Is God slapping himself?

This is a movie that can entice you to watch it all in one breath, but it can't help but be a little disappointed after careful consideration.

After the devil entangled the little girl, God ignored it, saying that it is because you are a devout believer that the devil will entangle you, and I am not going to save you, because this is just a good opportunity to show the world the existence of God and demons. What kind of shit logic, isn't this just slapping yourself. In addition, why did the doctor die? He happened to be a powerful witness to prove the existence of the devil, and God should protect this person.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose quotes

  • Ethan Thomas: So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.

    Erin Bruner: How do you feel about it, personally?

    Ethan Thomas: My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.

    Erin Bruner: Hm. I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God.

    Ethan Thomas: Your priest broke the law and a young girl is dead. If he's a man of God, then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. If it were up to me he'd get no deal at all.

    Erin Bruner: What about forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed or does that just get in the way of your work?

    Ethan Thomas: If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... if he refuses I will seek the maximum.

  • Emily Rose: I choose to stay.
