Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?
RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?
Yeah, what makes the Bible word of God but not the Illiad or Lord of the Rings books?
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"
