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"

LOL! I'm glad we don't have signs like that where I live. But reading them would make for an entertaining diversion.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Oh come on you don't have it that bad. I remember watching in the movie "Bridget Jones 3" that people in Anglican churches can yell all sorts of words like "Fuck", "Shit", "Cunt" etc. so I guess it's not so devoid of fun.

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Not a whole lot of "You need to get right with Jesus SINNER!" signs here. lol
