Kanji is a careless atheist, and in his eyes, God is a business - he runs a counterfeit antiques store, and often tricks some rich people to come here and spend a lot of money to "please" God. Kanji never believed in God, and even openly acted in the eyes of believers as "blasphemous". Until one day his store suffered a strange earthquake, and the property in the store was destroyed. It was said that this was God's punishment for Kanji, so Kanji took God to court in a rage, and the film began.
"Oudi God" adopts an absurd and comedy approach throughout, with a typical "out of control" approach: a seemingly unreasonable move, but aroused huge attention from the society, and then profoundly changed Kanji's life. India is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere. Various sects are scattered in rows. Atheists like Kanji are originally a minority, and it is even more embarrassing to take God to court. Sure enough, the believers outside the court were furious with Kanji and began to harass and even threaten the safety of his family's life and property. The family had to leave Kanji. Kanji was almost alone against the entire religious society. Become a loner.
Looking back at the history of world culture, Kanji is not alone. From Epicurus to Russell, there have always been stubborn protests in societies with deep religious backgrounds, especially after the Enlightenment trend, with the development and dissemination of modern scientific knowledge , God seems to have less and less place in the world of human experience—there is no place for God in the modern human cognition system built on the basis of logical proof and experimental quantification. Therefore, God began to “shrink” to some In the realm of transcendental experience, supernatural "miracles" have become an important means of propaganda for missionaries, but these "unscientific" "miracles" cannot be verified at all. Kanji rejects the existence of God based on his own experience, and completely rejects the existence of God. It conforms to the realistic logic of secular society.
Religion is transcendent, but it can only function through secular society. From a legal point of view, God cannot be the subject of the lawsuit, but God’s “agents” in the world—religious people and groups, are the same as Kanji. The flesh is mortal and must be governed by the secular society. Therefore, we see in the movie that there is no god in the dock in the court (God does appear and Kanji loses the case), but the priests, imams and priests are sitting. Kanji's accusation is actually For them - strictly speaking, Kanji secretly changed the concept during the accusation process, and the accusation became a accuser.
Kanji's accusations against the monstrous and sanctimonious religious figures, amplified by the media, quickly spread across the country and made him a national celebrity. Interestingly, God really appeared at this time and secretly helped Kanji in this lawsuit. It was Lord Krishna who appeared, but he appeared in the image of a handsome and handsome motorcyclist. In the context of the concept of religious fusion, Lord Krishna claimed to be both Jesus and Allah or something else. In short As long as it is the only true God that religions worship, he is. Therefore, "Oudi God" is not a serious theological defense, but quickly turned into a social pop comedy. Kanji's disrespect caused God to give him the punishment of short-term paralysis, but during this period, the paralyzed Kanji became a tool for magic sticks and warlocks to make money - Kanji himself was deified, just like the world "saint". After waking up, Kanji saw the appearance of God, and immediately converted with all his heart. With the help of God, he debunked the lies of the liars. God Krishna drove Kanji away on a motorcycle, corresponding to the "Mahabhara". The Krishna Krishna who drove Prince Arjuna in Dot.
The status of religion in contemporary society is becoming more and more important and subtle. On the one hand, it suffers from the strong impact of atheism; on the other hand, it is the monopoly of belief by institutionalized religious organizations. The defense in ” is not really to falsify the gods, but is similar to those reformers in the Middle Ages who exposed the dark insides of the Catholic Church. Worship of God is buried deep in the heart, and doing good and accumulating virtue is the best way to worship God. God is everywhere, and God has no fixed pattern. What you think God looks like is only your imagination. God is omniscient and omniscient.
When the defender Kanji became the convert Kanji, he won back a warm family and a happy life - under the shower of divine grace.
