Father is the creator?


At first, I was annoyed by the father android's incompetence of taking care of the family. Later I realized that faults are what make us human. Perhaps the Creator was not 100% certain about the mother, so he implanted his consciousness in the father to keep eyes on her. Would that make sense?

Hmm, nice idea, father is a good character, and after watching episode 5 we had a chance to view their creator, I hope we see him from fathers perspective later on.

It's really becoming a mystery how much the creator is still present as a "virus". I am also wondering if the "God" Sol is another virus-like entity that can spread without the aid of technology. I like the idea that gods and religions can be viewed as a disease that atheists have become immune to.

reply

immune? we literally see the atheist fully embracing the mithraic religion.

reply

Haha I was just thinking about how I would explain that... My theory is that he is not a true atheist because he was an orphan made to be an atheist. He was not allowed to explore religion and come to the atheist standpoint by learning to apply skepticism

Are you implying that religion/atheism is a matter of genetics?

I don't buy it.

reply

Nah I don't buy it ether. I was just taking the metaphor too far. But I stand behind the conclusion that him being forced into atheism was just as bad as being forced into religion. The show really demonstrates how it's best that every child/human must decide their own beliefs when reaching the age that they can think for themselves.
Are you excited for the new season or have you had enough?

reply

Neither, more like ... curious
