      Just because someone can read braille doesn't mean they're blind. He wasn't blind. He looked down on the bikers from the bridge. Saw the mouse. It was part of him, his disguise, not letting anyone else be able to use the book if found. - it being in braille

      ​@@joeblow8206actually he heard the bikers and he heard the mouse, just like he heard the buzzard before he saw it. Also, it's how he sniffed out the bandits; his other senses have grown to compensate for the loss of his eye sight. Look at the placement of his head when he fights, it's almost stationary.

    Also most people ignore the irony that he didn't need the book at all because he has it memorized, and understood. The villain only needed it because he didn't know it and didn't live like a Christian, only needed it for control. Kind of an important lesson of actions vs words.

    While I still enjoyed the twist of him being blind, my dad and I caught on very early he was blind. When he found the dead guy in the closet, the way he acted and moved kinda of hinted at it. There were some other small hints along the way also. None the less the reveal was still great. Though working with the blind myself, we assume maybe Eli may have been legally blind, but perhaps he could still see light and shadows just enough to work out the world around him. Since the flash from the war caused it. Where as someone who has no eyes wouldn't even see shadows or light or anything. Thus surviving may be even harder.

    Carnegie IS NOT stupid.
    He's trapped and desperate.
    Carnegie maintains control of his minions with promises of UNNAMED rewards. And those promises are starting to wear thin.
    Look at Carnegie's interactions with his minions. When the minion comes back with a bag of books, he's very frustrated the bible is not one of them. Because of this, he's not getting the unnamed reward. But then Carnegie gives a small reward, and the minion is ecstatic.
    Now, look at Carnegie and Redridge (his lieutenant). When they make a deal for the bible, Redridge specifies that the reward will be Solara. He's smart enough to know those unnamed rewards are paltry.
    Unfortunately for Carnegie, this a post-apocalyptic world with extreme scarcity. There just aren't a whole lot of rewards to be handing out.
    Throughout history, this situation typically led to pillaging your neighbors to get plunder for your minions. I'm sure Carnegie would do it if he had enough men to be certain of the outcome.
    So, here's a guy who is running out of rewards to give, and can't pillage his neighbors. Carnegie is persuasive, but he does not inspire people.
    But, there was something that once inspired people. The Christian bible.
    Carnegie doesn't want that bible. He NEEDS it.
    With that bible, he wouldn't need physical force to take over a town. He just needs to parrot the right words from the bible to control the people. And if he's lucky, some of his minions might also be inspired.
    There are clues in the film suggesting that Carnegie only has a vague understanding of the bible. He knows that the bible inspired people to do great and terrible things, but he seems fixated on getting the right words to inspire (control) people.
    I won't go into it because I'm trying to get out of the habit of writing RUclips essays.

    The one plot point in this film that REALLY bothers me is that the book being in braille shouldn't matter to the main antagonist. There are only 26 letters in the alphabet, you could use inference to translate the braille into the regular alphabet relatively simply, especially if you had nothing else to focus your time on.
    First you identify vowels using one letter words like "I" or "A", then move on to two letter words like "To" or "Is" to lock in vowels /and/ consonants, and slowly work forwards. A smart person could easily crack it in within a waking day.

    Book of Eli to me is very much akin to the Zatoichi films, where a blind swordsman disguised as a nobody gets involved with the petty troubles of a random settlement. Only in this they kind of play on the idea of the possibility of divine protection. You can actually see all the tells of Eli's disability right from the beginning, like when he opened the cabinet and didn't react in seeing the corpse that was inside, and the fact that he can bump into things or wasn't able to read the sign that was right in front of the old couple's home. It's such a well world built movie. Even the scope of the 'flash' nuclear fallout, it had only got into certain radii. Like who knows if there were other places that weren't destroyed by the 'flash'. And I love that they didn't explain it any further.

    Brilliant part:
    Yeah he only shot after he was shot at to hear the direction, and he did not notice the gun pointing at him without firing until it was too late when it all quited down. His expression looked like a moment of doubt like "did I do something wrong? am i no longer protected?"
    He swung the blades around without even looking at his opponents' direction, when one-on-one he hesitates then swings wide in the general direction until he gets a grip on the chainsaw guy right in front of him.
    Not making sense part:
    Yeah Gary Oldman's character could've easily just made stuff up and pretended he had a book or Devine guidance; the young generation can't read and never even heard of a Bible or a prayer before, and the old generation who knows would be too scared of his goons to challenge him over it.

