal Degrasse Tyson because atheists get their history from tweets by Dr. Tyson. And then it explains how Tyson got his knowledge from a Buggs Bunny cartoon. While this was just some casual conversation Dr. Tyson had where he mentioned that people believed that the Earth was flat 500 years ago - and thus this post debunked Neal Degrasse Tyson and atheism.
But you know what, most people did believe that the Earth was flat 500 years ago because most people were uneducated, and they were uneducated because the Church kept them uneducated, so the Church played a big role in making people believe that the Earth is flat.
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"
