Just watched this movie on television today, I have to say that this was a very moving and powerful movie. It shows the strength of humanity with the will and faith of a higher belief. I myself was never one to believe it if I hadn't seen it, but in recent years I have become a firm believer that WE are all a higher power ourselves. We are our God. Now I'm not trying to start any arguments or anything of that nature. What I was intending to say is the climax brought me instantly to and tears.
forget about religion, forget about science, look around you, we are here for a reason, DNA is a code, the same code that we use for computer technology, its called binary code, 1s and 0s, dna is exactly the same, it is a code made up of 2 variables, NATURE alone cannot create dna and right the code to make everything living around you, random mutation and natrual selection does not create a nucleus inside a cell that regenerates through nuclear power, THERE IS A GOD, that is a fact.
@bswan1955 do not get me wrong, the theory of evolution is still very real, but science is missing something, ONLY becasue they cannot prove it, the laws of physics states that something cannot come from nothing, there is a superior being, this beautiful earth doesnt happen on accident, if heaven was easy to find it woudlnt be worth FIGHTING FOR, life is a fight, you get rewarded at the end by being able to rest, life is never meant to be easy
@bswan1955 If nothing can come into the world from nothing, how did God come into existence. If hes infinite, how is it possibly to have an infinite being? Scientifically, it isnt. There is no scientific or logical answer to that question.
@metaitachi That's the whole basis of faith. Faith is beleiving something we can't see. Gravity can't be seen and is a "theory" but everyone beleives its there. The clay doesn't ask the potter "why did u mold me this way?" The one who made us always made us with a limited mind so we cant even try to understand a being (God) that was here before creation. We cant live by our mind but rather by our spirit
@92886beach But gravity can be represented in calculations and experimented with. And 'theory' basically means proven in the scientific theory, you're thinking of a hypothesis.
@metaitachi Gravity is a theory. Gravity can't be seen. BUT yes there are very strong facts and what not that support it. I was just making a comparision between gravity and God. Of course i believe in gravity, I've fallen before lol. Supernatural experiences, the bible, etc are "experiments" and "calculations" that make faith grow stronger
@92886beach No the supernatural experiences and the bible are not experiments and calculations because that would imply that they have empirically been proven. The bible and religion in general has no cold evidence which is why it is called 'faith'. Unfortunately, i dont have the faith to suspend my disbelief which is why i am an atheist.
@metaitachi No your right they are not actual calculations I was just trying to make a reference. Well to be honest you come off and seem like a really intelligent person which can make it hard to have faith because faith is not very "logical". Our own minds tell us that things we can't see are not there, everything is explainable, etc. But when we take a leap of faith and risk the unknown, by submiting to the God we cant see, we give ourselves a chance to experience Him.
@92886beach Well I guess thats my problem. I lack the ability to suspend by belief for such an enormous concept. I can't lead my life based on something im hoping is true. And ive been a pretty dedicated christian (ive volunteered to altar serve, i wore a cross around my neck, ive prayed before bed) and i haven't 'experienced' Him, so I lack any basis on which to take this leap of faith again.
@metaitachi Well that's great that you have tried before. The only advice I have for you is to not look at religion as something you "have to do" or that it is almost like a chore but rather a personal relationship with a living breathing God. When you view it as a loving relationship and not as a "duty" or mere "religion" it changes the mindset and allows for an intimate relationship to form and He can reveal Himself in new ways.
@ben Survivable levels of nuclear war, then social collapse. If just 1% of the13,000+ known nuclear weapons in the US&USSR were all detonated in isolated places only, the consequences would reduce humanity to such barbarism- if we even survived. The USSR's "Tsar Bomba"(Big Ivan) in '61 was equal to 1,400 TIMES the combined power of BOTH the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2- they were tiny in comparison. That was as detonated. Big Ivan was going to be twice that size...
Also, none of my previous comments were meant to throw anyone off of their socks, insult, or even demean. It is simply a share of my insight.
I am a man of no religion, yet I am a man of faith, so I can relate to some of the points that are made. However, remember: FAITH is a mindset, and it is universal. You can have faith in anything, if you put your mind to it, wether it's God, Allah, Jehova/Jaweh, Shiva or..... your parents/loved ones. Faith =/= Religion
I am not really religious or anything. But I have had some tough times in my life these last few weeks and listening to this really has helped get through everything. Sometimes you need to put away doubt and believe in something with good intentions. And nobody troll me about the bible or anything.
