There was recently a video essay on youtube about how Pure Flix romance movies are a complete failure, dead on arrival because by following all these ridiculous Christian rules/ views about men and women (like abstinence where even kissing is forbidden, misogyny, and a man not being allowed to be alone in the room with a woman who is not his wife) the premarital relationship is practically forbidden.
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"
