Reconcile with sin?

I watched it on the Huashan Light Spot in Taipei for two weeks. I suspect that the person who wrote the Chinese introduction on Huashan Light Spot has never seen this movie at all... The discussion on the nature of personal sin and the religious attitude towards sin have become obvious. A shallow "church political criticism", as if this society can avoid the difficulty of personal reflection only by turning the gun on the outside, creating enemies and crises to create identity. "What matters is not atonement, but living with sin", I understand sin in Camus' way. Sin may also be a manifestation of the separation of the perfect rational world from the individual mind, an absurdity. It takes real courage and reason to be soberly aware of the absurd, rather than cover it up with grand religious rituals. Otherwise, one sin can only be used to cover up another sin.
