More importantly, being a victim doesn't justify evil acts--like attacking someone in a parking lot or sending them to Hell. In fact, NO ONE deserves to be tortured for eternity; Hell is logically absurd because we are only here a finite time and can only commit finite evil acts, therefore, the idea of being punished eternally is not justice (justice being balance). No, the gypsy woman WAS evil. Anyone that condemns someone to eternal torture is evil. I'm not making excuses for Christine either: kicking the gypsy woman out of her house was wrong, in my view. But that's nothing compared to what Ganesh did. Even Hitler didn't torture his victims forever. While I'd agree that the gypsy woman was A victim, she wasn't THE victim.

I can't think of anyone that deserves to be tortured for an eternity, even someone like Bin Laden. Sure, he should go to jail, and I wouldn't care if tomorrow he got killed by a bomb.... but being tortured forever? Seriously SR, wtf. I agree, I like the movie but what SR said is absurd.

There are all sorts of reasons to be greedy and cruel to other people. They can be justified by logic or you could use the rules of an institution or a government or the military. " I will always use my logic to my benefit and not to others, giving away my freedom to think to a religion and its religious rules is tyranny and calling self preservation greed or a sin so you can control people's behavior in society is pure stupidity.

If I did 10000 good deeds but made one wrong mistake at the wrong time I deserve to go to hell? Its not that bad if I killed a cat because I was pushed to a breaking point and get haunted by a demon TWICE. Put yourself in Christine's shoes, wouldn't you have done the same? Someone who has the power to curse someone to go to hell cant pay the house bills. No, the old lady is definitely the villian - I cant agree that just because Christine didnt give the old lady an extension (after all, its a temporary solution to the problem. How long do you want to keep having loan extensions? The bank isnt a charity service. Besides, she could have stayed with her granddaughter but she was obstinate.) she deserved to get assaulted in her car, haunted by a demon, pay $10,000 for nothing, haunted by the old lady's spirit, and finally go to hell. SR needs to look at himself for this. If anything, the fact that the old gypsy is a VICTIM is simply ridiculous. If you ask me, cursing someone to eternal damnation just because she made the wrong mistake at the wrong time is simply absurd. The old gypsy is the one who deserves to go to hell. BECAUSE NO ONE DESERVES TO GO TO HELL FOR MAKING THE WRONG MISTAKE AT THE WRONG TIME. PERIOD. P.S. SR, your movie taught me 3 things. 1: Never offend gypsies. 2: I deserve to go to hell for killing my cat AFTER someone cursed me to go to hell EVEN IF I DON'T kill my cat. 3: Someone who curses people to eternal damnation for not giving her a loan extension and because the person beat her in a fair fight doesn't deserve to go to hell - and is instead the real "victim". 2 Words. You Fail. Thats absurd – doing one bad thing in a lifetime doesnt make you a bad person. If I did 10000 good deeds but made one wrong mistake at the wrong time I deserve to go to hell?
