"Good Will Hunting" was playing in my high school years, and when I went to see it in the theater, who do I see there but my math teacher. Now, the math teacher is not exactly your buddy, but we sat next to each other, and for those two hours we forgot our differences. We laughed together, we cried together, he sat in my lap, and it was one of the best two hours I spent in my life, all thanks to Robin Williams.
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"