Jesus told the multitude. and said unto them."Not that which goeth into the mouth of man defiles a man but what comes out of a mans mouth defiles man"
When I first saw this part of the movie, especially when they made the Bible, I felt so happy!! When I started... idk, I guess doubting, and watched this part again; I cried. Now watching this again, my eyes are watering....
I am collecting stuff for my WW III survival gear;
the first thing I will want to get - a Bible (in English, not braille, though (laughing out loud)) But I had a question about this movie, when will the Rapture occur in the movie?
@Neil51442 amen brother, welcome to the family. This movie was great saw it for the first time, was heart warming and heartbreaking especially when Eli died. Song is great though. good movie, my now top favorite i would like to see a new one, how the world is now after all this.
I remember watching IHWC Sweden vs Finland Final. Sweden was leading 1-0 on the second period. I went out and saw a beautiful sky and sun. It had rained the whole day. I thought to myself: "Now its Finlands turn to win". I also thought that if they win God really exists. And they did, 6-1. Now this might not be the best way to discover that god exists :D but it was just one case among many others. These small things make me believe in God.
@nolife1111}well put my good man, well put and thank u!! The praying for my enemies has always been hard fo me, but hey everyday is a new day to start!!
I was using my iPhone i think. but i have found other videos on youtube where he is talking, but it doesnt say the same thing that he said when i watched it on tv, so what i saw on tv must have been the longer version? idk, but i like that way better
@CarneyAsada101 Try the DVD. It may just have seemed that way the first time you watched it. The second time I noticed all kinds of things. Lots of fleur-de-lis(I'm from New Orleans). I always liked how they show the "flower of light in the field of darkness"- the sunflower when she visits his grave. It was just like the Johnny Cash "Live from Folsom Prison" quote he mentioned to her earlier. Eli was certainly walking: "By Faith.... NOT by sight"! Peace, -g
I have discovered that I merely have to open my eyes in the morning and see the clouds or the sunny sky and hear the birds in the air and the sound of my children at my feet to recognize that I am here by intelligent design. When I sought out God with all of my heart, He made himself very apparent to me. I would suggest that you could try seeking Him out with all that is in you and see if you don't find the evidence of His existence that you need.
@TenacityQ I chuckled at the intelligent design part. It's one thing to have faith in a spiritual God, and I have no qualms with this. It's another to rationalize your reality to fit what's inside of the Bible.
@TenacityQ Yes. Let us ignore the countless billions that died, the fact that we use the same pipe to swallow and breathe, the fact that the Andromeda galaxy is heading straight on a collision course with our galaxy, the countless billions killed in the Bible, the countless evil deads carried out in the Bible, the fact that God has done nothing to stop evil dictators from doing what they do, the fact that God has killed more than Satan. Let's ignore all that and smell the flowers, hmm? :)
@notessimodude God has done nothing to stop evil dictators? All humans are given personal choice to live how they want. So those who choose to live sinfully can or live by God's love.Our flesh and the enemy attempt to make us choose sin and make it seem like the right choic, but (with our free choice) when we choose God's way we can live by our spirit and the love of the father to help us realized the falso illusion that sin is and live in Him. So dont blame God for bad things ppl do
@92886beach So basically God is useless in that he chooses not to save the righteous and kill the evil? God is an asshole with all the power but no will to use any of it.
@notessimodude He is "useless" and an "asshole" because he brings justice to the righteous by giving them eternal life with them? Sorry you feel this way, I pray that God will show you his love to reveal the meaning of life :)
@92886beach Justice and eternal life to the righteous? What about a wife whose "righteous" husband dies? She could kill herself and possibly go to Hell for suicide, even if she was Christian. Here's a question for you. If a devout Christian and I lead an equally moral life and only commit bad deeds as much as the other, does one really deserve Hell and the other Heaven? Just because he chose to follow one religion and I none?
@notessimodude Well its not about "doing enough" to get in heaven or doing "bad sins" to be punished in hell. It's about the inward posture of the persons heart rather than just what the person has done since we all sin constanly.Things that we do can be a good measure of where our heart is. We either serve Satan through sin or God in love and will end up with the one we serve .Jesus sacrificed himself for all sin so through faith we can be completely cleansed from all sin through repentance
@TSGhost You're not sticking to the scenario. Answer the question. If me and a devout Christian both lead an equally excellent life, do I deserve to burn in Hell for being an atheist? If you don't answer yes or no, I'm ending this conversation.
@notessimodude I suppose the simple answer to your question is: no. But it is more complicated than that. It may depend on whether or not you are truly sorry(and ask for forgiveness) for any wrong you may have done in your life, at or before the time of judgement.
