A devoted husband is at his dying wife's bedside,
"Honey, I love you so much. You are the sweetest husband. Even now you haven't left my side for days," says the wife.
"Of course. How could I leave you, you are the love of my life!"
"Before I die I have something to confess."
"It's ok you don't have to tell me anything. Whatever it is you are forgiven."
"No, you don't understand, I cheated on you a lot throughout our marriage."
"I know!"
"You know?"
"Of course, I know. Why do you think I poisoned you?"

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"
