Isn’t here a scene from Monty Python where 20 crusaders are about to be wiped out by a horde of Muslims. A fight breaks on between a Dominican and a Franciscan monk.
“Free will” “No predestination” they yell as they roll on the ground choking each other.
As this fight breaks out the horde on the hill starts charging.
This reminds me of that.
I don’t know about the scene you are describing, but the sentiment is something I think k about every time I read articles like this and the ensuing comments. Enemies are kicking in the doors and have already scaled the walls and people here persist at tearing at each others’ throats.
