Yes random chance is irrational. Believing all this is a random eventuality is like believing a monkey could write a coherent novel if he bangs on a keyboard long enough. It's illogical. The perpetual nature of life and the nature of code and complex systems is evidence (not proof) of intelligent design. If you were intellectually honest, you'd see that.

You display an ill-conceived notion of evolution. Evolution is far from random.
Mutations
are random; however, natural selection (and myriad other processes like sexual selection) are decidedly not random. If a random mutation produces a fitness (reproductive) benefit, those mutations propagate throughout a species. If they are deleterious (decrease reproductive success), they are winnowed from the gene pool. Again, this is not a random process.
If you wish to learn more about what evolution is actually about you really should pick up any number of books that are available for laymen. You are merely attacking a straw man with your nonsense about randomness.

I never stated evolution was random I wasn't even talking about evolution at all. I was talking about the theory that the first living cell came from random eventuality of conditions. Do you understand now?

Christ would not ask for human sacrifice to appease a demon, nor would He demand a child sacrifice.
Have you actually read the Bible? Cause God does exactly this on multiple occasions.

So God and Christ aren't one and the same?
Your ideology is ridiculously confusing. No, not confusing-that would imply there was something of substance to understand. It's just plain ridiculous.

It's Hollywood. Not limited to Stephen King. The same kind of negative portrayal of Muslims or Jews would be denounced as "racism". It's getting quite annoying. I am in no way suggesting that Christianity is above-criticism or ridicule (I'm an atheist), but the double-standard that Hollywood has for the portrayal of religions shows a clear bias.

Who says she's representative of all Christians? Seemed kind of clear to me that she was insane, with or without the faith.
If anything, she was more of a fanatic/cult-type. Doesn't necessarily mean the film was bashing Christianity. Try harder to find something to be offended by.
Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.
