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'm OK with about half of these. Maybe I'm only partly possessed.

Not true. A lot of non-religious people have intimate monogamous relationships whereby they expect their partner to trust them fully out of love even if their partner has given them reason to distrust them recently.
I agree that religion is a large part of human irrationality and gullibility. But tribalism is an even larger part. Before there were religions there were groups of irrational idiots and group think. And tradition and cults can form silly rituals and superstitions even if they're not technically religions.
Religion is only part of the problem. But, true, it is the biggest part.
Ultimately, the problem is irrationality. Even true love ought to be rational if it is to be safe and wise as well as simply blind fun pretending to be true love.

Phew! I was worried there for a minute. Atheism didn't make the cut.

No wonder that woman is infertile: she has so much filth in her uterus that an actual shrub is growing inside.

I happen to have a couple stainless surgical steel scalpels though I doubt I would be able to use one skillfully.
I also have some other nifty devices that were part of dad's veterinary tools. If a wild band of pot-smoking thieves ever break in I would fear for my hemostats.
