A Real Pain (2024) Jessie Heisenberg goes to Poland, sees the death camp and then comes home to NY. It's pretty bland and I find it hard to even call it a movie. I guess I should say he also went there with his cousin who is a quirky guy, but in the end he got a bit of a tear eyed, in fact they both did. I guess the purpose of the movie is to show us why Jews get sad sometimes: they think about the Holocaust, they question themselves "why did I survive" or why did his quirky cousin survive since he's kind of a bum, or maybe he's a bum because he has such sorrow to think about.
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"
