In Paris there is a room with a pool filled with porcelain plates that make sounds by crashing each other as they float and people listen to them.
I wonder if in a million years they will eventually play Beethoven's 7th symphony, or do they need a million plates for that?

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"
