Been watching “Constantine” this evening. Utter rubbish theologically. But strangely compelling.
There is a scene that I thought both interesting and illustrative. Angela wants to see what her twin sister saw. So Constantine has her get into a bathtub filled with water. And submerge herself entirely. This makes her nervous. How long will she have to stay under the water?
“As long as it takes” replies Constantine.
He gently places his hand upon her chest. She waits for something to happen. She waits. And she waits. Eventually she becomes concerned. He does not remove his hand. She tries to get out of the water. He holds her down. She begins to fight him. Despite her now desperate struggles he continues to hold her under the water.
Is this how it works? He holds her down until she drowns? And only then she sees what her sister saw?
Actually no. The scene ends differently. But here is the point.
At the same time I was browsing around on my computer and somehow ended up at “Washington Rebel” which is not entirely easy to understand but if you get past some of the occasional strange pictures is one of the more interesting conservative blogs I have seen. Several items attempt to analyze what is happening in the United States and the very real danger we are in.
Which brings me back to “Constantine”.
I wonder if we have been under the water for quite some time. And that hand upon our chest no longer feels quite so gentle or benign.
