RE your spoiler points..

Spoiler for answers?:
Of course the villain was not God but he was the god of his region. He is a badass cop who defeats whatever he considers evil. The mother probably did not have actual sex with either of her sons but she did treat them like sexual partners. They competed for her love. Gosling may have killed his father. We don't know why - that is a question. Perhaps he, his brother, and his father all vied for the attention and approval of his mother.
Spoiler for spoiler:
The sons definitely banged their mom.
