God Told Me To (1976)

I'm Not Saying It Was Aliens But It Was Aliens

In the end, it has nothing to do with God. Back up to the beginning of the film...Peter J. Nicholas is a New York detective he begins to investigate a series murders where each of the murderers would confess what they did willingly and when asked why the answer is "God told me to". During one of the investigations he hears the story of a woman who was abducted by aliens, he finds this woman, goes to see her and the truth is revealed about her alien abduction and the "God told me to" series of murders. God has nothing to do with these murders in New York.

Spoiler: Nicholas meets the woman abducted by aliens to speak with her. She was impregnated by the alien/false God, gave the child up for adoption. Nicholas is that child today - part man/part alien (or false God).

There is an shiny golden alien (or a false God) with long golden hair that Peter meets who says "I can bear your child. Together we can start a new species." That is a clue as to what is going on here.

Several murders took place, each of the murderers confessed to their crimes saying "God told me to". Each were happy, pleased that they have appeased their God (or what they think is God).

In the end: That spaceship abduction showed me it as aliens and not a God. A God would not need a spaceship nor would it have a need to create a new race with a half man - a God would create the way he/she creates. ALIENS wanting to take over and create a new species (that would be half alien). Why speak the name of God? It's easier to say "God told me to" than explain the truth... in a way, Aliens could be their Gods.

Pretty good movie - I enjoyed watching.
