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"

“Take some time and put the Bible on your summer reading list. Try and stick with it cover to cover. Not because it teaches history. We’ve shown you it doesn’t. Read it because you’ll see for yourself what the Bible is all about. It sure isn’t great literature. If it were published as fiction, no reviewer would give it a passing grade. There are some vivid scenes and quotable phrases, but there’s no plot, no structure, there’s a tremendous amount of filler, and the characters are painfully one-dimensional. Whatever you do, don’t read the Bible for a moral code: it advocates prejudice, cruelty, superstition and murder. Read it because we need more atheists, and nothing will get you there faster than reading the damn Bible.” (Penn Gillette)  Read

"So now it comes down to Bing, which utilises the latest GPT-4 (opens in new tab) model that would only be available to ChatGPT users if they paid for the Pro version. With Bing you can access it for free as long as you sign in with your Live account, open the page in Microsoft Edge, and promise Microsoft your firstborn child."
