An explanation for the conflict between religion and reality

Movie preaching is very strong and religious. But it can be said that it shows an explanation for the confusion of the contradiction between religion and reality.

The film tells about a believer who encountered an extreme disaster that was absolutely unacceptable, and then fell into trouble until God invited him to be a guest.

The protagonist was born in an unfortunate family since he was a child. His father often beats his mother. At a young age, he followed the religious teachings (mother is a devout believer) to tell the priest. In the end, his father felt that he had lost his face in public, and even beat him all night. After growing up, the protagonist is still so pious, and he is determined not to be like his father, but loves his wife and three children. One day, two older children were playing on a boat by the sea, but because the daughter stood up, the boat capsized, and the son was arrested by the boat and almost died. Fortunately, the protagonist was nearby, so he got the child up in time. But when he breathed a sigh of relief, the little daughter who was playing next to him was taken away by a perverted killer and killed. From then on, he began to doubt religion, and his relationship with his eldest daughter fell into a deadlock (the eldest daughter blamed herself, and he also hides resentment).

The key is God's way of revelation. First of all, let him understand that God has its own limitations. It is not that there is no love, but there is no way to intervene. (After contacting, my understanding is that neither God nor the devil can directly intervene in the real world. They both change the world through human beliefs and hearts. They are all waiting for the arrival of their people in their respective fields. Those who believe in God’s kindness will go to heaven, and those who sell their souls will be brought to hell by the devil); the second (and the most important and simplest) is to show miracles and bring As he walked on the water, he saw that his daughter had a lot of fun in heaven. A group of children were having fun; again (the hardest thing) was to use the incarnation of a goddess to let him judge himself, and let him understand the evaluation of good and evil, which lies in original sin. . The root of original sin is "a sinner, what caused his sin", no one is born a heinous bad person. Tell him to forgive the bad guy because he was controlled by the devil, just like his father abused his mother and him, but because he was not controlled by the devil, he did not become a bad person (in other words, the criminal has been abused since he was a child, but Also look at the world with this wrong concept). 18.5.16