    The thing that got me with this movie is that Gary Oldman wanted the Bible to dominate over people so when he got injured, although his wound was minor (compared to Eli's wound), it festered. Solara"s mom told him she could smell it rotting. That's because he was evil. Eli's wound was in the stomach. That kind of wound gets infected fast, is very painful, and kills you very slowly but Eli cleaned it with the KFC wipes and it healed. They both had faith in the Bible but Gary Oldman was punished for trying to use it for evil.

    “As an atheist, my argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got to this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
    -CS Lewis
    Evil cannot exist without good, and good cannot exist without God.
    An analogy: The shadows prove the sunshine.
    In order to have shadows you have to have sunshine. In other words, in order to have evil you have to have good. Yes, you can have sunshine without shadows. You can have good without evil, but you can’t have shadows without sunshine. You can’t have evil without good. This might sound counterintuitive but if evil exists (and it does) then God exists.
    God isn’t doing evil because He is the standard of good by which we’d even know what evil was. Evil DOESN’T disprove God.
    Now, you can ask the question, “why would God allow it to continue?” That’s another question with another answer. But what we can’t say is that it disproves him. Nothing would be evil unless God existed because he is the standard of good.
    Gods nature is morality. It’s true North.
    Well the concept of morality is a positive concept. Not a negative one. Satan is a fallen Angel. In other words, evil can’t exist unless good exists. Evil is a privation in good.
    In other words, people say there’s too much evil in the world. But I would then ask them, what do they mean by evil?
    Because they will have a difficult time explaining what evil is without referring to good.
    Evil is like cancer. If you take all the cancer out of a good body you have a better body. What happens if you try to take all the body out of the cancer? It doesn’t exist. It can’t exist.
    Evil is like rust in a car. If you take all the rust out of the car you have a better car. If you try to take all the car out of the rust, what do you have? Nothing because it doesn’t exist. Just a rust spot on the pavement.
    Evil is like rot in a tree. If you take all the rot out of a tree, you have a better tree. If you try to take the tree out of the rot, what do you have? Nothing because rot doesn’t exist on its own.
    Evil is a moth eaten garment. You have holes in the garment. What’s a completely moth eaten garment? Nothing!
    In other words evil can ONLY exist as a parasite in good things. So ultimate reality can’t be evil. Ultimate reality can only be good.
    This is why C.S. Lewis and his book “Mere Christianity” points this out. He says Strict Dualism can’t be true. What is strict dualism? There are equal and opposite forces. A good force and evil force. Or the Yin Yang you see in the new age. That can’t be ultimate reality. Because the bad force HAS to borrow from the good force to even exist.
    In order for Satan to exist he has to have “Being” which is GOOD. He has to have free will which is good. In fact, Satan metaphysically is GOOD. Because he has these QUALITIES. He has mind, emotion and will. And in order for him to do evil, he has to have those good qualities.
    But you can’t imagine a “completely evil thing”. It doesn’t exist. It has to BORROW or STEAL from good. So ultimate reality is good! And that’s how one way we KNOW God is the source of goodness. He is ultimate reality. It’s not arbitrary because He is the standard of goodness.

      Except that there has never been a single, universal agreement on what “goodness” is. It’s always defined by different cultures depending on their place and time.
      Not to mention there are hundreds of world religions, each with a distinct god and a distinct morality. CS Lewis is only referring to Christianity but his entire argument (which is not a new one btw) falls apart when you take into account the multitude of theologies.
      Tautological arguments like “there is good and evil and I’m choosing to equate good with God” are fallacious right down to their core.
      Not trying to convert you to atheism or anything, you do you. But nothing you or CS Lewis wrote here are valid, rational proofs of God’s existence. People have tried for centuries to make this argument work and it never has, never will.

