Every time some white secular singer or band makes a religious song they feature black gospel choir: Madonna in "Like A Prayer", Eurythmics in "There Must Be An Angel", Billy Joel in "River of Dreams", and who else made a religious song?
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"
