DON’T BREATHE, God, and Morality

February 13th, 2017 by admin | Posted in ethics, horror, morality, nihilism, philosophy

I was finally able to watch Don’t Breathe and it’s a good horror or suspense film. I was surprised to find a line touching on religion in it: “There is nothing a man cannot do once he accepts the fact that there is no god.” Whether God is needed as a transcendent ground for morality has been debated by philosophers and theologians for years. Interesting to see it pop up in a horror film. For an article by a Christian philosopher and apologist’s view on this topic see this piece, and for a contrary view see this.