@TSGhost I'm glad you said no. That makes you an intelligent person, congratulations. But we still have some work to do. So let's say God doesn't send me to Hell, and he doesn't send the Christian there either. So tell me this, and answer clearly, please. If both an atheist and a Christian can get into Heaven, then what's the point of the Bible's message?
@notessimodude As is said in the movie, "Do for others more than you do for yourself." The golden rule. Pride is one of the biggest obstacles in doing this. Some(not all) Christians think it's their way or the highway. Athiests(some, not all) are convinced there is no god, and put down those that believe. Both are results of pride.
@notessimodude It's not for us to judge who goes to heaven or hell. But all I can say to that is God's grace is greater than sin. The person next to Jesus on one of the other crosses was a murderer but yet minutes before he died Jesus showed him grace and went to heaven. And also someone who truely loves God is not going to flip him off
@92886beach Answer me. Yes or no. If YOU were God, and I did the exact same things a Christian did in his lifetime, would YOU send me to burn in Hell forever?
@notessimodude Again, its not all about what a person does, its about the person's heart. And being a "christian" doesn't necessarilly validate anything. I know plently who call themselves one thing and are far from it. And also I will never be God so that's far from a realistic question. But here is the answer - If YOU have given your life to Jesus then YES YOU will go to heaven for sure. Thats the only 100% way to know for sure and I like those odds.
@sp3xs God speaks back, always. You just need to quiet down and listen. Find the ways which you can communicate to him, it is different for each person. Christ is the only way friend
@sp3xs just a thought-maybe, instead of talking to Him....take the time to listen.....and I don't say any of that with malice or condescension. I mean that with all my heart friend....
@sp3xs Try praying for everyone except yourself for a few hours straight, your Spirit might project out of your body up into the air temporarily... you'll see things through the eyes of your spiritual body... and likely realize some things. :) Most vivid personal proof of "Spirit" and the true nature of the Spirit you could ever ask for...
@sp3xs its okay, you have yet to achieve the knowledge necessary to find him. But rest assured he is there. If you want to find him. Read the works of Philosophy Robin Collins and then reflect on the metaphysics of this world and how unreal our reality is. Then you will find that he must exist and actually has great influence over our existence.
@RelativistSlayer How is "knowledge" relevant to finding God when we're talking about a omnipotent being whose existence has not been clarified by any humane or "earthly" means and requires only faith, which in turn is a single reality that is able to be manufactured by a man's mind.
@sp3xs He doesn't owe you or me answers. But be still and know that He is God and when He thinks your ready to hear what He has to say, you will know.
@facturedesign Is God opening up any vacancies soon? "God", I'd love to be able to exist and have people trust me, love me and care and pray to me without having to show responsibility for my actions, be confronted with my "faults" or the fact that I never have to apoligize or explain myself to my "creations", for though they have simple minds, I'm sure they'll understand it, somehow.
@sp3xs The scientific mind needs things to be shown to them. I feel so bad for you. Just because you cant see hear touch taste or smell something does not mean it does not exsist. The proof that god is real is that you are real. You were created by a supreme being.. God bless you!
I do not believe in a deity. However, I do not offend them, so for those of you who do not believe in a higher power please keep your ideologies to yourself, and stop bothering people. For those of you who have faith in whoever God please do not preach to those who are non believers you will just start a fight and insults will appear. Everyone to their own bussiness.
did anyone notice when the old man places the bible in its place there are two big big books near it? The tanach which is the Jewish bible and the Qoran...and between those the Holy Bible.....doesnt matter what religion you are..God is real.
@boonie 1994 you are both missing the point an you especially are you call him a bloodthirsty fascist for no reason plus you really should rethink you're beliefs
This movie wasn't really about the book at all. It was about a man following after God with all that was in him. Carnegie thought that it was all about the book. That is why he was so obsessed with possessing the book. Carnegie wanted to use the book to gain power while Eli just walked in simple obedience to the Spirit of God. Seek God"...if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him."
I put off watching this. The Lord kept bringing it to my attention until I did.
I don't know... I thought it was about both... this man's walk, and preserving the book for those who would value it for more than a control mechanism...
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. "
I hear ya. But I think that if you were to look it up you would find that, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the (spoken) word of God. "
word = rhema = utterance
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God is still speaking, uttering, commanding. We better start hearing.
