Why are there loads of popular and cool games, music, movies and TV series about the greek gods and germanic gods, going around smashing shit up etc but absolutely none about jesus christ and all those gay desert theologians telling you to pray and that sex is a sin and shit lmao

Is there a historical reason for this?

Jesus christ and his gay theologians aren't cool so they don't get cool media.

Wow, ten stars from Betty! I wonder if her grandson helped make her account

>okay guys time to make a video game that will make us some money
>we have 2 choices

>a game about these cool warrior guys that sail around getting into fights and adventures
>or
>game about this guy wandering around the middle east and doing a magic spell every few years

>what do you think we should do guys
It's the same reason that there are lots of games about WW2 but not so many about the exciting world of plastic bag design.

Seems to me like that type of god hates life and wants to deceive you or something.

They should make a video game about Jesus fighting the devil when he is wandering the desert. It could be like the Dante's inferno game and Jesus has to fight Lucifer with a giant cross.

I think there is some potential for video games in the Old testament, press F to not look at your wife or God will turn her into salt, steer your iron chariot to defeat yaweh, etc.

Because you don’t have to accurate or respectful when you make games about shit no one believes in. That gives you more creative license to make a mechanically fun game.

A group magic men with superpowers is entertaining to read about, not to worship as the ultimate moral anchor of the universe

Or, if you want a christian message
>>
>>18723075
Because ancient gods were cool and interesting. The christian god is just a hive mind slavelord

Most oppressed religion btw

>If we butcher Greek/Germanic lore about their gods in order to better suit our game/story then the only people who complain are academics that nobody listens to and who look stupid for criticising our product
>If we butcher Christian lore about their god in order to better suit our game/story then it becomes a national news story, a lot of Christian parents will boycott our product across America because it's 'anti-christian propaganda' (severely cutting into our bottom line) and it becomes this whole ... thing
Which way do you go OP?
>>
>>18723075
Many games have references from christian mythology. Think about the archangels or the seven deadly sins
>>
>>18723075
The real answer is they don't want to offend religious people
