Sex and Religion in The Exorcist
In the movie “The Exorcist” the devil, which inhabits Regan’s body, consistently uses sexual images and motions to challenge faith and contest Christianity and God’s existence. Sex is an act that is, to most, considered sacred. ... To Christians, sex was originally a gift from God and was to be cherished. ... In “The Exorcist” the devil uses brazen and vulgar sexual acts in the presence of the priests and Regan’s mother. ... Sex and the church are two things that, in this day are never combined. To Christians, sex has become something that you just wouldn’t talk about and defiantly wouldn’t do.
