Are Jim Jones and Alex Jones related?
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"

It's interesting how quickly the personal pronouns regarding old people can shift from "them" to "me".
Me, I'm an old person now.

IKR? It's so weird being the same age as old people.

My big boy became a fisherman this month. He was tired of his dads old spinners, so he did yardwork around the community till he had a hundo and got a shiny new baitcaster.
