Actually, if you have been paying attention you would have noticed that the NYT was/ is very favorable towards Trump lately, like a headline that suggests Biden's age is worse than Trump’s threat to NATO, and a story about Trump threatening to abandon NATO allies and encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” was the 4th story on the New York Times website, under 2 stories about Biden being old.
So much for the Times being Biden's mouthpiece.
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"
