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"

Someone just advertised on a local FB page that they are selling a front door because they are getting a new one with a built-in scream. I want a front door with a built-in scream since the 'No Soliciting' sign seems to be routinely ignored.

My wife bought a metal placard that says, "No Soliciting", with, "Thank You" below it. It's working pretty well. It is mounted on our front gate.
