The religious issues dealt with in this film are to do with murder and theft.They are both religious issues because the bible says quite clearly in that:"Thou shalt not kill""Thou shalt not steal"(Exodus 20)These rules come from the Ten Commandments and that the Bible also says that anyone who murders will,"Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed"(Genesis 9)Carl and Willie are both murderers at the end of the film and they both loose their lives and are dragged off to hell by demons. So they have their blood shed by men and are denied to spend an eternity in heaven. The bible says,"Thieves and swindles shall not inherit eternal life."The film is aimed at a younger audience and it is really telling them that good behaviour takes you to heaven and bad behaviour takes you to hell.
