I remember an older Jay Leno joke from his monologue. He was commenting the news how some Catholic priest was convicted for selling cocaine and then he said "People were relieved because every time when they hear Catholic priest in the news they expect it's about pedophilia"
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"
