We have all heard many apocalyptic predictions from Christians this year, considering that there was an eclipse, and it will be probably many more looney claims all the way towards the end of the year during the elections when many Christians will proclaim Biden to be antichrist that will bring on the Armageddon if elected.
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"
