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've read much of his work, and love the Amber series. Such a great writer.

My two favourite Zelazny works are
A Night In The Lonesome October and
Jack of Shadows. I quite enjoyed the first part of the Amber series but never finished the Merlin cycle.
