Do you feel embraced?
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"

Yes, David Seymour, libertarian leader. ‘Arrogant prick’. As a bipartisan gesture, a framed copy of both her comment and her apology was signed by both of them and auctioned off for $100 000, the money going to prostate cancer research.
