Continuing from the preceding post:

Back to the meaning of that movie and how unfitting is what seems to be wide spread view for it as sending positive message about religion through its main character instead of being about the deceptiveness of the latter and the use of religion for that purpose. I don't even need to take too much from the movie to support my understanding here. Instead I think there are at least two things that seems to suggest that in a highly direct way. First look at the behaviour of that main character in dating that woman and what he was asking her. Second, look at how much there was a justification (or a lack of it) for the way he behaved toward that man who entered his church then look again at how he behaved toward that same man when the latter returned with more power. 
And since we are talking about the scene of that guy coming back, how about the way the bible was physically used directly and as a representation for what is really is serving or being sacrificed for what?   

Unlike the real world where one may  get confused how much weight he should give to signs he sees, in a movie or a novel you know a significance was attached to something by merely  including or bringing the focus to it. So if you cant recognize such a character despite knowing about the intended  effort in the latter what would you do in the former? And by the way that was not a very high grade of character deception (The word "character" was used here to refer to the type of deception not the type of the deceiving entity as being a character in a movie or a story).
