Bolt's intent is to illustrate the contradictions in the way we make our choices. He believes that theories confuse the masses, and that people need to focus themselves on the improvement of "self," rather than attempting seesaw between religious and moral beliefs. Bolt sees the religious choices More suggests as hypocrital, which is dangerous for all involved. Thus, he believes that it is man's law rather then God's law, which should be followed.
