What I find more problematic is that they change the movies. I remember I wanted to re-watch "Lethal Weapon" few years ago because I watched it a lot in 90s, but when movie started I was flabbergasted since this was clearly not that movie. It had some different beginning in which Riggs (Gibson) is in some shoot-out in front of some High School. WTF! That was obviously deleted scene that they threw in for some DVD version or what not. Needles to say the scene was shit and I didn't want to watch anymore, because who knows what other garbage they threw in as well.
Or I remember I sat down to watch Terminator 2 with my nephew and again some "different" movie began. My nephew started complaining that the movie is boring and he was right. In this version it starts with Sarah Connor's dream where Michael Biehn is telling her that new terminator is coming and it goes on and on and on. So I had to find theatrical cut.
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"
