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"

There are many fundies who flaunt their ignorance of reality as a badge of pride.

Ignorance of reality only enters into the equation when it's beneficial to their moralizing sermon.
Not a single one of these fundies would claim that chemotherapy was "unnatural", and against god if it defeated their cancer. Not. A. Single. One.

It has transactional value, just like the Jew they strung up to cover for all the times they shook their pecker too hard after a piss.
Performative acts of pious prattle are believed to build haminja- the currency with which they intend to pay off heavens doorman.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
