Athiest or Survivalist in "No Country">

This is an article from a letter printed on RogerEbert.com, which was later responded to in a full article by Jim Emerson on his site, Scanners. It deals with the theory Anton Chigurh of No Country for Old Men was a survivalist and athiest instead of the mythical reaper figure most have implied. I advise against reading this if you have not seen No Country for Old Men. The movie is good the first two times for interpretation, the third time to look back from great readings and interpretations which do the movie justice. This is one of them, but goes too far in-depth (book and movie) and gives you the intention-of-the-creator type interpretation, which always limits the ways you can interpret a movie. http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/2008/03/no_god_for_anton_chigurh.html#more
