There's a new French movie which, judging by its plot, can only be a comedy. A family from France decides to visit the UK - something that doesn't happen every day. So you can imagine the hilarity when the people from sophisticated and cultured ambience visit London: the jokes write themselves. Like one of the first jokes has to be English food.
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"