I hear ya, right back... but it seems you have an issue with the written word, maybe I'm wrong. You say God is still speaking, yes, but not in the way that established the scriptures (the very scriptures that are STILL being fulfilled IE the return of Israel into the land etc.) We must be careful NOT to diminish God's word by compartmentalizing it into something less definite (like the spoken rather than written word it is/was/ will be ONE) Psa.138:2, Psa 12:6,7, Rev 22:19 etc.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
@shaneymane15 I never said that it was a religion, and the word should be capitalized. Type it lowercase into Google and all the results are in uppercase.
@boonie1994 I didn't say you said was a religion. What I said was it is not a religion, therefore the word should not be capitalize. And I've been through grammar school, I don't need to Google anything. Whatever you searched was misleading, the word atheist is not to be capitalized unless used at the beginning of a sentence. Everyone knows that.
i havent seen the movie so can someone tell me that did Eli die in the end? and is this video a scene from the movie or is this edited from different scenes?
@bagofbarn well you thought wrong and you immediately start telling me lies? i watched the movie after my first comment. you probably got some kind of orgasm every time you posted my a false comment...
@BeppeOwnage I did actually. I have a very miserable life and I try to find joy any way I can, even if that means humiliating others. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I go online to find joy to off set the misery I face off line. A lousy wife, kids who don't respect me as a man or father, and a job where I am under appreciated. Please accept my apology and take pity on a sad sad man.
Denzel Washington hands down did an amazing job on this movie, it is very influential, i had lost touch with god previously about a year ago and then i saw this, but just watching this movie alone has helped me believe again even more than ever in god, cant explain how but it has, god just works in mysterious ways.
@TenacityQ Religions walk on the coat tails of GOD's Word but never walking with Him.Using His Word for control over others it's the whore of Babylon just like the bad guy wanted control.If we read Hebrews 8 it tells us how the new covanant is to be and it contradicts the church and Babylon system completely.
@TenacityQ This was just a movie, and I like the religious imagery. But remember, God's existence is implausible at best. Just because you feel something to be true does not make it so. Did you believe in Santa Claus? Isn't God just a more elusive version of that? We don't need a god to explain existence, love, life, or the mysteries of the universe. The existence of God would undermine the idea of free will and therefore morality. Love your neighbor, turn the other cheek, but do it for others.
I would rather take my chances believing in God. How sad it would be to have not believed in all these years and then waking to your last breath with God shining upon your face. What then?
@xCmOn3yx2 It needn't kill the movie. Eli himself was a Christian, but the movie was about the strength of faith in general. About using the power of belief for good.
Any faith may be used this way by men of good will, just as any "good" faith, even Christianity, may be abused by men of evil. We choose our own destinies.
Don't let that message be lost in the dispute between faiths. :)
I understand- just remember,God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick. That wasn't Eli's idea,the book people were more imterested in restoring knowledge in&of itself,not necessarily loyalty to the Word,per se. . The movie was full of conflicting motivations- there were many contrasts as well. Lombardi(the Curator) saw the Book, Carnegie saw the Power.... Eli sought the Purity. I'll say this portion was my favorite part, in spite of the Koran issue- which did grieve me.
Reality is just a perspective...What a Hindu sees as reality is different to what a Christian sees as reality...And what a blind person sees as reality is different to what a non-blind person sees as reality..
My friend...I do believe it is you that doesen't know what reality is...But I should of expected your level of low intelligence from a religious person...
Reality may be a perspective, but it isn't necessary to go about putting down people. And contrary to your belief, there is an alarmingly high number of very well educated religious people. People keep playing that obsolete stereotype, and it can't be farther from the truth.
And guess what...Im not going after religious people....Did I say there are uneducated religious people? No...You thought that...How average of you...You are what I have come to expect of a religious person...You don't even know what you are saying..
Yes, and the movie in question has a definite theme...God, Man, The Bible, Religion (control mechanism? or sincere belief?)...
Reality exists as an absolute. Only one's perspective is subjective. How closely one's opinions about the truth represent truth itself it precisely the subject of this conversation.
Like the old sanskrit saying goes... "Men sit in a circle and talk about truth, while the truth sits in the center, and KNOWS."
One of the best scenes of the movie. It proves that God is powerful and if you have faith in him he can make you be able to move on. Even in hard times.
Tell me if I'm wrong but at 3:08 those are beat head phones. (BEAT HEAD PHONES)

