Despite Max von Sydow screaming, "The power of Christ compels you!"" The almighty doesn't seem to be all that helpful when it comes to keeping you safe. In the Conjuring Universe, he seems downright impotent.

In 2018's The Nun, the demon known as Valak attacks an abbey and murders a group of nuns. Which raises a theological Question: Exactly how powerful does a demon have to be to casually murder or possess a passel of Catholic nuns? You’d think being a “Bride of Christ” would at least give you some kind of protection from evil.

You'd think a church would be a haven from the forces of evil, but you may as well hide out at the local Starbucks for all that "Holy Ground" would do to keep you safe.

I recently watched Blade: Trinity, and while it's loaded with all these cool vampire-fighting weapons, the one that cracked me up was Jessica Biel's Laser Arc.

It is described as “half as hot as the sun,” which sounds impressive until you realize that it still clocks in at roughly 5,000°F. It would not only burn and vaporize human skin in milliseconds, but steel and iron would melt and turn into gas.

Yeah, not a very practical weapon for someone to hold. What other science fiction weapons don't make much sense?
