Yeah, they removed the video shortly after I pasted the link. Talk about timing.

Sure, I would rather be remembered as a bum than, let's say, a billionaire. But I am not worthy to be a bum because I am not charming (enough) for strangers to give me free food and shelter. If I were broke, I would die of starvation, unlike this guy who got a whole house in a nice part of SF to live in for free for years, along with free food, a computer, and other stuff. Being a bum means that you are nice and that people love you.
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"
