I Am Mortal (2021)

Lauren Lindsey Donzis: Amanda

Quotes 

• Amanda : I remember you telling me that mortals needed religion because they were afraid of dying. But with immortal beings, there is no fear of death and so no need for religion. Religious citizens talked about being alive for a God-given purpose, that their time on Earth was intentionally difficult, and that they were each given a soul which was immortal.

• Amanda : What about free will?

  The Pilot : Free will is responsible for every grain of suffering in human history. I watched many people die. People I cared about. And I saved everyone. I saved everyone else from experiencing that pain. Look at me. Death is nothing more than a looming black hole. There is no other existence on some other plane. No god, no angels. It's a fairytale, Amanda. It's fantasy. I created heaven in Alisandre. Right here, right now. Free will is responsible for every grain of suffering in human history. I watched many people die.

Why should there ever be all that suffering? Why would Logos want to be responsible for this? I created him. I gave him life, safety, a... a place away from fear and uncertainty. They all are right here with me. I am going to save you from yourself, Logos.
