High Five of the Day - Theology and atheism at the movies with Leonardo Dicaprio’s Shutter Island - National Messianic Jewish | Examiner.com

Mariano Grinbank has written an awesome article about the image of God put into the movie Shutter Island. The movie explores the nature and source of morality and unfortunately does not take a Biblical view. But that's all right because God blessed Marianao for setting them straight! Mariano wrote:

God gave us “moral order” which means that He is not subject to the moral order prescribed for humans and that moral order contains moral violence such as self-defense, capital punishment, etc.
In fact, without that moral order we would have no basis upon which to condemn violence (any basis beyond personal preferences that are plagiarizes from the Judeo-Christian moral order to begin with).
