"A Place in the Sun" (1951) a good first hour, but then it gets too melodramatic when the main character contemplates killing his girlfriend because he made her pregnant and she's forcing him into marriage. Couldn't he simply tell her that he doesn't want to marry her and that he'll pay her alimony instead? Even if she threatened to tell his other girlfriend, it didn't matter because it seemed that the other gf was in love with him no matter what. Seems too much fuss for something that could have easily been settled among adults.
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"
