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"

Joseph was a village idiot, wasn't he?

^I used to live in a rural area where sheep were herded through on a yearly basis. The shepherds slept in trailers that were towed to the next sleeping destination. When I was in high school, one of my friends told me about seeing one of those shepherds pushing a sheep into his trailer.
