Bruce Almighty
For Gods existence -- Could help explain unanswered prayers as we see what would happen if God answers everyone's prayers
- God tells Bruce we were given free will this could explain why we can make our own decisions - God brings Bruce back to life which could be seen as a miracle which could explain why other things happen in life which can't be explained by science - When Bruce is acting selflessly he has inner happiness. Selflessness and morality is a main teaching of many religious beliefs. |
Against Gods existence -- If God is meant to be all powerful ( omnipotent ) why can't he control free will ?
- The film shows God trying to carry out all his responsibilities which could make a real God trying to carry out these impossible - In the film God says he took a break from his responsibilities in the dark ages this could lead to us questioning why an all loving God would take a break from his responsibilities - If God was all powerful would't have he found a way of giving everyone what they want without saying no ? |
