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 can't find it now but there's a political cartoon done in a Richard Scarry fashion about the busy, busy day ICE had in Minneapolis. The text near the characters is vicious! There's a cat in an SUV with an ICE agent pointing a gun at her. "Hero" is written next to the agent. "F***ing bitch" is written next to the cat. There's also a brown bear labeled "garbage."
