The Original Sin of Religion-Loyalty

Mylene 2021-12-11 08:01:20

In the Bible, in order to test Abraham's loyalty, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. I think this is a major sin of religion.

In all religions, loyalty comes first. Morality, goodness, and evil can all be let go, and loyalty comes first.
As a Chinese, I have a better understanding of this concept.
Stalin, Hitler, all dictators, and all kinds of cults, underworlds, and gangs
all have this similarity. That is the first principle to be promoted. It must be loyalty, infinite loyalty, all other shit stuff. They can all stand aside, so as long as
all actions “by God’s will” are legalized and justified, they can kill people and set fires, slaughter the city, set fire to the city, crusade, or burn to death. Million witches.
Therefore, terrorists can also kill hundreds of civilians for jihad.
Killing a few wicked people here is even more of a problem.

This film looks good as a feature film, and the plot setting is also wonderful. But to be more religious, this film is quite weak. What I don’t know is, if a Christian, would he support or oppose this film?

    The history of mad father murder + the growth history of criminal teenagers, the end of the brotherhood reversal is easy to guess. The seemingly contradictory values ​​of God are actually a kind of disguised questioning, but the film is ambiguous in this respect. Lost in the thrilling plot of a suspenseful crime movie. But as the latter, this movie is also a small surprise.

Frailty quotes

  • [voice-over during when Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam are preparing to capture the second demon]

    Adam Meiks: Dad told us that there were moments in everyone's life when they could suddenly just disappear without anyone knowing where they went or why. He said those were the moments when God's hands would reach out and take you. According to Dad, nothing, not even a camera could catch us. We were invisible when we were God's hands.

  • [Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam return to the shed with the second demon, Edward March]

    Dad: Edward March?

    [Edward March wakes up]

    Dad: You think that's an innocent man there, but it's not.

    [Dad reaches to touch the head of Edward March to reveal his sins]

    Dad: You didn't think anybody knew about that, did you? But God saw you!

    Young Fenton: Dad, don't! Please!

    Dad: [Dad closes the shed window and raises the ax over Edward March] And you can't escape God's wrath!

    [Afterwards, we see Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam burying the second demon in the Rose Garden]

    Dad: I still can't believe you didn't see it. He was a murderer of little children, Fenton. Babies... babies.

    [Dad walks off]

    Young Fenton: He's the murderer. We got to get out of here, Adam.

    Young Adam: What do you mean?

    Young Fenton: We gotta run away. I told you we were gonna have to.

    Young Adam: I don't want to run away.

    Young Fenton: [Fenton continues to dump the limbs into the hole] We have to.

    Young Adam: Why?

    Young Fenton: Listen to me, Adam... Dad kills people.

    Young Adam: No he doesn't! He's a demon slayer.

    Young Fenton: That's all lies, Adam.

    Young Adam: No, it's not, I see it when he touches them.

    Young Fenton: No, you don't. Dad's brainwashed you, it's all a big lie. He's a murderer and you help him.

    Young Adam: Nuh-uh! We're just serving God's will. I'm telling Dad on you!

    Young Fenton: Adam! Adam!

    [Adam runs off]
