The new Star Trek movie changed lore and that was excellent. Sometimes a new vision just changes it, happens all the time. It is a movie- it is not meant to be accurate, it is meant to be fun and entertainment. If they stuck to the laws of physics it would probaly be very dull ( see mythbusters.)
As for the "bash" at Christians- I won't comment as this is not the time for a theological debate however if it serves the plot then it serves the plot. Would you have been offended if they bashed Jews, or Muslims or Hindus. Would you have even noticed?
Gun laws- not everyone agrees with the gun laws. I have no idea whether they were making a statement or not. I suppose that is down to personal view, as is the whole "I didn't like this film," "I thought it was great" debate.
You can't enjoy every book you read, or indeed every film you see. You cannot please everyone.
I wonder what all the "bashing" about self publishing is over. I have seem some "officially" published books which are badly written and full of mistakes and still got through. I have seen some excellent self published books.
There are so many talented people who are just unlucky or don't get the break for one reason or another, self publishing is a useful tool, for those that cannot find someone suitable or afford to go down the old fashioned route.
Yes there are some badly written books out there, and perhaps it is more likely in SP or E books but well no one forces a person to buy it or read it. If you don't like it stop reading.
I would rather read a good book with a few typos than a well edited book which has a terrible story.
