In 1977, an Indian man, Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, cycled from India to Sweden to reunite with a woman he met during her vacation in India. He bicycled through 8 different countries and spanned a total of 4 months. The couple is still happily married in Sweden.
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"
