"My family has been kidnapped. For my family to live, everyone on this plane must die. Enjoy the flight."
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"

True story, on my way back from Australia on my first trip, we landed in LA, and I overheard a passenger talking to a flight attended about how bad the turbulence was when we landed and were filing out at the gate. I piped in and said, "Yea, that was pretty bad, I am terrified of turbulence". The flight attendant said, "Oh, this was nothing, I was on a flight when one of the engines fell off." I still had 2 more links to get home, I didn't need to hear that.
