* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did Malachai turn on Isaac because he wanted to lead the cult in his own way as a bloodthirsty zealot? Or was he right when he said that Isaac was becoming egotistical and put himself above the other children?
--> '''Isaac:''' Do not blaspheme, Malachai. You know not the laws. He speaks them only to me.
--> '''Malachai:''' I think not Isaac. You are the one who's lost favor with him. He's a god of blood and sacrifice, not ceremonies.
--> '''Isaac:''' Ahh! Sacrilege! Down on your knees, heretic.
--> '''Malachai:''' ''[grabs Isaac]'' Shut your mouth, Isaac! You've grown prideful and apart from us!
** The other children don't protest when Malachai speaks out against Isaac, and in fact help him crucify Isaac on a corn cross. Did they believe Malachai was more fit to lead as a faithful follower of He Who Walks Behind The Rows? Or were they simply more afraid of him, and acted so that he wouldn't try to hurt them as well?
*** As further proof for either interpretation, earlier in the church, the girl teacher sends one of the boys to tell Isaac about Burt's presence, but then changes her mind and tells him to bring Malachai.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[EvilVersusEvil The rivalry between Isaac and Malachai]] for control of the other children is arguably the most interesting storyline, but it's mostly just used as a subplot to the more conventional narrative of Burt and Vicky trying to fight the cult and escape Gatlin.
