I tried playing Firewatch for the first time (it is a bit of an older game) and I thought it would be about watching fires in the woods, but no. The game begins with you being a young guy in college who meets a young girl, you fall in love, marry, and then you have to choose between letting her go to have a teaching career at Yale or discouraging her, and then she develops Alzheimer's and you have to choose between taking care of her or giving her to the clinic. Wtf? Since when are games made to make you depressed instead of just fun?
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"
