this film -to me- explains the religious insanity of America


A vagabond (fancy term for bum) about to be executed asks the priest if hee can somehow arrange for he and his recently deceased wife/partner/accomplice to be reunited in the afterlife- "wherever" that may be. This is a guy who cheated on his wife while she was out of town and killed her husband with her blessings. So his typical juvenile religious beliefs have him in even in a "bad scenario" afterlife snuggling and smooching? He sounds like the type who are caucusing now in Iowa. Religious insanity is the norm for America. The empire will not self correct.
