Is this meant to be anti religious film?


I found it fascinating how the most reasonable and least annoying character in the film turns out to be rebellious one who worships Satan etc. whilst the others who cause the most conflicts are the uber Puritan Christian fundamentalist types. No wonder so many Satanists endorsed this movie...

What do you mean? The conflict started when the witch kidnapped and killed their infant son.

Pseudo-liberal "feminist" icons like Lena Dunham, Katy Perry and the rest of their trolling ill actually consider the witch in this movie as the hero, a symbol of woman's liberation over the society of men, rather than as the baby murdering serial killer that she is.

These are the scumbags that are actually promoting late-term abortion simply for the sake of abortion as a social trend among young girls as part of attaining credibility as feminist agitators, i.e. "You'll never be a real feminist until you get yourself knocked up and then abort the little bastard as soon as the sex of the fetus can be determined."

Are you seriously suggesting that women take pleasure or feel esteemed in aborting their unborn child?

reply

That's what most anti-abortionists like to think lol. That's why they're psychotic!

"That's what most anti-abortionists like to think lol. That's why they're psychotic!"

Of course, because it doesn't get any more psychotic than supporting a child's right to life over a pregnant woman's "right" to dispose of her child for whatever reason she sees fit.

sweetheart, you are so naive and idealistic. abortions are going to happen EITHER WAY. and its best to have them done safely and in the open rather than keep it in the shadows with crooked "doctors" using coathangers.
even in ancient rome there were piles of fetal and much larger infant skeletons at whorehouses.

There was a "shout your abortion" hashtag going on Twitter last year where thousands of women were quite literally bragging about their past abortions.

I've had women outright brag to me about it on numerous occasions, just had a woman tell me the other day, "I've had one, best thing I ever did (and those were indeed her exact words)."

For all the rhetoric from the 'pro-choice' crowd that's meant to make abortion sound more sympathetic, there are plenty of women out there there that will openly tell you that they have no problem with it.

Sounds like most fundamental christians.

"Sounds like most fundamental christians."

Fundamentalist Christians don't get to see "whatever they choose to see." They have an objective sense of right and wrong based upon a divine creator.

Secularists on the other hand believe in moral relativity. Without anyone to objectively determine right from wrong, they can be anything to anybody. Right and wrong essentially have no real meaning if there is no higher power to define them beyond subjective human preferences. Hence secularists just see whatever they choose to see.

Even butchering children in droves can be justified by calling it "pro-choice." Opposing legalized mass child murder can be vilified by deeming it "anti-choice."

More of an anti-hallucinatory, ergot-spiked corn film, really.

reply

Ergot doesn't grow on corn, only on rye.

Perhaps they had a stash of founding father's LSD then. Or perhaps (dramatic swelling chord) IT WAS ALL REAL!

reply

Short answer: NO.

If anything, the only ā€œargumentsā€ Iā€™ve seen are from ultra conservative Christians who are working themselves up over nothing.

reply

I don't think so.

I think people put their own prejudice on either the parents or Thomasin
