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"

^ Is that going to be like the "Loaves and Fishes" story in the buy-bull? Gonna need to replicate that sausage, tout-suite!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Just as we suspected. Every church is nothing but a sausage fest.
