    Terrible, Exorcist 3 is pretty decent though and nurse station scene is easily the scariest bit in a movie. Ever.

    Every society believes in morality because there is clear evidence of it. People usually (not always) believe in their local religion (or at least a watered down version of it) because they had it forced on them when they were children.
