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"

Aquinas: "No, it is a bag of apples that falls short of perfection because the quantity of apples happens to be zero."

The twists and turns of religious chicanery is absolutely dizzying.
Their god isn't at fault for anything, yet is responsible for everything.
