Whorehouse Meadow, a meadow near Frenchglen, Oregon, was renamed in the 1960s to "Naughty Girl Meadow" on the Bureau of Land Management maps. The old name was restored in 1981 after a public outcry.
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"
