Top 10 Most Shocking Religious Scandals
November 27, 2016 at 6:11 am
Wow look at mojo! I'm impressed, they have made a video that is indeed worth of sharing. Although we all know here it would be much more then a double-digit number, but still it's nice to just start the convo how religion sucks



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"

Bad as it all is, that list represents contestants at Amateur Night compared to the Church during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The Borgias alone would have wiped their asses with those sad, puny, pathetic Protestants who just wanted to get a little on the side.

I thought perhaps the enormous financial waste that is Oral Roberts City of Faith fiasco would get an honorable mention.

Turns out the 900 foot Jesus was wrong wrong wrong . . . .
