The Martian Revolution - the 21st century was falling into the abyss of global warming, but then humans discovered a new element on Mars that can produce clean energy and they started sending people on Mars to build colonies there and ship the ore. But over time, the Martians didn't want to be under the rule of the Earth, so they revolted.
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"
