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"

While I'm not one to effectuate the removal of people except in cases of self defense, I can think of a plethora of assholes with whom the non-existence of same would make the world a better place.

Funny bit about Peter Marshall (the dead one, not the one Valk seems to be targeting).

'Hollywood Squares was the easiest job I ever had in show business', Marshall said in a 2010 interview. 'I came out, said "Hello, stars!", asked questions, and laughed a lot. It paid embarrassingly well, which means I was embarrassed, but I still cashed those checks.'

Quote:NEW YORK (AP) — Jack Russell, the lead singer of the bluesy ‘80s metal band Great White whose hits included “Once Bitten Twice Shy” and “Rock Me” and was fronting his band the night 100 people died in a 2003 nightclub fire in Rhode Island, has died. He was 63.

My wife gifted me a creative writing class in 2002 for my birthday. It was at Worcester State College and for the winter/spring semester from January - April 2003.

A lot of the writing at the start was light and humorous, with some superhero peeps and some goths with a Poe thing. It was a fun group.

Then the Station Fire happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Statio...tclub_fire

About a quarter of the class knew someone affected. The writing turned dark, bleak. The fun was gone.