Do they have a version of this scene with him talking?
CarneyAsada101 11 months ago
@CarneyAsada101
I'm not sure if you mean this but for some reason it plays with voice only,no music,
whenever I watch it on my iPhone.
This is the only video I have seen do this on Youtube.
If I use Wi-Fi on the phone the music will play,though.
So,if you want to hear voice without music,try using an iPhone on standard connection.
Maybe it will work for you.
I have no idea why,though but I am serious.

I was using my iPhone i think. but i have found other videos on youtube where he is talking, but it doesnt say the same thing that he said when i watched it on tv, so what i saw on tv must have been the longer version? idk, but i like that way better

I have discovered that I merely have to open my eyes in the morning and see the clouds or the sunny sky and hear the birds in the air and the sound of my children at my feet to recognize that I am here by intelligent design. When I sought out God with all of my heart, He made himself very apparent to me. I would suggest that you could try seeking Him out with all that is in you and see if you don't find the evidence of His existence that you need.

@TenacityQ I chuckled at the intelligent design part. It's one thing to have faith in a spiritual God, and I have no qualms with this. It's another to rationalize your reality to fit what's inside of the Bible.
blackUP2424 3 months ago
@TenacityQ Yes. Let us ignore the countless billions that died, the fact that we use the same pipe to swallow and breathe, the fact that the Andromeda galaxy is heading straight on a collision course with our galaxy, the countless billions killed in the Bible, the countless evil deads carried out in the Bible, the fact that God has done nothing to stop evil dictators from doing what they do, the fact that God has killed more than Satan. Let's ignore all that and smell the flowers, hmm? :)
notessimodude 2 weeks ago
@notessimodude God has done nothing to stop evil dictators? All humans are given personal choice to live how they want. So those who choose to live sinfully can or live by God's love.Our flesh and the enemy attempt to make us choose sin and make it seem like the right choic, but (with our free choice) when we choose God's way we can live by our spirit and the love of the father to help us realized the falso illusion that sin is and live in Him. So dont blame God for bad things ppl do

@92886beach So basically God is useless in that he chooses not to save the righteous and kill the evil? God is an asshole with all the power but no will to use any of it.
notessimodude 3 days ago
@notessimodude He is "useless" and an "asshole" because he brings justice to the righteous by giving them eternal life with them? Sorry you feel this way, I pray that God will show you his love to reveal the meaning of life :)
92886beach 3 days ago
@92886beach Justice and eternal life to the righteous? What about a wife whose "righteous" husband dies? She could kill herself and possibly go to Hell for suicide, even if she was Christian. Here's a question for you. If a devout Christian and I lead an equally moral life and only commit bad deeds as much as the other, does one really deserve Hell and the other Heaven? Just because he chose to follow one religion and I none?
notessimodude 2 days ago
@notessimodude Well its not about "doing enough" to get in heaven or doing "bad sins" to be punished in hell. It's about the inward posture of the persons heart rather than just what the person has done since we all sin constanly.Things that we do can be a good measure of where our heart is. We either serve Satan through sin or God in love and will end up with the one we serve .Jesus sacrificed himself for all sin so through faith we can be completely cleansed from all sin through repentance

