Inspired by the movie "the chosen One" Netflix

[Mr. Ed]

Boy is born under unusual circumstances, immaculate conception. Boy grows finds he has super powers, healing etc. Mother is silent about father, tries to protect her son by hiding the truth. Finally the boy, desperate for answers is consoled by mother but nothing solid until explanations must be made to protect boy.

What if you were that boy? Fans and admirers follow you around to get a glimpse of the marvelous healing miracle=s you perform. You are important, everyone loves you but you have enemies who will cause you harm. The story is similar to the story of Jesus Spanish version with modern setting.

A mysterious limousine pulls beside you and you get in. There is a women sitting beside you, changing identities before your eyes. She tells you you are about to meet your father, who you assume, because you're a good person your father's identity is godly. Instead you find out you are the son of Satan and the good you did were steps for achiever your rightful place as Satan's son.

Do you deny your heritage and rebuke your father's evil ways or follow in dad's footsteps as a bad guy?

You turn off the TV.
That is one evil scenario you don't want to filter into your mind, body, and soul because it will be there forever. Protect your mind and fill it with less evil. One day you will be grateful you did. Avoid anything satanic....it's really creepy...and it's no joke.

I think that we're all grown up enough here to choose whether or not to watch it (I don't have Netflix) or not. It is fantasy, not a documentary.

 

[Lara]

Fair enough. I choose not to let Satan in.
I was just reaching out to save someone's happiness
from being compromised by Satanic "fantasy" aka realism
leaving a forever disturbing impression on their brain.
Not necessarily the OP's but anyone

I'm always open to fantasy as long as it's good story telling. Witches, sorcerers, Gods, Titans, UFOs, zombies, and alien invasions make interesting stories if well written. Satan is not my favorite character, but he makes a fine antagonist sometimes. The original Exorcist movie was a wonderful piece of story telling, but it's been done to death now.

As an atheist parent, I strongly taught my son that anyone praising Satanic ways is a person who must be avoided; that they are channeling evil and that's never a good thing; always a bad thing.

This morning my wife said I was evil/dark, but have a good character. She went on to say she believes I am saved even though I do not support Christianity or the Bible.

Looking back, I ask myself how I got here and how might I return to the original garden, given how I feel about Christianity. I grew up Christian so I don't know of any other denominations or sects that worship god differently than Christian dogma. Is it wrong to scrutinize religion? How do you commit your life to Jesus when the entire foundation of Christianity is on belief by faith alone?

I am having EMDR treatments (mental health) to overcome a childhood traumatic event instigated by my dad. A Southern Baptist preacher who abandoned my bothers and me for the praise of church and community. He was a coward and a child who could not be home because my mother made him feel like a child and he couldn't stand up to her. Consequently he would leave the house early in the morning and return late at night so as to avoid interaction with my brothers and me.

Life gets messy when a parent is dysfunctional and does not realize they damage they do. equally distressing is the parent who protects and defends the action of the dysfunctional parent. Add in the church where my dad got his strokes of admiration, power and position. No wonder her preferred praise from the community over the vulnerability of home.

I enjoy watching dark movies but not slasher films and I try to avoid movies like the chosen one or other satan type films. I believe we are what we eat and what we participate in becomes our own.

I rarely watch movies that have the "good vs. evil" theme. It is so predictable and melodramatic. I would rather watch some documentaries, some romantic comedy, and movies that are current and low budget ( independent films ).

So sorry your father did such a bad job of parenting for you and your brothers. I've known people like that who seem to need constant admiration and power, and while your father sought it from the church, others get it from teaching, or from business management positions. I even knew one man who had to gamble every night because he thought everyone at the casino admired him as a high roller.

All fantasy, whether it's horror films about satan, comic book heroes, or Harry Potter, just seem like children's stories to me. These days I watch, almost exclusively, old dramas from the 1930's and 40's. They tend to have believable stories where the good people prevail.

I agree with Lara and Pepper, that we should be careful what we put in our heads.

@Mr. Ed Thank you for trusting us with this sensitive subject you have experienced in your past. It's good to scrutinize religion. Scripture even encourages that. It says in 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" because how else can we choose what to believe without learning the truth and having the knowledge to base it on.

You're on the right track, continue to search for truth, but don't be evil nor allow evil to tempt you. Evil is only out to destroy you. Stay strong. Knowledge will build your faith however you choose...it will strengthen you if you just don't choose evil.

I believe the Holy Spirit, our Helper, is with you because it's so obvious from your many threads on the same subject of Faith. He is leading you to search for truth. You're going to be okay because He hasn't given up on you. He won't because He knows you want to come back. But He will if you continue to choose evil. You are loved. I can tell. So hang in there. When you decide Joy will fill your emptiness.

I'm sorry to read of your dysfunctional upbringing. Your Dad was also a victim of your mother's verbal abuse. She made him weak so He ran to seek shelter and to help others in his church. Is He still alive?

Both parents are deceased.

Well, you can't confirm my thoughts with your father then. I was just wondering if maybe your father was forced to leave by your mother's verbal abuse and maybe even threatened by her that left him reduced to being too weak to stand up to her ever again. And fearful of what she might do, which affected staying in touch with you because he would have contact with her then.

He may also have felt ashamed for being weak and fearful of what she may do. I'm not excusing his behavior, Mr. Ed , but what I'm getting at is that I think he loved you and your brothers but was controlled by your mother to stay away. I'm hoping you can find some peace in knowing that he loved you.

I don't want you to suffer so. I know it's impossible to erase what's been done but just know your earthly father loved you and so does your heavenly Father. You're not alone.
