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"

Nikki Haley, Republican presidential candidate and unabashed racist, was asked at a town hall meeting what she thought was the cause of the American Civil War. Unsurprisingly, she didn't mention slavery in her answer. She said the war was fought over '...the freedoms of what people could and couldn't do.'
Freedom to do what, exactly, Nikki? Boru

He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
