I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as… animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.
— the character Father Merrin from The Exorcist during the battle with the devil. This is why I love this movie. It portrays our major battle as humans — the journey of becoming like God and knowing God’s love and loving ourselves. And this is the goal behind evil religions: to convince women, gays and any minority that we are ugly and unworthy to live and unworthy to be alive and unworthy to be EQUAL.
