Hey, if you had a strong faith and understanding of Scripture, as you say, then you would not be afraid to watch it, but you know very well that a good argument and reading a book on evolution would deflate your religion in an instant, so you avoid it like a plague.
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"