@TSGhost You're not sticking to the scenario. Answer the question. If me and a devout Christian both lead an equally excellent life, do I deserve to burn in Hell for being an atheist? If you don't answer yes or no, I'm ending this conversation.
notessimodude 1 day ago
@notessimodude I suppose the simple answer to your question is: no. But it is more complicated than that. It may depend on whether or not you are truly sorry(and ask for forgiveness) for any wrong you may have done in your life, at or before the time of judgement.
TSGhost 22 hours ago
@TSGhost What if I ask for forgiveness from the people I've done wrong rather than God? Will you send me to Hell then? Yes or no.
notessimodude 16 hours ago
@notessimodude No, but it is possible to do harm to yourself. Then to whom would you seek forgiveness?
TSGhost 9 hours ago
@TSGhost I'm glad you said no. That makes you an intelligent person, congratulations. But we still have some work to do. So let's say God doesn't send me to Hell, and he doesn't send the Christian there either. So tell me this, and answer clearly, please. If both an atheist and a Christian can get into Heaven, then what's the point of the Bible's message?
notessimodude 2 hours ago
@notessimodude As is said in the movie, "Do for others more than you do for yourself." The golden rule. Pride is one of the biggest obstacles in doing this. Some(not all) Christians think it's their way or the highway. Athiests(some, not all) are convinced there is no god, and put down those that believe. Both are results of pride.
TSGhost 1 minute ago
@notessimodude It's not for us to judge who goes to heaven or hell. But all I can say to that is God's grace is greater than sin. The person next to Jesus on one of the other crosses was a murderer but yet minutes before he died Jesus showed him grace and went to heaven. And also someone who truely loves God is not going to flip him off
92886beach 1 day ago
@92886beach Answer me. Yes or no. If YOU were God, and I did the exact same things a Christian did in his lifetime, would YOU send me to burn in Hell forever?
notessimodude 1 day ago
@notessimodude Again, its not all about what a person does, its about the person's heart. And being a "christian" doesn't necessarilly validate anything. I know plently who call themselves one thing and are far from it. And also I will never be God so that's far from a realistic question. But here is the answer - If YOU have given your life to Jesus then YES YOU will go to heaven for sure. Thats the only 100% way to know for sure and I like those odds.

This movie wasn't really about the book at all. It was about a man following after God with all that was in him. Carnegie thought that it was all about the book. That is why he was so obsessed with possessing the book. Carnegie wanted to use the book to gain power while Eli just walked in simple obedience to the Spirit of God. Seek God"...if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him."
I put off watching this. The Lord kept bringing it to my attention until I did.

I hear ya. But I think that if you were to look it up you would find that, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the (spoken) word of God. "
word = rhema = utterance
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God is still speaking, uttering, commanding. We better start hearing.

@TenacityQ
I hear ya, right back... but it seems you have an issue with the written word, maybe I'm wrong. You say God is still speaking, yes, but not in the way that established the scriptures (the very scriptures that are STILL being fulfilled IE the return of Israel into the land etc.) We must be careful NOT to diminish God's word by compartmentalizing it into something less definite (like the spoken rather than written word it is/was/ will be ONE) Psa.138:2, Psa 12:6,7, Rev 22:19 etc.

I loved the way he just kept on trusting God and following what the Spirit of God was directing him to do.
He was not religious but he knew the reality of a relationship with God.
I also appreciated the way the bad guy was portrayed; He saw the bible and religion as a way to gain control of weak minded followers.
Eli was a man humbly and obediently walking with God and loving a lost humanity. Nothing else was nearly as important to him. He knew God in reality.

@TenacityQ Religions walk on the coat tails of GOD's Word but never walking with Him.Using His Word for control over others it's the whore of Babylon just like the bad guy wanted control.If we read Hebrews 8 it tells us how the new covanant is to be and it contradicts the church and Babylon system completely.

@TenacityQ This was just a movie, and I like the religious imagery. But remember, God's existence is implausible at best. Just because you feel something to be true does not make it so. Did you believe in Santa Claus? Isn't God just a more elusive version of that? We don't need a god to explain existence, love, life, or the mysteries of the universe. The existence of God would undermine the idea of free will and therefore morality. Love your neighbor, turn the other cheek, but do it for others.

Any faith may be used this way by men of good will, just as any "good" faith, even Christianity, may be abused by men of evil. We choose our own destinies.

Yes, and the movie in question has a definite theme...God, Man, The Bible, Religion (control mechanism? or sincere belief?)...
Reality exists as an absolute. Only one's perspective is subjective. How closely one's opinions about the truth represent truth itself it precisely the subject of this conversation.
Like the old sanskrit saying goes... "Men sit in a circle and talk about truth, while the truth sits in the center, and KNOWS."
