Just when Emily met the Virgin under the tree, their conversation
Emily: "Why do I have to suffer like this!"
Our Lady: "We know your pain and I am sorry for it."
Emily: "Why don't the demon leave my body."
Our Lady: "You can leave with me, go to a place of peace and comfort, leave the body that protects the pain; or return to that body, so that the world will know the existence of God."
I wonder if you have noticed this so-called dialogue between God and believers when you watch the movie. Why does the Virgin sacrifice her, the world knows their existence, isn't that ironic in itself. God really loves their people, how could they say such absurd words, why did they have to let her die, to prove that God’s purpose was achieved, isn’t this the selfish behavior of human beings?
And I feel like I know each other. Isn’t this a common method used by us humans, similar to the torture that prisoners were subjected to in the past. Either be tortured to death, or I will give you a treat, you choose one, and they will all die anyway.
At the beginning of religion, it was the product of rulers in order to better rule the people. Today, except for some religious countries, almost all countries do not need religion to maintain the national order. Religion has turned sour, and it has become a means of profit-making for some people. No matter how these people use religion, religion itself is a salvage pill for mankind's fear and despair of the unknown.
This kind of self-comfort, I think everyone is born with. If you are afraid of failing the exam when you pass the exam, you will worship Confucius, worship Buddha, and hope you can pass. You do not believe in religious power, and you just long for some non-existent power to help you through the difficulties.
Especially when some people are terminally ill, they believe more because modern science can't help them in their lives. If religion is a lie, so that she has no fear of death and firmly believes that death is a new life, I think it is better to spend the last time of my life happily in a "lie" instead of living in pain and fear.
I once had a magical experience. During a trip by the river, I accidentally discovered a particularly shining point of light. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was a reflection such as broken glass. But then I saw it again and felt like it might be calling me. It was just an ordinary stone, as ordinary as any other pebbles, and I picked it up and took it home.
I always felt that the stone had something to do with me, like a movie lawyer picking up a necklace with his name on it. Whenever there is an event where I can't do anything, I always take out that rock, hoping it can help me get rid of the difficulties. No matter whether it is successful or not, that rock has actually become my special belief, and it has become my heartbreak. The last barrier. I don't deny that this is a way to deceive myself, but it has substantially changed my desperate state of mind, which cannot be denied.
All beliefs have a core, that is, the spiritual activities of protecting oneself, protecting one's family, and selfishness. No matter whether you have faith or not, I hope that everyone can have a "stone" in their hands when they are desperate and helpless. Believe me, at least your spirit will not be destroyed. Because of the objective existence of human emotions, we are very fragile creature.
Whether you believe in or not, don't laugh at the beliefs of others, respect itself is a way of love. Of course, the premise of his belief is not a cult that seeks to make money and kill people.
