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"

^I don't get it? Are they insinuating that god is a car and that people who don't think so keep sending it to get repaired so that others don't feel bad?

I get the joke, but the caption ‘Holy Land’ would have been equally appropriate. Because that’s what ‘holy’ does.
