: everyone has a right to their opinion,,,,but damn......I don't understand why people think he might have gotten in? It's not like all he did was call god a stupid face or something. Loki even said it....it was war on god, it doesn't seem like something that could be forgiven...It just seems like everyone wants to see a happy ending.....you should want a realistic ending.
Okay, I think its more than probable to say that our boy Bart didn't make it back into the golden gates but what I'm really curious about is if Loki did. Barleby's motivation had changed, he was bitter and wanting to exact revenge by the end of the movie, but still all Loki wanted to do was go home. He never blasphemed. In fact, he did his best to sway his friend from going further. And in the end he died trying to stop Bartleby. So do you guys think that's enough to warrant Loki making it back into the golden gates?
For me I think Bartleby deserved hell. And I think this became evident with both his want to kill Bethany and his actual murder of both the cardinal and Loki. The Cardinal may have been a bit stubborn and an egotist but his heart was in the right place. He loved God and was a messanger, even if he was a bit confused. I was quite disheartened to see Bartleby kill him so brutually. To hell with him.:P
