We don't really get to see whether or not Josh owns a car. We don't get to see who's actually driving the car that kills Raddison, either. Add in that Josh seemed pretty desperate to win the debate against his philosophy professor, and you've got yourself a (somewhat) plausible motive for Raddison's death. And Josh is [[DesignatedHero supposed to be the hero of this story]], so [[KarmaHoudini of course he's going to get away with murder]].

In this alternate scenario, Light Yagami succeeds, becomes revered as a true god, and has (somehow) gained omniscience to detect unbelievers and make them either die or wish they were dead.

...the old woman with dementia, overjoyed by her chicken. Having lived her entire life as a radical fundamentalist Christian and closeted transexual, she secretly desires to be a young boy named Josh who plays out a typical fundamentalist's "persecuted Christian hero" fantasy. The chicken meals are the only thing that can bring her out of this fantasy. Otherwise, she spends the day staring at the wall, playing out the adventures of "Josh" and his heroic crusade to save souls and fight anti-Christian persecution. Her relatives are real: her son won't visit her because he's uncomfortable playing the part of "Josh's" girlfriend; and her daughter's boyfriend Mr. Raddison is an atheist and a perfectly decent man, but the fundamentalist old woman imagines him otherwise.

Both movies are set in a strange, surreal world where time has odd skips; social rules are unlike any we would ever experience in our world; people are flat caricatures; logic is nonexistent; and most striking of all, a special chosen person (Josh/Johnny) shines as a special martyr of a hero, whom everyone eventually comes to regret wronging by the end.

[[WMG:Both this movie is actually StealthParody of Christian propaganda]]
* With how over the top the movie is written, not to mention the number of cliches often found in Christian media being used here, this should be plain obvious.
** First off is how every non-believer character is portrayed as an evil monster, basically like something out of ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'' where not being a Christian is synonymous with being an immoral {{Jerkass}} and how often religious fundies try to portray their opponents like they're as crazy as them.
** Next is how Josh comes off as 10 times worse or no different than Radisson yet is still expected to be thought of as the hero by the audience. This is something that tends to be a huge problem with Christian media, the good guys are often [[TautologicalTemplar Tautological Templars]] who think they're justified in everything they do even when what they do is often no different than what the villains do.
** Then there's the cliched portrayal of atheists only being atheist because of some tragedy in their life rather than because they're just skeptical of such things. Lots of faith-based media revolves around trials and tribulations happening to its characters and often it'll have characters who RageAgainstTheHeavens when something goes wrong then turn from God afterwards.
** The portrayal of the Muslim dad as beating his daughter, making her follow strict rules, and disowning her after finding out she converted to Christianity tends to be how a lot of Evangelical Christians think Muslims are like.

** Going by this theory, there are two more possible (and better) endings for this film. Radisson is walking down the street saying to himself "God does not exist! He does not! It is bullshit! Oh, hi, car." Or....Josh loses the debate after calling Radisson a "big fat chicken" and doing a ridiculous chicken impression. He leaves the debate in tears as everyone laughs him off the stage. Josh runs crying to his dorm room where he has a tantrum and tears the place up. In despair, he picks up a hammer and some nails, screams "I am fed up with this world!" and crucifies himself. (Yeah, I don't know how he would get the other hand done either.)
