Exactly, and it goes deeper than just the personal or the power dynamic. For many, sacred ideas represent the foundation of their worldview—challenging them can feel like challenging the very core of their existence. It’s a hard thing to digest when your belief system is questioned, especially if it’s intertwined with your identity. But it’s also interesting how these reinterpretations can push people to think more critically about what they believe and why. It’s uncomfortable, yes, but growth often comes from discomfort.

It’s interesting how deeply ingrained some beliefs are, to the point where even something as harmless as a game can spark accusations of promoting satanism. The real issue, though, isn’t just the perception of a game but the way religious teachings often shape children’s worldviews from such a young age. Take things like forcing kids to wear hijabs or pushing them into child marriages—they’re not just about faith; they’re about control and limiting autonomy.

Even the constant bombardment of fairy tale-like stories in religious settings can harm a child’s development. It stifles critical thinking and encourages the acceptance of the fantastical over rational, evidence-based understanding. The fact that something as benign as a game can be viewed as a threat shows how deep the fear of challenging these narratives goes. It’s a reminder that the real damage is often done when kids are taught to accept things without question, simply because it’s “part of the tradition.”

I can see how the scene might come off as body horror, but as the story progresses, the layers of symbolism become clearer. The three eyes and the way the character interacts with the corpse are definitely unsettling, but they take on a deeper meaning as the events unfold. Without giving too much away, the connection to the Christian Trinity becomes a central theme that challenges the viewer’s understanding of suffering, presence, and absence. The Father and Holy Spirit’s seeming detachment plays into a broader commentary that unpacks the way suffering and divine roles are perceived.

As for the concept of faith, I agree with you—faith can be a powerful anchor or a delusion, depending on how it’s wielded. The more we dig into these ideas, the more we realize how much people shape their beliefs to align with what they feel is most comforting, even if it’s not supported by tangible reality.

That’s an interesting point, and it’s true that religious institutions have often been about maintaining control, shaping belief to fit a centralized narrative. The way scripture is interpreted and enforced can definitely create a system where questioning or alternative viewpoints are discouraged. It’s almost like a constant reinforcement of trust in the authority—be it the Pope, clergy, or anyone in a position of power within the religious structure.

The story of Abraham is a stark example of this kind of unquestioning obedience, and it’s unsettling to think about how such acts are framed as divine tests. It raises a lot of questions about the nature of faith, morality, and the ways we accept or challenge authority in our lives. Sometimes, it’s not about belief itself, but about how and why we’re made to believe.

You have to remember that the scripture is dictated from the top: the Pope to the bishops to the priests to the masses, or the equivalent in other sects/religions. Therefore it’s not so much about belief as it is about control: “trust my words only, disregard anything someone else says to contradict it.” And it’s repeated over and over with every sermon. Heck, the whole start of the Abrahamic religion is someone being told “kill your son, trust me bro it’s the right thing to do.

I used to feel insulted by stuff like this when I was Christian, so I get it. For many, religion provides a sense of purpose and meaning, and questioning that can feel like a direct attack. The thing is, for some, logic itself becomes a threat. It shakes the foundation of what they hold most dear, and that’s uncomfortable. This review, for example, comes from a book that explores the idea that a hypothetical god-like entity must be fundamentally twisted in order to make sense in a logical framework. It’s a challenging perspective, but one that makes us rethink how we view divinity in relation to the world around us.

Exactly! It’s human nature to defend what we believe, especially when it’s something foundational to our identity. But I think the challenge is in being open to the possibility that being ‘right’ isn’t the end-all-be-all. Flexibility allows for growth, but it requires the courage to step outside of our comfort zones and be willing to entertain new perspectives, even when it’s uncomfortable.

It’s fascinating how anything that disrupts the echo chamber is labeled as dangerous. It makes you wonder—if a belief system is truly unshakable, why fear questioning it? The idea that truth can’t withstand scrutiny seems contradictory. Maybe that’s why reinterpretation is so threatening—it forces people to confront the possibility that their ‘absolute truths’ might not be so absolute after all.
