I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life, anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die. Deckard

The young Moses — destined savior of the Israelites but still living as a prince in the Pharaoh’s palace — is deeply skeptical of the Hebrews’ faith (and faith in general), but is nonetheless sympathetic to their plight. Eqyptian Administrator Hegep, however, dismisses the group as treacherous and rebellious, justifying his harsh treatment of them by saying, “Do you know what ‘Israelite’ means in their own language? ‘He who fights with God’.” But Moses corrects him, shaking his finger and shooting back, “‘He who wrestles with God’. There’s a difference.”

I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion", I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the "word of God." Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness, what God desires, is here (points at Balian's head) and here (points at Balian's heart). What you decide to do everyday, you will be a good man -- or not. Hospitaler
