Stupid things religious people say

I did a Google search and typed in red heifer, it autofilled with 'red heifer update'.  LOL  It's a thing!

I grew up where most of the farmers had holsteins so black and white was the norm.  Grandpa had milk chocolatey Brown Swiss.  I don't recall red heifers either.

My bull Arthur was what I called a 'Guereford', half Guernsey, half Hereford. He had Hereford coloring, red and white. Red Anguses reliably have red heifers, though.

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"

You can't fix stupid... but you can get them to give you money!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Consequently, it is just the opposite.

Video from inside a car, #1. #1 is stopped at red light. #2 comes into the intersection and makes a turn, with the light. #3 blows through and t-bones #2.

Driver in #1 says "That's a sign! Jesus keeps us safe!"

Jesus destroys two cars and badly damages the occupants, but He did this to keep YOU safe?

“We were told by cemetery personnel to expect just bones in the conditions, as Sister Wilhelmina was buried without embalming and in a simple wood coffin,” one nun told Newsweek.

The small rural Missouri town of Gower has become an unexpected pilgrimage destination after a nun’s exhumed body showed no visible signs of decomposition — four years after her burial.

Hundreds of people have been flocking to the town 40 miles north of Kansas City to marvel at the well-preserved corpse of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, with many calling it a “Miracle in Missouri.”

Not embalmed doesn't necessarily mean not preserved. The RCC is known to (quietly) mummify possible candidates for sainthood.

That's the intro to a movie, forget the name, where chemical waste flooded a tomb. (The hicks in the town sacrificed their kids to the devil.)
