I am saying it because of my personal opinion. I don't care what anyone else says about it good or bad. I'm a big fan of David Zaritsky's channel on YT, and he has a high regard for it, I respect his opinion but doesn't mean I have to share it or even understand it.
Doesn't make me an "NPC" either. Great you like QOS, good for you. You need to learn to accept differing opinions. The irony of your post, is you call these common criticisms "juvenile hangups". The only thing juvenile is not being able to accept someone's critical opinion without having to undermine it. There is no "right or wrong" when it comes to film criticism either. lol
Tbh, I didn't mind Peck's attitude of not trying to gain the admiration of the town based on bravado. He simply didn't care what people thought of him which is a great attitude to have. He did not feel compelled to boost his own ego by feeling validated by others. That said, his inconsistent stance on violence is what bothered me.
I thought exactly the same thing. Also, Peck using violence to teach a lesson that violence isn't the answer seemed completely illogical to me. At the end of the movie, he was willing to go toe-to-toe with Buck by any means necessary to rescue the girl so did Peck change his POV on violence?
I agree, I commented elsewhere that Peck's character wasn't consistent.
Was engaging but felt more like a melodrama in a western setting than an actual western. I agree the Pat character wasn't really fleshed out. She seemed to turn on Jim rather quickly for being a "coward" after being over the top in love with him, that wasn't realistic. Jim was an interesting character, kind of the antithesis of the typical western hero although his ultra-pacificism could be inconsistent too. He engages in violence with Steve to demonstrate that violence is pointless after bending over backwards to avoid violence. That was a bit nonsensical. Then at the end, he is willing to have it out with Buck after spending pretty much the entire movie avoiding fighting, to "save the girl".
The ultimate authority in a Christian church is the word of God it supercedes any nation's laws (including the 1st amendment which actually says it cannot interfere with how a religion conducts itself lol).
If a church chooses to contradict the word of God its a false church. No one is arguing that a false church can't exist, so I don't see the relevance of bringing up the 1st amendment.
"Thankfully, the 1st Amendment protects us from your silly claims."
The 1st amendment is not relevant to Church conduct.
"Yeah, Paul wrote that"
I was just wondering how that equates to male prostitution, molestation and promiscuity.
"Paul also said that women should be silent and to never assume authority over a man. Shall modern-day churches live by ALL of Paul's values? Fucking idiot."
You can choose to follow whatever you like or don't like in the Bible, I have no idea what your supposed religion is but when a "bishop" who claims to believe that scripture is the word of God, I don't think she gets to pick and choose and its also fair game to point out her hypocrisy.
"The original language of the New Testament actually refers to male prostitution, molestation, or promiscuity.....not committed same-sex relationships."
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and <b>likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts<b/> and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
