I tried to watch the rom com "License to Wed" which is supposed to be about a Catholic (?) priest who is training a young couple that is about to be married. But you quickly realize that the movie can't be funny because it's morbid. Already at the beginning, you hear the priest narrating this couple's "love story" of how they meet, how they progress to base 2 & 3, and you, of course, think "WTF is this creep concerned about these people's intimate life?!" But because it's the priest, society finds it, what, cute? And they try to make him cute, I guess, because in the scene where we first see him, he is surrounded by adorable children--which is again also creepy considering.
Or maybe I am overreacting. So please tell me, does this scene, which replays every day in Churches near you, creeps you out? It's only 20 seconds long.

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"