      @jakey3887 Год назад

      @@ghani666 Atheists think morality is subjective
      Question: If morality is derived from God, then how do you account for different standards of morality among different countries and civilizations and over different periods of time?
      CS Lewis investigated that very question quite well in his book, “The Abolition of Man”. Where he says, “Although there are differences among the periphery, all major civilizations have agreed on an essential moral code. You can’t think of a society where it was considered good that you double-crossed all the people kindest to you. Or that you ran away from your friends in battle. You might as well think of a place where 2+2=5. You will not find a culture like that.” The argument for reality doesn’t require human agreement. If everybody disagreed with morality, that wouldn’t mean that reality is somehow subjective.
      Imagine the Nazi’s had won WW2 and took over the entire world and convinced everybody that murdering Jews was a good thing. Would that make it a good thing? Of course not, right? Because there is a standard beyond us. If we have morality wrong, that’s not God’s fault. That’s our fault. See, that would be more sociology rather than morality and how people behave. We’re talking about a standard even if we disagree with the standard it still exists.
      So an atheist might say that, “sure, maybe there is a God who sets specific moral standards, but that ultimately means nothing if that’s not how people view society.”
      Well, no because people have their free will to say that, “we are not going to follow the moral code.” We can use abortion as an example. An atheist knows and I know that if we saw a live baby being dismembered, we would immediately understand intuitively that’s wrong. However, people will choose to suppress the truth about that because we want the convenience of not having a child in our lives. And we can absolutely suppress the truth. We all suppress the truth. It’s not a matter of our cognition. It’s a matter of our resistance to the implications of what the right thing is. We understand dismembering babies is wrong. But we may suppress that so we can have the convenience of getting someone out of our lives we don’t want in our lives.
      Now an atheist might be wondering, if we have this objective standard of morality set for us by God, but does that mean anything here on earth if that’s not how “certain people” live and that’s not how “certain people” view morality? Does it matter what’s more “relevant” to us?
      Just like the example of the Nazi’s given. That without a God we can’t prove that what the Nazi’s did were evil. Do we still know Nazi’s were evil because we all collectively agree that what they did is bad? So does a standard of morality absolutely exist “just because” we agree that it exists without God?
      This is where atheists repeatedly contradict themselves in this topic of conversation.
      So if an atheist thinks if the Nazi’s had won and convinced everybody that murdering Jews was right, an atheist would still admit that would still be wrong even if everyone collectively agreed it was right.
      We are not talking about a hypothetical world here. If everyone in that historical situation agreed it was right, the atheist today would claim they still know it’s wrong because they accept these societal standards of morality within our life and the real world.
      But…the societal standard was to murder Jews! In the “real world”.
      No the Nazi’s did not win. They did not convince everyone on the planet that what they did was right. But is that because everyone agrees that murder is bad and mass murder is bad?
      So atheists believe regardless whether there is a God or not, there can’t be such things as “standards of morality” set by God because it’s ultimately what we agree it to be and what we agree it to be can change and can be wrong.
      This is what atheists do over and over. They go back and forth on what they say. That’s the problem. Here’s what I mean…
      An atheist will say today that the Nazi’s would be wrong EVEN IF EVERYBODY AGREED that what they were doing was right. So if an atheist is saying this from their personal perspective of their own lives, then that would just be an atheists subjective opinion. Atheists truly think that morality is based on everyone’s own opinion. A “societal opinion” so to speak.
      Well…if it’s just an opinion then the Nazi’s weren’t REALLY wrong. But the atheist will still say they were wrong because we all agree they were wrong.
      Well…if the the Nazi’s weren’t really wrong because the standard is just human opinion, and so if everybody and all of humanity decides murdering Jews is right, then an atheist is going to say that’s ok, right? If an atheist will disagree with that, then they are contradicting their premise.
      This is actually very simple.
      Either each society decides what’s right and makes up their own laws based on their own subjective morality agreed upon by a majority, and no society can judge another society based on everything being an opinion.
      OR
      There’s a standard beyond ALL societies that is right and we are all required to adhere to and therefore you can judge societies by that standard. Whether we agree or acknowledge that standard or not.
      So which view makes more sense?
      Atheists might claim that no human being really knows if that “objective standard” absolutely exists in this life?
      So an atheist will say that everybody agreed that murder is wrong and therefore mass murder is wrong. But then that same atheist will then say that people can’t agree what’s right or wrong. Do we see what’s happening here now?
      So which is it?
      An atheist believes we can’t know for certain if there is a God and what that God believes to be right and wrong. They believe it’s impossible to know in this lifetime. So they will just stick to morality coming down to what people agree it to be.
      Sure atheists and theists agree on some core issues of morality. But atheists think we can still debate certain aspects of it. Unfortunately that is not true.
      Providing a “defense” or giving an “answer” for one’s hope is based on the Greek word apologian, which carries the idea of “defending” something as a lawyer would defend his case in court. From the Greek word comes the English apologetics, “the discipline of defending” the Christian faith. Notice that Peter does not say that the job of giving an answer is only for the pastor or professional apologist (1 Peter 3:15). All Christians need to be prepared to give an answer or defense when someone asks them the reason for the hope that they have.

      Atheist: The Abrahamic God cannot exist because it wasn’t the first God to be created. There are other Gods that have been proclaimed to exist before this God and after this God. They can’t all be true so if we can deny the existence of one of these gods, we can use the same method to deny them all.
      But what’s the problem with this?
      If this is a good argument against God, then it’s a good argument against science as well. Since older, false concepts are often replaced by newer true concepts. Based on an atheists logic, since the older geocentric view is false, we can just deny the newer heliocentric view by the same method. Of course this is silly! You should weigh the evidence for each theory and for each God. Another non-sequitur on the board!
