EXCELLENT article, actually. Good call, especially dug this: “But if you look at it as an ‘our children are misbehaving down there’ scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, ‘Lets’ send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it. Guess what? They crucified him.’” Man, this totally presented the flick in a new light, right?

Sorry I never wanted that to be in religious tone. I guess We can;t help it these days as delusion and science is clashing a lot already.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

Proxy: Where are we now? Don't tell me the xeno is going to wind up as a biomechanical instrument of vengeance? Because Pontius Pilate misbehaved on a grand scale? We're in Pumpkinhead territory now, all we'll need is Lance Henrikson with xeno starring as the Pumpkinhead. I don't know about this, or as they say in Star Wars : "I have a bad feeling about this."

I agree, didn't want that aspect either - but there's something interesting about how Scott's interviews point that tangible conflict over religion is prevalent more than ever - as you so rightfully stated above. Nothing like a good game of "My invisible friend is better than your invisible friend" between religions, right? As science and religious belief crash into one another, this movie deals with faith versus fact. That, my friend, is what needs to be reconcilled in this flick. As long as we don't get into some heavy-handed bullshit, it'd be interesting to see how this all ties together.
