- When I lecture on Old Testament Theology, and on the
hardening of Pharaoh's heart, I use the scene
from TOMBSTONE when Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) asks
Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) "What makes a man like Ringo do the
things he does?" Holliday answers "A man like
Ringo has got a great empty hole running right
through the middle of him...he can never kill enough, or steal enough,
or inflict enough pain to ever fill it." Wyatt asks "What does he
want?" Doc answers "Revenge." To Wyatt's
question "For what?" Doc answers "...bein'
born." A powerful picture of the interaction
of choices and inheritance in the making of an
evil person.
