believe or not

The whole movie, from beginning to end, is a change of belief and unbelief, but in the end, those atheists are just dancing in religious shackles. The clergyman said at the end of the film: "Faith is an addiction. Once you are addicted, it is difficult to escape. The people in front of you are not in love with God, but afraid of God. Sooner or later, they will step into the altar again." That is the reason for such a religiously diverse country like India. On this point, Marx also said that "suffering in religion is both a manifestation of real suffering and a protest against this real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed, the emotion of the ruthless world, just as it is It is the same as the spirit of a system without a spirit. Religion is the opium of the people." The complexity of India's reality and the gap between the rich and the poor make people only experience the happiness of religion, even though it is illusory.

"Atheism means that people, through their own judgment, thinking and understanding, come to the conclusion that belief is wrong and that God does not exist. A true atheist can become a true believer." These people who do not believe in God, according to The tone of God in the film, they chose not to believe in God based on this rational observation. (However, this kind of rational observation, from the perspective of religion, uses it as a reference frame, and does not actually jump out of the vision of religion.) However, at the end of the film, this atheist is given faith. But the director weakened this point. The god here is the god of nature - "Didn't you say that I am everywhere? I fall with the rain, build nests with birds, and share lunch with ants." And this point, from the perspective of intellectual history, is still only at the stage of Spinoza. Spinoza founded the most complete and typical monistic pantheism, which believes that God is an infinite and all-encompassing entity. It is the first cause of the universe, it has countless attributes, all things exist in God, and God is the extension of all things. In the movie, the passage cites the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Koran, etc. to argue that God created the world and caused the earthquake. Isn't that the manifestation of this pantheistic thought?

Since Nietzsche declared that "God is dead" and entered modern philosophy, God can no longer be the moral standard and ultimate goal of human society. Humans can no longer believe in the Christian approach to this cosmic order because they cannot identify whether such an order really exists. So, things go back to the kind of man, to do his best to find a way to reassess the fundamental values ​​of human beings. In this sense, what needs to be sought is a cosmology that goes deeper than Christian values.

However, most people do not agree or refuse to agree that "God is dead", because when they think that they have found a superhuman being (that is, God) in "the fantasy reality of the kingdom of heaven", they think that "in him There is also a superhuman existence in the place where one is looking for and should look for one's true reality, so the suffering of reality seems to have consolation and support. But no one knows that the existence of Superman is just a reflection of himself.
