he was talking about Col Ugh, you're so right. I totally read that wrong.

It was Ian who was arguing that there is no God, not Cate. Precisely my point. She's the one saying that there's a God and yet she removes the bullets and calls it fate.

Ian is condemning the soldier for... I didn't really go into Ian because I just wasn't very interested in him. At least the soldier was honest about his wrong doings. I totally don't believe that Ian ever killed anyone. Even the soldier knew better because Ian just didn't get it. Here we have a man taking advantage of a woman who even he acknowledges is rather slow and waving his phallic symbol around claiming to be a killer, but when he comes face-to-face with the real deal, he's literally devoured. And Ian has excuses for his actions. He loves Cate, she was being a tease, he might need the gun and it's his "job" and they deserve to be wiped out... Yet when the soldier asks him about it, Ian couldn't even think up of a scenario until pressed, and even then he'd choose to shoot them quickly in ( ... )
