Why was the kid evil?
It's never explained.

Here be SPOILERS!!!
Because they cloned Jesus and apparently ended up with the anti-christ. Go figure.
Lethe
Was he evil? Really? What evil did he do? Brought a mouse back? Wanted to bring mommy back? Hmmmm..
shareJesus was conceived by a miraculous conception by God. David was artificially created by man through a bastardization of Jesus' blood; it's a mockery of the immaculate conception and, thereby, inherently evil. Furthermore, the book of revelations reads that the antichrist will perform miracles; so, even though they appear to be good and miraculous, they are still the work of the devil. By rejecting his offer to "save her," the mom saved her soul by rejecting satan.
shareOf course you're basing that on a 2,000 year old work of fiction, much like the movie itself, fiction
share> artificially created by man through a bastardization of Jesus' blood; it's a mockery of the immaculate conception and, thereby, inherently evil.
You are trying to combine emotion and logic and, as expected, you are making a big mess.
First off, it was not a bastardization of Jesus' blood. It literally was His blood. We saw the scientist compare the DNA in the blood to the DNA in the clone and it matched letter for letter. The clone was Jesus in all ways.
Second, it's only you that thinks that this is a mockery. In fact, the scientist wanted to bring Jesus back to earth, He wasn't mocking anything. He loved Jesus.
Third, even if it was a mockery, that doesn't magically make the kid evil or make him into the anti-christ. If I mocked you, you wouldn't instantly become evil, would you?
> Furthermore, the book of revelations reads that the antichrist will perform miracles; so, even though they appear to be good and miraculous, they are still the work of the devil.
And the rest of the Bible says that Jesus performed miracles. So, we still can't tell whether the kid was Jesus or the anti-christ, since both can perform miracles.
So, even with all your Bible-thumping and complete guesswork, there is no proof one way or the other whether this is Jesus or the anti-christ.

You and Shaun are incredibly stupid. I am not bible-thumping. The OP asked why the child is suppose to be evil. I'm bringing understanding to what the movie intended to convey to the audience by referencing biblical texts, not just my personal views. I'm answering the OP's question. If you can't wrap your head around why this child would be considered evil according to Christian doctrine, regardless of your beliefs, then you are limited and a waste of time.

Ah. I am not aware of any Biblical quotes that say that mocking Jesus will make your child evil. Or that only the anti-christ can perform miracles. Perhaps you can cite the chapter and verse where these things are mentioned.
Because, if you cannot cite chapter and verse for these things, then they are just your interpretation of the passages that are in the Bible. And that makes them your personal view.

I *AM* trying to wrap my mind around why a clone made from Jesus' blood would be considered evil by Christianity. So far, your responses provide no rational reasons why this might be so except, "Well, isn't it obvious?!"
I do understand why you would think that my questioning of your simple assumptions and personal views would make you think that I am a waste of time. Deep down, you know that religious dogma has no foundation in logic or science and that if you accepted science and logic, you'd have to loosen your tight grip on religion. Religion gives you comfort in this crazy old world and you don't want to lose that.

Like I said, I was giving a point of view that might explain the movie; I never said it was my personal opinion, I never even stated whether I was religious or not, nor did I post a response to argue. You talk about my "simple assumptions" yet you assumed alot about me with ZERO basis. You are a stupid, confrontational person and you clearly have a lot of issues. Get a life.

Forgive me, but I don't understand the distinction between "giving a point of view" and "my personal opinion."
> I never even stated whether I was religious or not
Yet, you presented your opinions as facts, which is a clear indication of someone who is a true believer.
But, what the heck, let's ask the question you seem reluctant to answer; Are you a religious person?
> You talk about my "simple assumptions" yet you assumed alot about me with ZERO basis.
My opinions of you are based on the words that you have chosen to post on a public forum.
> You are a stupid, confrontational person and you clearly have a lot of issues. Get a life.
And, I assume that you have made your rather stark opinions of me based simply on my words and "assumed alot about me with ZERO basis." Hypocrite much?

The movie's point of view, as in the point of the post.

I'm sorry you keep getting attacked by these idiots desperate to root out Christians. It was clear to the more level-headed of us that you were giving the movie's perspective as to why the boy was evil! I'm as areligious as a person can get, yet I still laugh at people who find any movie involving religion to be "propaganda."

I, for one, completely get what you're sayin'. It's what I was thinking, wondered if others saw it that way - so thanks.
shareSuriname86, I think your analysis of why David was evil is spot on. Man creating a baby from the blood of Jesus would be considered blasphemy and an abomination in the eyes of God.
Bing-57, a person doesn't have to be a believer of a particular religion or mythos in order to understand and explain its emphasis and impact. Critical thinking enables us to analyze books, movies, and films. A further example is the bastardized version of The Lord's Prayer in Sheep by Pink Floyd; it has biblical overtones, but it is a blaspheme in the eyes of Christians.
