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"

Elizabeth Taylor was publicly denounced by the Vatican in 1962 because of her affair with Richard Burton while making of Cleopatra.
The Vatican even wrote an open letter to the actress, calling her relationship with Burton "erotic vagrancy."

George Lucas wanted Indiana Jones to be portrayed as a mercenary who hunted archeological relics for the sole purpose of funding a lavish playboy lifestyle. Spielberg and Ford talked him out of it.
