     I really like this difference in the two appearances of the cross in Mac’s dance: at the very beginning of his story, it’s something separate from him, something he is on his knees with and crucified upon. After the storm and the death spiral*, after he’s thrown God from him and broken down, only to have her come back to pull him up again, they reform the symbol, this time with him standing as an active strong support.      Somewhere from Goes to Hell to Bathroom Problem to Finds His Pride, Mac reconciled his religion as something he doesn’t need to be hurt by and can go back to being an annoying Biblethumper about, or at least found a way to tell himself it’s possible :) *as it’s referred to in this excellent article about the creation of the dance
