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"

It's god's purpose. And I bet the guy still expects them to worship this god who planned for a little kid to die.

God needs to kill one set of people so that he can teach a lesson/ test the other set of people.
Sorry kid, but those firemen had to learn the lesson.
BTW I do remember this priest from Dawkins video and you can see he is one dumb S.O.B.
There's also another vid where caller asks him with whom did Adam and Eve's children have sex with and the guy got confused, he didn't know what to say and changed the topic.
