- Quotes
Detective William Murdoch: [Disturbed by Braxton's suicide] He had a beautiful home... wife... child. Not only does he throw all of that away but condemns himself to eternal damnation by commiting suicide.
Dr. Julia Ogden: Perhaps he felt that Hell was no worse than the torment he was living in.
Detective William Murdoch: There's always hope.
Dr. Julia Ogden: He was living a sham. Everything was a lie. Secretly he was in love with someone he could never be with, and furthermore that person was about to marry someone else.''
Detective William Murdoch: Yes, but to kill himelf!
Dr. Julia Ogden: Really, William. I'm surprised at your closed-mindedness!
Detective William Murdoch: Even leaving the Bible aside...
Dr. Julia Ogden: Yes, could we?
Detective William Murdoch: It goes against nature.
Dr. Julia Ogden: Oh, rubbish! Nature is full of omnisexual behavior. Have you never seen male dogs at play?
Detective William Murdoch: But those are dogs.
Dr. Julia Ogden: We're all animals, William. Behaving as nature intended. If God didn't want us to express our desires, then why would he give us desires in the first place?
Detective William Murdoch: To test our resolve.
Dr. Julia Ogden: At whose expense? Surely *this* is not God's plan.
There is a wedding going to take place and in this beautiful big church.
The people in the wedding are all set for this happy event the best man, the bride etc. Nobody seems to like each other.
The groom does not enter the church when he is supposed to and they go look for him. He is found dead. He is killed with the metal Cross of Jesus.
After this I stopped watching. 1. They portrayed the church goers as mean. 2. The church party did not like each other 3. The murder takes place in a church. 4. And to top it off the groom was killed with large metal cross. Murdoch holds up the Cross that supposed to be the weapon and says "seems like nothing is sacred these days. That is for sure especially in Murdoch Mysteries.
Once and a while if series portrayed religious people in a good way I would not be offended but this never happens. It seems many episode display religious people as the aggressor, the evil person the one who does not accept others because they are so "religious and so perfect". The episode with author of Sherlock Holmes talked about religion as cold and dead. Murdoch ends up thinking psychic stuff might be true. I hope people that love God will see through these lies and not get discouraged.
You will not see any loving Christians in this at least not yet. I have seen 7 of season 7 and 4 of season 1. Murdoch is a superficial Catholic and scenes of church people are bad. I do hope believers will watch these shows and comment on the shows biased content.
