A young composer asked Mozart how to write a symphony.
Mozart replied, "You are very young. Why not start with ballads?"
The musician protested, "But you were writing symphonies when you were ten!"
Mozart nodded. "But I didn't ask how."

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"
