Not to mention, King also hates when "Christians" use/abuse their faith to cause suffering among others they feel are inferior to them (especially those they claim they "love"; looking at you Margaret White) and justify it with said faith. See Mrs. Carmody in "The Mist" or the Warden in "Shawshank Redemption" as examples. Which, again is fair.

The book elaborated a little on that. Who is responsible? - The general who wanted research in biological weapons? - The scientists who created the virus? - The technician who built a faulty piece? - The person who approved the faulty piece? - The security guard who ran out? - The person who hired said security guard? We can argue that everybody is responsible, yet the responsibility is spread so thin that nobody is responsible. If one believes to a higher power, one can blame it for so many errors aligning so perfectly.

She was more of an apostle through most of the story rather than a Christ surrogate though (Or a John the Baptist since she baptized (showed the way) to those who were meant to save the world and fight evil. It would be closer is Flagg had succeeded in having her killed... maybe had her head brought in on a platter ALA John's head in the Bible). Larry would be the most clear Christ surrogate oddly. He had the temptation, the martyring... and Stu would probably be St. Peter who lived on and became the first Pope (who helmed the church after the resurrection). Anyway... that's how I saw it.

When asked about the religious aspect of this movie, King said his aim was to do his take on the Hero's Journey narrative set in a uniquely American and modern way. The HJ always has a mystical element to it and, to him, the only thing that made sense to be both mystical and modern in America was Christianity. The structure of the story he's telling literally required him to do a positive take on Christianity.

Another thing that may have contributed is the fact that He wrote The Stand to be 'Lord of the Rings In an American setting'. And Christian theming was a huge thing in Tolkien's work. Adding onto this, Abigail seems to have Gandalfs role and Gandalf was the Legendarium equivalent of an Angel.

One small correction, Fran didn't have Stu's baby, she was pregnant before the flu hit and the baby's father died early on. Her telling Stu she was pregnant was just to let him know, putting her cards out on the table, so to speak. That was one reason the settlement was afraid the baby would catch the flu when it was born, since it had one immune parent and one non-immune

Yep, that's why they were concerned the baby would not inherit immunity to the virus because her father wasn't immune, and the baby was sick for a few months after birth if I remember correctly and then got better and survived, and the entire town was concerned because hers was the first birth in that community and some of the other pregnant women were worried that it would be possible the baby would somehow catch the virus even if both parents were immune and may not fight it off in time as newborns simply because they had seen so much death Igyess and they weren't absolutely sure as these were the first births. The entire community was worried as well. They cared for the people as individuals and they also knew if the babies didn't survive and inherit the immunity from their mothers, that would be the end of any generations going forward and presumably the human race besides those in vegas with the dark man, Randall Flagg. Sorry for the run-on sentences.

I was 9 and in third grade when I first read the Stand. Had the Stand as my silent reading book. I'll never forget my teacher coming up to my desk, kneeling down next to me, and asking if my parents knew I was reading that since it was a pretty big and grown-up book. She was super nice about it, but didn't believe me when I told her my parents knew I was reading it and they said it was okay. She knew I was a strong reader and tended to blow through the books in our classroom library pretty fast, but she was a little concerned about me undertaking The Stand for so, so many reasons now that I understand what I was reading. (My mom is a librarian too and both her and my dad are not only huge readers like me but huge fans of Stephen King his books were all over my house growing up) my teacher actually called my mom to talk with her about my choice book. The rule with me reading it was if I didn't understand a word or what was happening in a particular chapter I was to ask my parents and show them the part I was struggling with and it wasn't a question to be asked at school. I also wasn't allowed to talk about the book with my friends at school or repeat anything I read in it. It was and still is one of my favorite books. When the mini-series came out a year later when I was in 4th grade I was so excited and it didn't disappoint.

Randall Flagg is a servant to the Crimson King, who's basically the "devil" of Stephen King's multiverse. Flagg appears in several other King stories under different names, most prominently as the "Man in Black" aka Walter O'Dim in The Dark Tower. So while he's not a servant of the christian version of the devil, he IS a servant of the ultimate evil in King's writings. Therefore I think it's up for debate if the God Mother Abigail serves is literally the christian God, or if it's another benevolent deity in King's universe like the giant space turtle Maturin. EDIT: and as soon as I write that, Malcolm mentions Maturin.

In the Dark Tower universe, "God" is *Gan* , aka "The White". The benevolent force that the gunslingers serve. He is first mentioned by name in the 6th book, "Song of Susannah", as the enemy of the Crimson King and Discordia.

All well and good yet in this mother Abigail constantly mentions the Christian god and sings what a friend we have in Jesus, I think what they were going for with this miniseries was less the expanded universe and a simple matter of a servant of god and a servant of Satan

I was looking specifically for this answer, thank you :). There is also the scene in the Dark Tower series where the Ka-tet comes across the abandoned highways that were the aftermath of this virus. I agree that the true nature of the god that Mother Abigail is following is up for debate, but I think that NC makes a good point that to her, it is the Christian God.

I still clearly remember the nightmarish scene I had about Flagg in my dream. What occurred was that I was one of the survivors of the virus. I decided to explore my abandoned grandmothers house. And that’s when I encountered him. He was in the main coatroom area of her house and it was nearly pitch black. I didn’t see him however I could *feel* him. His grin, the laugh, the watching of his demonic eyes. I didn’t see him yet I could. My heart was racing and I couldn’t breath. It all felt so real which is what made it terrifying. i sure as hell got the fuck outta there but I never had felt pure terror like that before. It’s one of the many reasons why I adore the stand because never has a villain from a book ever appeared in my dreams let alone scare me to such a degree. Oh and I also had another nightmare where everyone I loved was dying from the sickness around me and I could do nothing about it to stop it. Fun times.

All I know about this book is the review my husband drunkenly wrote for it after finishing: Tears welled in Fran's eyes as she realized she would never hear the fruit stripe gum commercial anymore. She had just finished her journal entry about how much she loved Stu and hated that nerd Harold. The council meeting was about to happen. The town was filled with very skilled people, lawyers and other highly educated folks but the council was populated by mechanics and pregnant college dropouts on the grounds that they arrived to the town a week before the populace that had the proper experience in such matters. Meanwhile in Las Vegas there is some seriously cool shit going down. Like, if this was a Stephen King novel the horrific stuff that you would be interested in hearing about.....we've been on this for at least 6 pages now.... Meanwhile in Boulder Colorodo here comes 200 pages of town council meetings to discuss what the town flower and gem is going to be. Fran starts to cry, and Stu says "what is it Fran?" "It's the yummy fruity one Stu! The yummy fruity one!"

I sat down and watched this during early March, cuz I had heard a news report that gave me flash backs to that opening sequence with the scientists all laying dead while Don't Fear The Reaper jams out. To King's credit, that whole scenario in the first act, while the speed of spread of the contagion is a bit exaggerated in some regards, turned out to be frighteningly accurate. One single man toured italy during 1-2 weeks in the month of February 2020, struggling with a strange and persistent mild flu which never seemed to go away. Over the course of that time span, between playing soccer with friends, going on jogs out in public, and just generally enjoying the Italian countryside, it's estimated that he spread the virus to nearly 400-700 other people, blissfully unaware of what his increasingly severe symptoms actually meant. It wasn't until two separate hospital visits after his symptoms worsened that doctors finally realized that the man was extremely contagious. As a matter of fact, he was basically the real world equivalent of that one single man and his family from The Stand who seeded a virus across the entire country over the course of a single 8-12 hour drive just by making a couple of stops at gas stations along the way. #StephenKingBeScaryRealLikeThat
