All religions
>>745225940Wrong question. Because there are no media without religious morality. It's just that where faith in Christ is absent, it's replaced by Satanism. It’s that simple.
>>745226485i mean, satan did beguile eve to eat the forbidden fruit of knowledge...
People portray Objectively evil characters from older religions as misunderstood or Anti-heroic but still redeemable in modern media.But the moment you do this whit Any current religions character its serious business.
>>745225940Sure, they let me cast Smite, Turn Undead, and Heal Wounds.
>>745226485>Isaiah 45: 5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:>6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.>7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.Viewing satan as separate from God is believing him to be another god.
>>745227063Satan is nod a God, but evil that comes in absence of the GodThat is why every media should be Christian
>>745226485Is there any western animation that isn't a shill for liberalism? >>745227063>other spiritual beings exist. >They must also be God.
Ness, Mario, Link, and all Dragon Quest protagonists are christians in my eyes.
>>745227701>revelation 22:>8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.>9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.>10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.>11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.>12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.>13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.>14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.There can be no absence of God. He always was and always will be. The absence of God would be the absolute void, non-existence. A void so absolute and impossible it doesn't even make sense to think about.>>745228031>other spiritual beings existDo I even have to cite the bible on why you're wrong?

reddit athiests forming like Voltron.
>>745228967You're not proving an absence of God doesn't exist. God is not evil, and people (Biblically) are.
>>745225940I miss religion as a backdrop in older games. You could tell they had actual knowledge of it. New games are very nihilistic, lost in moral compass and usually the church is le bad guy.
All games about defeating evil is christian
>>745225940Yes.
>>745225940Of course.
>>745225940Definitely. Most fighting games for example depend on a backdrop that assumes Asian religions to be true due to people manipulating ki/chi, chakras, etc.>>745228526Mario might be Christian, who knows. But he transforms himself into a Buddhist statue, if he's a Christian this might be a sin but I'm not an expert.
>>745225940Everything has a place in fiction. There are no subjects that are forbidden to write about. None. It's just a matter of who you're willing to piss off in order to tell the story YOU want to tell
>>745228031NTA but I think he's trying to go with the Jewish interpretation that it's impossible to rebel against God because everything is God's will. While in Christianity, evil is the absence of God, in Judaism God is everything, including evil. That's why there's no Devil in Judaism, just angels doing God's dirty work. Exodus actually explicitly says that God possessed the pharaoh to do the horrible things he was doing. It's a Bronze Age religion, what can you expect?
>>745226406SOUL
>>745235043Yeah....
>>745226485>Satan can't be evil because that would mean us, his worshippers, are evil!
Lord, give me strength!
>>745236167>Satan can't be evilEven if he tries his best? That's sad. I used to have such respect for him too
>>745225940Usually the actions of a MC are complete satanic hedonism, killing and taking as they please. With a hypocritical plot of helping and saving stacked on top of it.
>>745235596>Exodus actually explicitly says that God possessed the pharaoh to do the horrible things he was doing.Do you have a link for that?
>>745237554My knowledge of scripture isn't that good, but I'd assume he means the passage "God hardened his heart" or something to that effect
