man made god

As a family, I feel that the existence of Jesus Christ is inherently contradictory. I have always believed that if there is a god in the world, he would definitely not choose human beings as agents, because the conflict between divinity and humanity will never stop, and human beings who have been endowed with divinity are already weak in reconciling their own struggles, let alone Redeem the world.
Jesus in the film is depicted as a "superhero", and he gradually assumes the responsibility of transcending human beings in the choice of being a human being. Properties need to coexist, but not simultaneously. Just like Alan Moore's "Watchmen", we see so many questions and ironies, but they are all "human" wills. We say that Rorschach can't become Batman, and Doctor Manhattan is not Superman, but Jesus crucified But it is equivalent to asking "Clark Kent" of "Daily Planet" to do what "Superman" wants to do, not that it can't be done, but doing so will throw the concept out of balance.
So I secretly thought that this was the most sincere and true story of the sacrifice of Christ.
The so-called voluntary sacrifices are mostly forced step by step. And the happiness and redemption in front of him are nothing but the undoing of redemption in the mirror. Reminds me of what a Hong Kong film said at the end: those who obey the destiny. Sadness, those who resist the destiny. die. In the film, Jesus, who repented in the sea of ​​fire, was nothing but a monkey grandson whose pipa bones were locked. After five hundred years, he folded his hands together, and he became enlightened. He said that I am a merciful Buddha.
Judge of all the earth, will he not do justice? For an individual, justice is just one random coin toss, and even if the overall trend is equality, it will not solve any problem in the individual. We are simply immersed in the torrent of group consciousness, and we push that torrent to overwhelm our former selves. This is called "God is with us" and that's why "God is always on our side". So all along, what we fight against and what we comply with is not the will of God, but the will of others. But the human heart is so arrogant and domineering, even if there is a "God" in the world, the "high above" will only be "us".

The Last Temptation of Christ quotes

  • Jesus: [stares at the heavens] Father, will you listen to me? Are you still there? Will you listen to a selfish, unfaithful son? I fought you when you called, I resisted! I thought of no more. I didn't want to be your son! Can you forgive me?

  • Rabbi: That is blasphemy.

    Jesus: Didn't they tell you? I am the saint of blasphemy. Don't make any mistakes, I didn't come here to bring peace, I came to bring a sword!

    Rabbi: Talking like that will get you killed.

    Jesus: Me, killed? Listen to me. This temple will be torn down in three days, torn down to the ground!
