These are the faces of human behaviour and misgivings that can define the contours of ethics, punishment, and rapture. The Christian Bible states at the end of days the Harlot of Babylon will corrupt men and turn them towards the AntiChrist, the adversary of Jesus the Christ.
In modern times, globalization economics favors a pedestrianism stylized philosophy, making 'vernacular art' (e.g., comic books, fast food cuisine, mobile tech, etc.) akin to a people's religion.
Hollywood (USA) has seen a flurry of comics-adapted films such as "The Dark Knight" [2008] and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" [2014]. These films present outlandish heroes and villains who symbolize a human worry about extreme behaviors and ethics gone haywire.
In this climate, awareness of the value of social contracts comprises a new kind of 'Christian intelligence.'
The great philosopher-writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau presented in his seminal work The Social Contract the notion that the only legal form of government is one that rules by consent.
Could we understand the quality of modern social contracts (e.g., Napster, Enron, etc.) in terms of 'folk imagination'?
Why has Hollywood (USA) experimented with Christian mythos-adapted films such as The Omen, The Devil's Advocate, and The Ninth Gate? Perhaps the Devil is becoming a comic book character.
