White Christian Bestiality
Interesting combination of the movie The Devils, the work of Ingmar Bergman and the novel Atlas Shrugged; exploring the internecine and near-genocidal nature of the Christian religious wars of the
Unlike African wars, European ones are extremely bloody as the combatants on both sides are intent on actual extermination. The film is an atheistic look at the non-existence of God and the consequent belief of the religious in the ability to excuse their greed, murder and hypocrisy as the imagined will of that God.
This somewhat superficial film offers little in the way of solace from the charnel house of Western culture save for the claim that one should only kill those who are the most dangerous. The reason Christianity lingers in the modern age is that secular ethics offers only personal responsibility instead of blind obedience - and few wish to embrace the former when things go wrong.
Where this film really fails lies in it making the rather obvious connection between the bestiality of the past and that of today; while also never offering a valid alternative to the incessant slaughter; nor of explaining why both Western culture and Christianity should have turned out to be so equally bloodthirsty.
